History
Quil Ceda Leather Co. was founded in 1932 by Mathias Jansha when he brought his skills as a tanner from his native home in Austria to America. He settled in Marysville, Washington and established Jansha Tanning, wholesale and retail business, that has continued in operation at the same location for over 60 years. In 1981 the business name was changed to Quil Ceda Leather Co. when a group of the most experienced staff of Jansha Tanning assumed ownership of the business. Today, the owners have more than 80 years of experience in leather tanning and production of leather products.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Certainly there is not the fight recorded in Concord history, at least, if in the history of America, that will bear a moment’s comparison with this, whether for the numbers engaged in it, or for the patriotism and heroism displayed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
