Texas Called
Minor League
In Leathers
One of the greatest cattle
producing areas of the world,
the state of Texas, is a minor
league operator in the leather
supply industry, according to
a survey of the state recently com
pleted by research economists at
the Texas Engineering- Experiment
Station.
A review of the Texas leather in
dustry shows that tanneries of the
state can supply less than 2 per
cent of the grain leather needed
by Texas manufacturers of shoes,
bags, billfolds and other leather
articles.
In 1954 Texas manufacturers of
leather products used approximate
ly $8,500,000 worth of grain leath
er. Of this amount 98 per cent
came from sources outside the
state, according to James R. Brad
ley, assistant research economist
of the Experiment Station.
Bradley believes the grain
leather market in Texas and the
Southwest is now large enough to
encoui’age a large tannei’y opera
tion in the state, to take advantage
of this market outlet, and to save
transportation costs. To ship 100
pounds of tanned leather from Bos
ton to Dallas, his report shows,
costs $4.99; ft'om Milwaukee to
Dallas the freight on the same
weight is $3.37. Bradley believes
large tannery operation in Texas
is feasible because of the hides
supply and tremendous Saving in
freight costs to Texas manufactur
ing concerns.
