The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 85

Leather and Wood

Leather and Wood.

Close to these Mr. Earnshaw shows a well made side-saddle and gentleman's saddle, the former of colonial pigskin. The well-finished harness hanging up alongside was made in the workshop of Mr. W. H. Hosking, mainly by apprentices born and trained in the Colony, and is, therefore, a true local production. On the other side of the passage-way, and near the main entrance, are some admirably constructed wheels, in various stages of manufacture, from the carriage factories of Mr. A. Q. Howland and Messrs. Curlett and Freeman. Perhaps of moro interest to the numerous class known as "wheelmen" will be the strong and well-Onished bicycle, made by Mr. R. Kent, who may be congratulated on his plucky efforts to establish what may be considered a new industry among us.
