A Gluey Acorn

Some of you will remember Niel Comegys. Niel pushed Celotex and then Thermax with a slide rule, norv he is pushing the Acorn but he has given up his slide rule, it's a glue brush now.

Back in '45 when the Thermax plant closed, Niel organized the Acorn Adhesives & Supply Company in Los Angeles, with the idea that there are reliable adhesives that would do a good job and save a lot of work for somebody. Acorn now has over one hundred adhesive materials for industry and builders. These include cement for acoustical tile, wall board cement, tile-board and clay tile cement, rubber cement, boiltest wood glues, resin glues and glues and adhesives for almost every purpose. The most widely known to lumbermen is Wilhold White Glue. Yes, that is the one with the Acorns on the label.

Wilhold Glue is no ordinary material. It makes a nice shelf package with its blue and gold label on a clear glass jar showing the snow whiteness of the glue itself. As the glue dries the film becomes colorless, so colorless that well-matched joints of redwood, mahogany, walnut, pine and any other wood are invisible and Wilhold Glue remains colorless in spite of time and sunlight.

Wilhold Glue is popular with the cash customer because 'it is ready to use and is quick to set. Cabinet shops find they can remove the clamps in less than thirty minutes and run their work through a shaper without further waiting.

Sales of the glue have increased so rapidly that it is now clistributed by more than a dozen wholesalers covering the West Coast from Washington to Texas.

Comegys says, that if you want to get stuck we will Io our best to stick vou.

The Crime of Murder

(Ed Kilman, Editor of The Houston Post, is a great hand at digging up interesting tales of the old days in Texas. One Sunday recently he printed the following concerning an alleged event that took place during the wild oil boom in Ranger.)

One Saturday night at a dance hall in Ranger a man knifed another man to death. The killer was lodged in the county jail. In the rush and bustle of the times nobody took the trouble to file a charge against him.

After three days the prisoner's lawyer told Judge Flewellen that his client was being held without any accusation, and asked that he be released. Flewellen investigated and found that the deceased started the row. and that if the prisoner was ever tried in district court h'e would doubtless be acquitted.

But, after all, the man had been living off the city and wearing out its iail for three days, so Ranger had some claim against him. Flewellen had the prisoner brought before him, and solemnly told him: "You can't come into our peaceful little city (Ranger had 30,000 people and six killings a week), and strike down one of our respected citizens (the slain man was a professional gambler) and not expect to feel the stern hand of the law. I fine you $75 for murder. And I want this to be a lesson to you. I advise you to catch the next train out of town and let your first stop be Shanghai. If you ever kill another one of our citizens I will give you the full limit of the law$200 and costs. Mr. Clerk. call the next case."

Superstitious

A wealthy society lady had just engaged a new maid and was instructing her in the duties of waiting on table.

"At dinner, Mary." said the lady, "you must always serve from the left and take the plates off from the right. Is that clear?"

"Whatsa matter, Mam?" asked the girl. "Superstitious or something?"

A Precrcher's Cuss

They had made up a golf foursome for the visiting preacher who had expressed his liking for the game. The preacher got up on the first tee, took a mighty swing, and missed the ball completely. He looked awfully embarrassed, and exclaimed:

"Oh, Muscle Shoals !"

The others considered the remark.. and one of them asked:

"What does that mean?"

"Muscle Shoals," replied the preacher, "is the biggest dam on earth."

Scrme Sound

Two screwballs stood at the street corner talking. One of them took out his watch and looked at it, and said to his friend:

"My watch has stopped. What does yours say?"

And the other screwball answered:

"Same old thing . tick, tick, tick, tick."

Lord Keep Me Busy

Lord, keep me working, keep me fit, At windows f don't want to sit, Let me stay busy til I die. Grant me the strength and breath and will, Some useful niche in life to fill, A need to serve, a task to do, Let me each morning rise anew Eager and glad that I can bear My portion of the morning's care.

Lord, f dgn't want to sit about, Broken and tired and all worn out. Afraid of wind and rain and cold, Let me stay busy when I'm old. Although I walk at slower pace, Still let me meet life face to face. Let me a garden plant and sow, Set phlox and peony row on row; Hew wood for winter's cozy fire, And at some useful labor tire. This my prayer; as time goes by, Lord, keep me busy til I die.

Come Then

I do not want you when your name

From lip to lip is proudly rolled, I do not want you when your fame Has brought you gold.

But when you fight and strive and press And no one reads the songs you pen, And life is full of loneliness

Come then.

Man wants but little here below. He's ready to admit it, If Uncle Sam keeps taxing him, He's pretty sure to get it.
