From the Preface:
The object in compiling this volume is to present to the reader in compact and accessible form the available information regarding the application of oils and greases to leather. The use of oils and greases in the tannery is as old as the art of tanning, but in recent years the introduction of chrome process has greatly complicated the matter. The literature of tanning is copious, but there is need of more highly specialized books dealing with the different phases of leather chemistry and practical tanning.
This volume will, we hope, fill this void in so far as the use of oils and greases is concerned. The matter has already boon printed in serial form in the Shoe and Leather Reporter, but we have had many requests for the articles bound in permanent form so that they can be instantly available in every laboratory and tannery library.
