Perkins Glue Fast Becoming the Standard 

 For All Veneer Work 



Manufacturers who use glue for veneer laying and built-up panel work are 

 rapidly realizing the advantages of a glue that does away with the hot, 

 bad-smelling glue room necessary with hide glue and are adopting the modem 

 and efficient 



Perkins Vegetable Veneer Glue 



because it does away with the cooking 

 process, being applied cold. It is equally 

 as efficient as hide glue and at a saving of 

 no less than 20 per cent over hide glue 

 costs. It gives off no bad odor and may 

 be left open a number of days without 

 souring or in any way affecting its ad- 

 hesive qualities. 



Every shipment is absolutely uniform. 



The use of Perkins Glue does away 



with blistered work and is affected in no 

 way by climatic changes, thus increasing 

 the advantages of manufacturers, who 

 must ship their goods to hot, cold or damp 

 climates. 



Unsolicited testimonials from hundreds 

 in all glue using lines praise its efficiency 

 and economical application.

 of Warren, O., which was destroyed by Are recently, for the rebuilding

R. W. Horton of the W. M. Ritter Lumber Company reports a better 

 demand for hardwoods in central Ohio territory. Building operations 

 are rather active, not only in the larger cities but In the smaller cities 

 and towns. Some factories are buying stocks also. Prices are well

E. T. Hagemeyer, a cousin of Bartlett Hagemeyer, connected with the 

 Tennessee Lumher and Coal Company, with offices in Cincinnati, recently 

 was wedded to Miss Merle James of Cincinnati. Mr. Hagemeyer is with 

 the Baldwin Piano Company of this city. 



Richey, Haistcd & Quick, whose offices present a scene of unusual activity 

 at this time, thus confirming the general expression of opinion that a 

 marked revival in the market now is on hand, report an insistent demand 

 for plain oak, but the call seeming to be practically confined to the whole- 

 saler. 



W. Kimball of Kimball & Kopcke, Knoxville, Tenn., was a visitor in 

 Cincinnati during the week and attended the meeting and annual election 

 of the Cincinnati Lumljermen's Club Monday evening.

 yards. 



W. J. Eckman of the M. B. Farriii Lumber Company recently returned 

 from an extended tour of the West, visiting practically all the chief cities 



in the Rocky Mountain states and along the coast. While giving signs of a 

 gradual improvement, Mr. Eckman asserts that buSness in the far West, 

 as far as the lumber market is concerned, is far from being in a satisfactory 

 condition. 



The many friends of Fred W. Mowbray are relieved to learn that his 

 condition is not as serious as was at first feared. Mr. Mowbray of the 

 Mowbray & Robinson Company last Saturday suddenly was taken with 

 acute pains in his side and after a brief consultation with the doctor was 

 ordered to the Bethesda hospital for an immediate operation. Mr. Mow- 

 bray's condition at first was quite alarming to his friends, but his consti- 

 tution stood him in good stead and latest reports from the bedside were to 

 the effect that he had passed the danger stage and was recovering rapidly. 

 Mr. Mowbray, who is forty-three years old, enjoys the reputation of being 

 one of the best known lumbermen in Cincinnati, besides ranking probably 

 at the head of Cincinnati successful businessmen, his concentration to busi- 

 ness causing his company to rise from a modest affair to one of the most 

 substantial business houses in the Queen City.
