PETACH TIKVAH, (HP) —
Work begins in a new tannery
in Israel's oldest settlement,
Petach Tikvah, which this year
celebrates its '75th anniversary.
Formed by Jewish pioneers in
the new era of building in Pa-
lestine, this city has kept rapid
pace with world industrial im-
provements. The tannery, de-
veloped through the aid of Is-
rael. Bond investments, gives
the city a justified claim as one
of the Jewish state's leading in-
dustrial centers, while still re-
taining its role as an agricul-
tural community.
