List,

Attached is an article from the Binhamton Press of January 15, 1925 concerning a new type of fiber flooring made from leather by-products. The Leather Utilization Company of Johnson City was trying to sell the Erie on the product. The Erie tested it in boxcar 112,214. It has many desirable qualities (fire-proof, slip-proof, long-lasting, etc.). Of course the results aren't noted, but is anyone familiar with this type of flooring, and was it ever employed in Erie boxcars.
