An excerpt:
"The revival of interest in handicrafts has been a natural
reaction from the technically perfect but impersonal products of highly developed machinery
and it will, it is believed, prove of real benefit in providing
an enjoyable and constructive means for employing increased hours
of leasure.
Of the
various handicrafts, leatherwork holds forth special claims upon the interest of
an ambitious worker because of the simplicity of the processes, the
inexpensiveness of the equipment, and the practically noiseloess and therefore
non-irritating nature of the work. Yet leathercraft affords, at the same time,
an outlet for individuality and artistic expression in developing articles of
beauty and of enduring value."
