A method has been devised by which a shark skin can be split into three. The first split, after tanning, is strong and thick, and suitable for high grade, heavy shoes. The second furnishes leather suitable for second grade foot wear, and the third resembles suede and is used in making fancy articles. In addition to the shark’s skin, the fins, blood, teeth, flesh, and oil of the fish are also utilized commercially and yield a satisfactory profit.
