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)
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“He wrote in prison, not a History of the World, like Raleigh, but an American book which I think will live longer than that. I do not know of such words, uttered under such circumstances, and so copiously withal, in Roman or English or any history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
