"First in War, First in Peace 

 And First in the Hearts of His Countrymen" 



GEORGE WASHINGTON was rather particular 

 in whatever concerned his personal use and 

 convenience. He despised shoddy. Whatever he 

 did have was the best, and nothing but the best. 



His famous writing cabinet, like that of Napoleon. 

 Jefferson, Webster, John Hancock and the noted 

 worthies of the past— wb,s built of plywood-veneer. 



And more than that: his desk still stands as staunch, 

 as true and as "four-square" as in the old days of the 

 Revolution. 



All plywood in our plant, after taiken 

 from hydraulic press, is placed in a 

 large room equipped with vacuum 

 fans, and the process of dr>'ing is 

 begun. After 24 to 4S hours, stock is 

 taken from presses, put on sticks of 

 uniform width and thickness, each 



stick placed one directly above 

 another, the entire package is put 

 in cin improved \3cuum kiln, under 

 heaNy pressure to hold the stock 

 flat and straight while drying and 

 then dried to a moisture content 

 not exceeding 5^- 



Recent research has proven that the best and finest 

 furniture construction of the Master Craftsmen of 

 every period has been built on the plyw^ood and 

 veneer principle. And it is so today. 



Here at New Albany is the largest and best equipped 

 plyw^ood -veneering plant in the world: our plant.
