CANADIAN ELECTRICAL PROCESS COMPANY, Lilllilcd.

VER 3,no> years ago the Egyptians wore shoes or sandals made of

0 leather ant since that date no successful suhititu'e for this mater-

ial has been produced. Inventions of far reach ng importance

have in irked the progress of all industries. but in the tanning of leather the methods and processes in use today differ but slightly from those used by the Egyptians. The employment of e‘ectricity in the varied iudusiries of the world is comparatively reoeiit. Tanning of leather has never before enjoyed the aid cf this wonderful industrial agent and the Canadian Electrical Piooeis Company, Limited, li s now demonstrated the immense value ofthe electrical current in treating and tanning all classes of hides, skins and pelts.

This Company has power under its charter to Electrically or

otherwise unhair. tan, dye, wash. cleanse. bleach and otherwise treat Animal Furs. Hides. Skins, Textile and porns substances.

SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS.

The Co npany owns and controls all patents covering thete new

methods in Canada, Newfoundland and British West Indies.

The Canadian Electrical Process Company,incorporaIed at Halifax.

shall be the parent or holding Company and encourage the formation of subsidiary Companies throughout the Dominion of Canada and New- foundland to operate one or more branches of the business which the parent Company under its patents controls.

SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES.

These Companies will be licensed to make sole and tipper leather ;

do wool washing ; degrease, unhair and ran seal skins : treat cotton and cotton waste ; treat hair; cccoanut fibre; raimie; flax and rope ; treat iurs, sbecp>l<tns and wocl pelts; refine and manufactu-e vegetable and animal oils ; for dyeing,sbriukiug and colour setting; for bleachlng,and so on: each paying a royalty or bonus in cash and shares for the exclus~ ive right to operate within a given territory under any one or more of said patented methods, arts or processes.

UP-TO-DATE ELECTRICAL TANNERY.

The Company will build, equip. and operate, a tho oiighly up~to-

date tannery for the manufacture of leather by these processes. the ad- vantages of which will be shown in the course of this statement.

PROCESS FULLY' DEMONSTRATED.

The Company has had in operation at Halifax im- Sgme m°nih5_

a demonstrating plant to illustrate the various processes. methods and inventions of unbairing, washing. dyeing, tanning and otherwise treat-

The net earalngs of the plant proposed to be erected tvill greatly exceed the am inut required for the interest on the preference shares. This does not include any esti~u:it<: of profits from subsidiary companies.

ECONOMIES OF ELECTRICAL PRO SESS.

ECONOMY OF PROPOSED LOC AT ION. _

The ports of the Maritime Provinces are well situated for receiv-

ing hides and other materials required. Hides are reteived in quan- tities from South America and are landed cheaply bl! Will" ffeilim- Many of thcs: hides are forwarded _to Upper Canadian tanners who will be at a disadvantage on this point alone as compared \v_|th tl.is Company. for the reason. that hides lose 35 to 4o per cent. weight. in the tanning proaecw, so that the freight from the seaboard to tl:e West I. tower as ieiittiei nm as hides. giving the prod nets of a factory "1 the Maritime Provinces an initial advantage in Westeni markets over the p o:iucts of the tanneries operating right ou the spot.

BUSINESS MEN INTERESTED

From the above facts investors may feel_ sure that money may be

profitably and safely invested in this enterprise ; and also be assured by the names of the men wh: have undertaken its promotion. They have invested in it after having convinced themselves that the process is all that is claimed for it.. Arid. having given it n thorough test at the demonstrating plant referred to, are abfe to reconimand tt to the public

wi .h confidence.

PERSONNEL OF DIRECTORATE

ADVANTAGES OE THE ELECTRICAL TANNING PROCESS.

An Array of Facts Showing Why It ls -Superior to and so Much More Rapid Than Existing Flethfrds, and Therefore a Great Deal More Profitable.

NTIL the discovery of the above process which

U mtist revolutionize the tanning industry, the

mzinufacttire of s1ole,belting and harness leathers

was a long, laborious and tedious piocess, taking all the way from four to seven months to conveit the raw material into thc finished article. After patient and expensive experimenting bv thc inventor, this proce.<§l\:isl>ecn perfected. It has proved to be suc- cessful in every respect, and has solved the problem of quick tannage. especially the quick tatinage of heavy hides. It is entirely different from anything heretofore known in the att of making leather. It is now no experiment. but an uiiquestt nable succc~s, and fully justifies the words used above indicative of a revolution in tanning. 7'/rv. hmm'/,rl mer hiilm fire fliur/»1r_r/lr/_ry ini/I/iirrffl, //rrrrwl mv/ rm/ly In lie rnarkffnrl in lhf rfmrrr/mbly /:hart n/mi-é nf'Il|ir/y rlnyv The priinem /uno /nam /I»m..n~Iml»r[ /./¢_i/.mil r/u/-a/inn ¢_./WI. dun//l lluu il is alr- wlrzlfly an/fe, ~1n~f>, cunnm'ri-iri//_y pr/Ifliciil mul merms a tre- merul/in~ .urr‘/115; mv-r ilu' ulfl u:n,_I/ /5/`!ri1irrin_r/, not only in I/in rm/ 1_1/ m1mn_/}Irlv1ri'ri_f/_ ~ri1‘iri_r/ nf lime, If/lmr, :par/' am( pau,-fir, but in nur/ring a /miter rm/I _/liner _qra/lr, rf lna(l|¢r ri,-liiulr l»rr'ri_r//1 lr higher prize in Ill/ /:pen m/iikel.
