Roden Leather Company
During World War 2, leather was in great demand. Most of it was being used by the military. Many veterans needed artificial arms and legs as well as braces to help them walk and function in life. Leather was a key component in these devices. Because my grandfather sold raw hides to the tanneries, he was able to buy some of it back in the form of leather. He began selling a small amount of leather to orthopedic brace shops around the state of Michigan.

After the war, my father continued his work as a social worker. My grandfather suggested to him that he might sell some leather on the side to make a little extra money. We got a small supply of leather in our basement.
