| TEXT | Formerly Plesselbarth's Tannery. In 1862 the business, as now carried on since 1881 by Kaufherr & Co., was founded by the former proprietors. The tannery is a frame building of 60 x 100 feet in extent, and is furnished with forty tan vats and a drying loft and has a capacity for tanning two hundred hides per week, and is fitted with all the necessary machinery for the trade and operated by a steam engine of sixteen-horse power. Constant employment is given to sixteen hands in the various departments of the works. A specialty is made in the tanning of leather and in splitting and finishing of collar leather. Mr. Kaufherr is a native of Gemiany and has been ten years in the United States ; is a tanner by trade, having spent the greater part of his life at it, and is now trading under the style of his firm of Kaufherr & Co. He is a gentleman of thorough, practical experience. The partner is Mr. O. Lochenberg, who is one of the largest leather manufacturers in the city and takes great interest in the firm. |
