MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION REPORT
Activities of Merchants' Association Set Forth
Interestingly in the Year Book
You will regret it later if you do not
take our advice now and look into this
matter of adopting the use of Behlen's
Varnish Crack Eradicator for your re-
finishing jobs.
Where time and price is a factor the
man who uses Behlen's Varnish Crack
Eradicator always wins out because he
eliminates the time and trouble of scrap-
ing off the old varnish and shellac.
The Merchants' Association of New York has just
issued its Year Book for 1919, a comprehensive vol-
ume which sets forth most interestingly the wide-
spread activities of that organization in the interests
of New York City and its commerce.
The reports of the various officers of the Associa-
tion are particularly comprehensive and go far to
set forth the work of the Association, much of
which is little known to the general public. The va-
rious members of the Association are carefully
grouped and classified, and there is much general
information offered for the benefit of business men
in all sections of the United States and in foreign
countries, among whom the Year Book circulates.
And when you're satisfied
that we've the best punch-
ings on the market, cut
clean and accurately from
the best of material in cellu-
loid, cloth, felt, fibre,
leather, paper, rubber or
whatever you want, give
us credit and send your
