A.B. Bonds inquired about  a source for white hinge (?) leather a
few digests ago.   I  tried unsuccessfully to  reply privately to
his Email address.  So her  it goes publicly in  the hope that he
will see it.

The Leather Supply House, 412  W. Marion Street, Soujth Bend,  IN
46601  (phone 219-234-8990) stocks various kinds  of hard-to-find
leather and will send you  a nice sample sheet with 20 samples of
its wares.  Marilyn, the woman who runs it, offers zephir skin in
3 weights, German  tan  pouch leather  in  3 weights, cowhide for
bellows, also kangaroo (excellent for  band organ pumps but  hard
to  get), deerskin, cabretta, goat, packing and  gusset leathers,
hair sheep--it looks like  the  works  in chrome-tanned leathers.
She ships within 24 hours on  open account and  has  an answering
machine for 24-hour a day service.

[ Editor's Note:  This is good general information.  I'm happy
[ for it to be out where everyone can see it.  I haven't received
[ any bounces recently for digests sent to A.B.Bond's account so
[ I can't comment on what went wrong.
