"We always felt there was a right way and a wrong way to make fine leather. It takes us six months to make a

President, 1949 - 1983

"As tanneries go we're not the biggest, the fastest or the cheapest, which means we need to be the best. Our
business is built on doing things other people don't, won't or can't."Arnold Horween Jr.
