Our children shall tell of the strife begun
When Liberty's second April sun

celebrated Prepared Glue and it is estimated
that each bottle saves at least ten dollars worth
of broken furniture, thus making an aggregate
of twenty millions ofdollars reclaimed from to-

made his Glue a household word, he now pro.
poses to do the world still greater service by

and if they are as good as his Glue, Head
