"The Cabinet Wood Superlative" 



Corners That Stay Square 



Chests and cabinets, tables and chairs — how satisfying it is to have their corners stay tight and square, 



their drawers continue to slide smoothly, their legs remain true and firm through the years. 



The corners and drawers and legs of WALNUT furniture have been doing these satisfying things 



for centuries. 



Our museums show multitudes of beautiful examples which have really improved with age. (The 



Walnut Brochure de luxe shows engravings of many of these. May we send il?) 



The cabinet maker worthy of the name cannot help but love AMERICAN WALNUT, that superlative 



cabinet-wood which has almost been the parent of his art and craftsmanship. 



So it is your good fortune that there is made every day in America FURNITURE of AMERICAN 



WALNUT which will carry the lesson of your discriminating taste "even unto the third and fourth 



generation." 



You are not forgetting that you want the pleasing Walnut 



Brochure? Are you? Just drop a line. {Now is the best.) 



AMERICAN WALNUT MANUFACTURERS' ASSOCIATION 



Room 1024, 616 South Michigan Boulevard, Chicago 



ALL BRANCHES OF THE FURNITURE TRADE 



are feeling strongly the Effects of Ihe series of tributes to our American Walnut which are running con- 

 tinuously in most of the Best Publications in America. Above is an example. 



THERE ARE STILL A FEW FURNITURE HOUSES IN THE COUNTRY 



who are giving their better-posted competitors a great advantage over them with the Best Trade. WHY? Simply because 

 they "heard somebody say" that American Walnut was getting scarce. Let them ask us for THE FACTS.' {See address above.} 



Comparison of Five Different Types of Glue 



It is expected that the users of glue will find the table 

 printed below very useful for ready reference. It com- 



pares in the briefest manner possible the cost per pound 

 of animal, casein, vegetable, blood and liquid glue, telling 

 also how each is mixed, how applied, temperature of 

 press, strength (in sheer test), water resistance and chief 

 uses in woodworking. The table was prepared by the 

 Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wis. It follows: 



Paper from Veneer Waste 



Wood waste from veneer is considered by the U. S. 

 Forest Products Laboratory as suitable material for the 

 manufacture of high grades of paper. The cores of many 

 kinds of veneer logs, now used in a large part for fuel, 

 would make excellent pulp wood. 



In addition, a large part of the clippings and small ve- 

 neer waste, which amount to one-fifth of the total veneer 

 cut, could probably be turned into pulp wood. 



Wooden Ship Is "Immortal" 



The "immortality" of wood is suggested by the old 

 British convict ship "Success," which recently put in at a 

 dry dock in Tampa, Fla., for some minor repairs. Built 

 in 1 790 at Moulmein in British India, as Kipling said — 

 "By the old Moulmein pagoda, looking eastward to the 

 sea" — the vessel is by many years the oldest ship afloat 

 today. The fact that it has survived the hazardous vicis- 

 situdes of a seafaring career of 1 30 years is attributed to 

 its massive construction of solid Burmese teak, a wood 

 that for resistance to decay has no equal in the world.
