Summary
[edit]Description1881 - James K. Mosser Tannery.jpg |
English: The Mosser family owned a tannery in East Allentown. The business was established in 1859 as the Mosser, Keck and Co. The family operated two plants, one which is located in East Allentown, and the other at Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The Allentown tannery consisted of about four acres of ground, upon which were extensive buildings, sheddings, etc. The firm manufactured exclusively the Union Sole Leather, using in its tanning about twelve to fifteen per cent. of oak and eighty five per cent. hemlock bark, which is considered makes a very superior quality of leather. They annually processed about 30,000 hides, and use about seven hundred car loads of bark of ten ton each which were shipped to the tannery by the L. and S. Division of the New Jersey Central Railroad. During World War I, the Mosser Tannery manufactured many kinds of leather goods for the United States Army |
