Perkins Glue Fast Becoming the Standard 

 For All Veneer Work 



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

 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.
