FOR YOU
Are you still wasting your time and go-
ing to the expense of scraping off old
varnish and shellac to eliminate the
checks and cracks in order to secure a
smooth surface for refinishing?
Use Behlen's Varnish Crack Eradica-
tor.
It saves time, trouble and incidentally
expense, at the same time giving you as
fine a body surface for the new finish
as you could possibly wish for.
A sample can for trial awaits your
request.

in Toronto. The two Chicago representatives
are Joseph A. Vogt and F. R. Michaels, who
cover the Middle Western trade as well.
All of these men, as well as forty-two other
members of the Hammacher, Schlemmer & Co.,
have been with the organization for ten years
at least. Constant association has developed a
genuine spirit of co-operation which permeates
the entire establishment. There is no class dis-
tinction. The executives and William F.
Schlemmer, present head of the company, are
always reachable. Their desks are all alongside
of one another among .the many other desks
in the wide open floor space. William F.
Schlemmer, son of the founder, William Schlem-
mei, started at the bottom of the business ladder
when fifteen years old and in 1914 was made
president, having passed through every depart-
ment of the concern. Two years later he was
appointed treasurer.
Four large buildings, centrally located, are
utilized by the firm for its stock, supplies and
executive space. The main building is on Fourth
avenue at Thirteenth street, New York, with
an annex on the latter street. Also there are
the two warehouses on Twelfth street.
