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.

=•< EVANSVILLE >■= 



Victor 1". Worland, formerly ol Louisville, Ky., for many years engaged 

 as a teacher, has accepted a position with the Evansville Veneer Company, 

 under his brother, George O. Worland, the secretary-treasurer and general 

 manager of the company. He has "buckled down" to his new job and, to

A few days ago, at his home at Aurora, Ind., occurred the sudden death

Mertice E. Taylor, secretary of the Evansville Lumbermen's Club, has 

 written to Mr. Goodwin, general freight agent of the Louisville & Nashville 

 Railroad Company at Louisville, Ky., asking him to give a decision in the 

 milling-in-transit question. For several months past this question has 

 been hanging Are and JIaley & Wertz and other hardwood lumber manu- 

 facturers in Evansville and vicinity are anxious to have a settlement. 

 Under the present tariff in force on the Louisville & Nashville railroad, 

 the hardwood lumber manufacturers here pay a certain rate on logs that 

 are brought in over the railroad and then if the lumber that is manufac- 

 tured from these logs is shipped out over the lines of the Louisville & 

 Nashville within one year after the logs are received, a certaiu rebate is 

 given. The manufacturers say the time limit is too short and they wanted 

 it extended from one year to two years. Secretary Taylor hopes to have 

 the question disposed of by the time of the next regular meeting of the club 

 on the second Tuesday night in September.
