HARDWOOD RECORD 



r The Glue That Is Applied Cold -j 



In Flush Veneered Doors 



The chief consideration is uniformly high- 

 grade glue. Manufacturers of this modern 

 type of door reaHze that its development 

 has been retarded because the unavoid- 

 able lack of uniformity in other types of 

 glue makes it impossible to know how^ 

 long a door will stay in condition. The 



Use 



Of vegetable glue insures absolute uni- 

 formity because of the very nature of pre- 

 paring it and because every pound of our 

 raw material is rigidly inspected. 



Vegetable Glue 



Is also a rigid and permanent adherent; 

 will not blister in sanding; has no dis- 

 agreeable odor; will not deteriorate in 

 standing — for a week if necessary; and 

 can be applied cold without any heating 

 application of any kind in the glue room. 

 In addition, the average saving over 

 former glue bills has been twenty per cent 

 where vegetable glue is used.

The Nashville Tie Company of Nashville. Harris Tie Company of Erin, 

 Tenn., and Ohio Valley Tie Company of Louisville have filed complaints 

 with the Interstate Commerce Commission against the Louisville & Nash- 

 ville railroad, seeking to secure a suspension of an increase of from one 

 to two cents per 100 pounds in the rate on crossties from middle and 

 west Tennessee. The tie business handled by complainants consists of 

 ties made largely of waste timber, and the ties are treated chemically 

 with preservatives to make them durable. Complainants have built up 

 a large tie business in this section, handling several millions of ties 

 annually. The railroad has recently built a treating plant at Guthrie, 

 Ky., and it is claimed by petitioners that its opposition to the removal of 

 crossties from the territory of its line is the cause of raising the rates. 

 Petitioners state that but for the business developed by them their use 

 would be practically lost, as they take what is left after the choice logs 

 have been removed for other purposes. 



The city of Nashville has filed a complaint with the Interstate Com- 

 merce Commission seeking to secure reasonable reciprocal switching

 under present conditions it is better to sell at home than to ship to 

 other countries on consignment.
