Recto: John Brown's tannery, built 1826; Verso: Post card, This space for correspondence, Copyright, 1909, by National Tribune, Washington, D.C. For 20 years John Brown carried on the tanning business, a trade which he had learned from his father, and was fairly successful in it, but lost all his money in bad land speculations.
