Hides Skins and the Manufacture of Leather: A Layman's View of the Industry. E-book. Formato PDF James Paul Warburg   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

The remarkable feature of the industry, even now, remains the fact that it rests primarily on an empirical basis, far more so than any other of our primary industries. While it is probably true that medi cinal herbs constituted the first chemical discovery of man, it may well be claimed that industrial chemistry, to which our present civilization owes so many of its material adjuncts, originated in the preservation of animal Skins. Besides the usage of leather for boot soles and uppers, there are an infinite number of purposes to which it has been adapted, some of which it will be impossible to treat here in even a cursory manner. It is not intended by these omissions in any way to belittle the im portance Of the subjects which the author has felt to lie beyond the scope of this pamphlet. Furthermore, in order to avoid duplication, the arbitrary expedient has been adopted of discussing in Part Two only the vegetable tannage of sole leather, and in Part Three only the chrome process for making upper boot leather. In this manner each method of tanning is taken up in detail in the field where it finds its greatest application, but it must not be inferred by the lay reader that sole leather is never chromed, or that no upper leather is made by the vegetable processes. While this fact is brought out later on, it cannot be too strongly emphasized at the outset. To attempt a discussion of the entire industry within SO brief a space is at best a precarious undertaking. For purposes of simplification the subject has been divided into four groups: 1. The Raw Material; that is, hides and skins, what they are, where they come from, how they are Obtained, and their imperfections; also the materials by means of which they are made into leather. 2. The Manufacture of Sole and other Heavy Leather. 3. The Manufacture of Boot Upper, Glove, Book, and other Light Leather. 4. The Economic Distribution of the Industry.

The Federal Reserve System and the Banks. E-book. Formato PDF Paul M. Warburg   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

The more important this market grows, the stronger will be the position of the Federal Reserve Banks, for the greater or lesser volume of purchases of such accept ances will Offer one of the Federal Reserve Banks' most efiective means of exercising a wholesome in?uence upon the ?uctuation of interest rates. As normal conditions are reestablished in the world, this acceptance market will become an important factor in protecting our ex change position with foreign countries and, incidentally, our gold holdings. It has taken some time to develop this market, but I am confident that, from now on, its growth will be rapid. One of the obstacles that made the start difficult was found in the fact that many accept auces, which are made for the purpose of financing im portations and exportations, have to be drawn and sold in foreign countries.

Warburgerne - en slægtssaga. E-book. Formato EPUB Bent Warburg   -  Books On Demand, 2014  - 

I byen Warburg i Westphalen i Tyskland, svøber en jøde ved navn Aron sin kappe tættere om sig og begynder at tale. Han har to tilhørere som begge betragter ham alvorligt. Hans ord er lavmælte men klare: "Så sandt som jeg er Rabbi i denne stad, og så sandt som I er af Cohn-slægten og efterkommere af Aron den første, så lover I mig, at I aldrig glemmer hverken Gud eller Kejseren, thi de er begge nidkære. Glem heller aldrig jeres udspring, thi et træ med svage rødder fældes let i storm!" I bogens første del afdækkes en række sælsomme skæbner, på én gang enkle og komplicerede, hvor vi bl.a. møder den rastløse soldat Friderich Ferdinand von Warburg, den rejsende skuespillerinde Caroline Elise Warburg, og den hårde slagter og drukkenbolt Aage Christian Ludvig Arnholtz Warburg. Bogens anden del kaster lys over forfatterens eget liv og arbejde. Den billedrige tekst præsenterer Bent Warburgs karriere som musiker, sanger og skuespiller, hvor han bl.a. arbejder på de danske teatre, turnerer med et par danseorkestre i Finland, sejler som musiker på MS Gripsholm, synger med Danmarks Radios Big Band og Ib Glindemanns orkester, indsynger plader, komponerer musik, skriver tekster og medvirker i en lang række danske film.
