To make your shoes waterproof To make your shoes soft and comfortable To make your shoes wear 3 times longer To keep the harness and saddle in good order

Use Viscol



Viscol makes the leather soft and pliable and also waterproof. Viscolized leather remains soft and pliable under continuous hard service, even when it is worn in salt water or in snow. Viscol is a solution of a rubber-like material which amalgamates with the leather substance and is not driven out of the leather by heat or by water, the way oils are. Its beneficial effect is lasting. Leather that is treated with Viscol wears several times as long as leather that has not been thus treated.

Viscol is sold by many of the Post Exchanges and by most shoe dealers. If you can not procure it at the nearest Post Exchange or from your shoe dealer, write to

VISCOL COMPANY East Cambridge Boston, Mass.

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE. =================== Irregularities within the original book have been preserved, notably: Part I has appendicies A, B and D. There is no Appendix C. Part I Chapter I contains plates II, III and VI. Plates I, IV and V are not present nor referenced. References to other paragraphs within the text mostly use the book paragraph number. However, there are some cases where the paragraph number relates to the source document paragraph number (in brackets at the end of the paragraph) these have been left as shown in the book. The link in the html version does, however, point to the intended paragraph. Spelling variants (e. g. reinforce vs reenforce) have been preserved. The 'pointing finger' picture has been transcribed as > in the text version. Brackets have been added as necessary to equations to aid clarity. For consistency, subheadings which originally appeared next to a paragraph number have been extracted out to the line above (i. e. they do not appear on the same line as the paragraph number in this transcription.) Affected paragraphs are: 817, 818, 826, 828-34, 836-47, 860, 862, 864-6, 1016-9, 1034-45, 1078, 1277, 1320, 1340-1, 1352-3, 1356, 1358-65, 1367-70, 1372, 1376, 1379-80, 1383.
