In Flush Veneered Doors 



The chiei cuiisideration is uniloinily higli- 

 grade glue. Manufacturers of this modern 

 type of door realize that its development 

 has been retarded because the unavoid- 

 able lack of uniformity in other types of 

 glue makes it impossible to know how 

 long a door will stay in condition. The 



Use 



Of vegetable glue insures absolute uni- 

 formity because of the very nature of pre- 

 paring it and because every pound oi our 

 raw material is rigidly inspected. 



Vegetable Glue 



Is also a rigid and perinanciu adherent; 

 will not blister in sanding; has no dis- 

 agreeable odor; will not deteriorate in 

 standing — for a week if necessary; and 

 can be applied cold without any heating 

 application of any kind in the glue room. 

 In addition, the average saving over 

 former glue bills has been twenty per cent 

 where vegetable glue is used.

If It were not for the K.uropean war scare, th.' "lioys" would feel 

 pietly good. Kuslness is better. More inquiries are coming In and 

 liuyers seem more disposed to contract ahead for lumber. This, how- 

 ever. Is limited at present. -More business Is being done with the steel 

 .'oncerns which Is helping the hardwood trade considerable. The furnl- 

 lure conciTus are not buying to any extent. The automobile people are 

 waiting. Retailers In general nre buying In mixed car load lots, which 

 (loos not afford a very profitable biislne.«s. Pclces arc hard to get up 

 and quotations, as a rule, nniiiiii nt ili. I.vel of one month ago. 



-< BOSTON >.-- 



The market for Imidwoods in .New i;n.;land Is consistently strong, tnklng 

 into consideration the midsummer season, the dull conditions of the general 

 liusiness, the local railroad situation, and the depressing influence of the 

 ICuropean situation. Of course, the latter cause has not hnd time for Its 

 full results and it Is problematical liow serious Its effect will be on this 

 trade. While buying Is comparatively light, there Is evidence that many of 

 the usual purcbaslnu' factors for fall business are out to buy stock as usual. 

 In fact, there was an npi)arcnt opinion among both buyers and sellers that 

 I be fall and winter would be probably better than last winter's trad.. 

 Whether this encouraging turn will withstand the loss of foreign trade is 

 uncertain. 



.\s the time nears for the steady Influx of Pacific woods via the Panama 

 .anal, the dealers are much concerned to see what stocks may be displaced. 

 .\s a number of woo<Is are already in oversupply, principally the medium- 

 priced linlsh stock, sucli as poplar, gum, cypress, etc., there may be n 

 radical change in their values if the price or popular opinion start a very 

 general usage of the Pacific stock. The values of plain oak may be said 

 to still hold, nlthouch it takes a very fine character of stock to bring the 

 prices prevailing some months ago. Quartered oak is more stable and 

 seems to be causing no uneasiness. Beech is selling as high or higher than 

 it ever has, while maple and birch arc fairly strong. There is the usual 

 quiet demand for cherry and sycamore, and the returning favor of black 

 walnut Is showing itself in a reasonable call for It. althoueh the supply 

 «eems to be greater than it has been for som.- time.
