NAPOLEON KNEW 



A THING OR TWO 



/^VER in France, at Malmaison, they will still 

 ^^^ show you a remarkable collapsible cabinet or 

 writing desk made for Napoleon himself, on his 

 own specifications, and used by him on the most 

 famous battle fields of Europe. 



Veterans of the Old Guard called it the "bureau 

 de campagne," and for years it withstood the hard- 

 est kind of punishment on the march over the 

 worst roads imaginable— and in battle. 



It is still intact, still in perfect 

 condition. 



It is built of plywood, sides, front, 

 tops and back — 

 J^^^^and veneered with rosewood. 

 Not a blister on it. 



In the plant of the 

 New Albany Ven- 

 eering Co., all face 

 veneers are sprayed 

 with hot water, 

 placed between su- 

 per-heated poplar 

 caul boards, put un- 



der extreme pressure 

 and left for not less 

 than twenty-four to 

 forty-eight hours. 

 This method of han- 

 dling face veneer 

 leaves it dry, flat and 

 pliable. 



Our plant has been declared the most mod- 

 ern, the best equipped, and the best arranged 

 institution of its kind in the country; and it is.
