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 — 



and veneered with rosewood. 



Not a blister on it. 



In the plant of the 

 New Alhany \^en- 

 eerin;^" Co., all face 

 veneers are sprayed 

 with hot water, 

 placed hetween su- 

 l)er-heated poplar 

 canl hoards, put un- 



der extreme pressure 

 and left for not less 

 than twent}'-foin" to 

 forty-eight hours. 

 This method of han- 

 dling- face veneer 

 leaves it dry, flat and 

 pliahle. 



Our plant has heen declaretl the most mod- 

 ern, the hest e(|uip])ed, and the hest arranged 

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