Competition Stimulates Quality 



Having stood the rigid 

 test of time and been pro- 

 nounced ideal. 



Perkins 



Vegetable 



Glue 



now gains still further dis- 

 tinction by being pro- 

 nounced by United States 

 District Court "meritori- 

 ous and valuable, and a 

 distinct advance in the art." 



The Perkins patents were 

 sustained in a decision by 

 the court. 



The Perkins Glue Com- 

 pany is the only company 

 that has made of vege- 

 table glue a perfect prod- 

 uct.

A buyer's market invariably results in quality com- 

 petition in manufaciured goods — for obvious reasons. 

 Quality competition without added quality to back it is disastrous — 

 requiring more ripid jjxiarantee of goods it means that the man not 

 able to improve his product here and there to approach perfection is 

 merely betting with himself on whether he will or will not have to 

 make good on stock which, to get the order, he guaranteed. 



Perkins Vegetable Veneer Glue 



In All Panel Work 



allows you to make any reasonable guarantee with impunity. It does away 

 entirely with blistered work, and can be shipped to any climate without fear 

 — thus vastly increasing the sales field. 



Perkins Vegetable Glue 



is guaranteed to be uniform, requires no hot, obnoxious glue room, will not 

 sour, costs 20 per cent less than hide glue. 



Use Perkins Glue and make your guarantee safe for you
