HARDWOOD K i: C O K D 



,- The Glue That Is Applied Cold 



In Flush Veneered Doors 



The chief consideration is uniformly high- 

 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 stav in condition. The 



Use 



Of vegetable glue insures absolute uni- 

 formity because of the very nature of pre- 

 paring it and because every pound of our 

 raw material i? rigidlv inspected. 



Vegetable Glue 



Is also a rigid and permanent 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.

=-< NEW YORK >-= 



Trade In the metropolitan district remains quiet and uneventful. The 

 war scare has had its effect on the lumber business, Indirectly, wblcb, 

 coupled with the usual dull days of mid-summer, has produced an era of 

 quiet almost without parallel. The talk Is of better times to come, and 

 soon, too, so at this time we And In the face of dull trading a feeling of 

 real hope. Bulldlns flcnres show a fair amount of work In prospect for 

 the outlying sections, though locally the outlook Is not so good. The 

 opinion varies as to the amount of stocks at mill points but It Is safe 

 to say that there will be ample for Immediate demands, but a slight 

 advance In price would not be surprising. As usual at this season, local 

 hardwood yards are showing little activity. The wave of prosperity 

 now long overdue has had another setback, but all agree that It Is 

 coming.

The demand for hardwoods shows no Improvement, and with a general 

 war going on abroad dealers are not looking for mucb Immediate Im- 

 provement. Trade Is on a band-to-mouth basis and Is expected to remain 

 so for a time, or until matters are straightened out so that export sliip. 

 ments can be made. Inquiries have been fewer of late, and there Is not 

 much optimism as to the Immediate future, but for the long run deal, rs 

 are inclined to hopefulness, believing that eventually trade will pick up In 

 good shape. 



Prices of all hardwoods have been somewhat depressed by the dullness 

 in the market and tbere Is not mucb special call for any wood, though 

 thick oak is probably doing as v.-eli r.s anything. This wood Is one of 

 the necessities of wartime and It ought to feel the stimulus of new de- 

 mand before long. Flooring Is In fair demand for the season, hut 

 prices are soraev.hat depressed. 



=-< PHILADELPHIA >= 



The business situation nt tlil< lime mny l.e nilei|iiately ilescribed as a 

 "watchful waiting" all round, as no one feels competent to venture a 

 prophesy as to the outlook. Things generally are in a more or less chaotic 

 state. Tradesmen who have gained some experience from having passed 

 through minor wars are wisely accepting the situation abroad, and arc 

 stocking up all vacant corners with material at the prevailing low 

 prices. These merchants evidently will be the winners when the demand 

 is made for supplies. Prices naturally will advance augmented by a 

 probable car shortage. The hardwood market Is no exception to the 

 general suffering, as the export market will be obliged to wait for a 

 secure waterway ; in the meantime the stocks help to swell the unused 

 pile here, which will naturally depress values on such woods. 



Taking the situation as a whole, the mills are under good control and 

 the output will no doubt be regulated according to the demand. Oak 

 and quartered oak has been shaded some of late : a drop In chestnut dur- 

 ing the fortnight : cherry, maple and birch keep old friends ; heech has 

 made a leap of late: gum runs evenly: W.ick walnut is -trmii-'er: no 

 change In poplar ; mahogany and veneers In fair demand. 



.-<, BOSTON y- 



The past two weeks In the hardwood trade of this section has naturally 

 been uneventful. There seems to be no current changes In values or 

 volume. It Is perhaps an even more sanguine spirit which prevails than 

 might be expected. Dull business never attracts as mucb attention or is 

 iriven the signlDcance during this month that It othcrwl.se receives. The 

 shortage of money, the loss of export trade, the rate decision, the antl- 

 wood-using local legislation and the attitude of Congress toward business 

 have all had their effect in every line, but the reports of curtailment In 

 hardwood production, the high average of mill quotations and the certain 

 knowledge that many buyers hove postponed all purchasing to the last 

 limit of their stocks have all operated to keep hardwood prices on a 

 reasonably satisfactory basis. The few woods which have been sold 

 considerably under their former value, such as poplar (wide stock in
