    PIGSKIN FOR BOOKBINDING . •* DURABLE ^ . ECONOMICAL ? ATTRACTIVE *• Copy of Letter from the Mitchell Library , Glasgow . 8 th March , 1886 . I Gentleman , —In answer to your inquiry ~ as to the suitability of your * Pigskin Moroccos ' for book I binding , I have much pleasure in stating that we have formed a highly favourable opinion of them . W " I I have severe now wear bound and tear some , for hundreds a period of sufficientl volumes y in long this to material test the , some leather of . which It g have ives promise been subjected of remarkab to ver l ^ I strength and durability . So far as we can judge , it will prove well fitted to withstand the trying air , I hot and dry , which unfortunately exists in so many public libraries . I It is handsome in appearance , some of the colours strikingly so , and some of-the book are even I better-looking after a year than when newly bound . I would strongly recommend librarians ^ to make a \ I trial of this leather . —Yours faithfully , I T . Y . BABEETT , Librarian . I Messrs . JOHN MUIK & SOW , BBITEC , SCOTLAND . I I We respectfully solicit the attention of Bookbinders , I also those in quest of a most durable covering for books I Pf any sort to the foregoing , and the cost is low . I If trouble be experienced in procuring * the Material , I we ? shall with pleasure furnish Dealers' names on appli-I cation at the Tannery here . ^ - I JOHN MUIR & SON , BEITH , SCOTLAND .
