Finally, add two and a half ounces of alcohol, and, after the whole is cooled, three ounces of fine Frankfort 1)lack. The dressing is thinly applied to the leather with a soft brush and after it is dried it is rubbed with a piece of fine pumice stone and polished with a stiff brush.--Badisehe Gewerbe-Zeitung.
