A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE GLIDDEN COMPANY The size and variety of enterprises of The Glidden Company interest many of our employees. This brief history will .help you to answer their questions. The name is derived from l`'rancis K. Glidden, who started a varnish business in Cleveland just after the close of tlie Civil War. In 1883 he took in his three sons and incorporated The Glidden Varnish Company with a capi talization of $100,000. From the outset considerable atten tion was given to laboratory and experimental work. Glidden first combined color with varnish to make a varnish stain, which was introduced in 1898 us Jap-A-l.ac. in 1903 the first four-color advertising to appear in any magazine carried the story of Jap-A-Lac. This progressive policy, coupled with the exacting atten tion paid to the establishment and maintenance of highest quality standards was responsible for the rapid expansion of facilities to take care of the increasing demands of new customers. In 1917 Air. Glidden sold the entire1 assets of his com pany to The Glidden Company, a new corporation founded by Air. Adrian 1). Joyce, and his associates, of whom Air. It. II. Horsburgh still continues in active collaboration. From that time forward the company has grown, some times in spectacular manner. 'The acquisition of sources of raw materials accounts for part of this growth; the sheer soundness of Glidden management policies accounts for the balunce. JJrnlan 2b, $oijce FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT Emerson's remark, "An institution is the lengthened shadow of one mail," never was better illustrated than here. Great as the "lengthened shadow" now is, it still is lengthening because of the irrepressible, dynamic, driving force of this great man. "The Chief" is never truly happy except when adding to or building on this ever-expanding organization. Once designated by a national magazine as "One of the nation's three greatest salesmen," lie lias grown into one of the country's biggest industrial leaders. Whether flying over the Amies, or searching through tropical jungles for oil-bearing seeds, or galloping beadlong over his farm on his "full-handful" of horse, lie never wavers in his course and he always knows exactly where he is hound. A man of almost instant decision, his actions are never ruthless, but stem from a true sense of what is fair. Even so, he still is a push-over for Iris twelve grand-children. Rolerl Jd. JJorsimql r EXECUTIVE VICE-PRESIDENT If "it. II .," as lie is referral to by everyone around headquarters, hail entered the Army instead of business he would he a full General by now, completely the master of logistics, and known throughout the runks as "Hurd Ilitt.iu' Ilomcr." Possessed of an uncanny ability to look around corners, his mastery of the Company's affairs does not stop at knowing wlint the figures say, but extends to why they say it. Of powerful physique and unbounded energy, he lias been associated with Mr. Joyce for the past forty-four years, quietly but effectively organizing, co-ordinating and consolidating each new unit into a smooth fitting part of the whole. Strangers might regard Ids keen ability to see directly through to the heart of a problem ns an indication of his "toughness,"but his door always is open and his sound, friendly advice and counsel is available ulike to the office janitor or visiting managers. Stop in and see him sometime. 11Richard / cjC.eveenntluiagen VICE-PRESIDENT Here is a man who has learned the art of graceful living. We never have inquired into his formal education, but he apparently knows every thing about everything. As a mere stripling be was a man of considerable stature in the paint industry and now lie is a national authority in the food industry. A superb salesman, lie also is the directing genius of our purchasing department. Ilis industry, persistence and capacity for getting things done without fuss, enable him to carry a tremendous load of work without disturbing in the least bis charming equanimity. It is rumored that in years gone by be occasionally expressed mild impatience with certain imperfections in the organization, but one never would suspect this now. His polished urbanity and genial outlook on life make working with him a distinct pleasure and privilege for nil of his associates. GLD31338 iiiiam l O'Eric. VICE-PRESIDENT An Irishman, horn in New York City, educated at Cornell University, with a splendid background of experience in the direction of research for the Government and for private industry, he has been conspicuous in the development of Tiie Chemical & Pigment Division mid the Soya Division. A Chemist who figures inmillions of gallons and thousands of tons, he now is in charge of manufacturing and research for the company. He has succeeded in equipping our laboratories and organizing a staff of experts capable of insuring our continued-excellence in each field of our operations. His insatiable curiosity and ability to think through ponder-ous problems arc bywords in the industry and great new developments may be expected from his department. I 2)wiglit f~^. ^og ce VICE-PRESIDENT When liis schoolmates were spending their summer vacations in camps or other recreational pursuits, he was working in the Cleveland plant learn ing the paint business the hard way. A champion swimmer and Captain of his swimming team (his oldest son has now duplicated his record), lie is a born leader. He helped to organize the Civil Air l'atrol in Ohio and as its Captain has flown rescue missions in weather that grounded all other services. In 1935 he was put in charge of the paint division, where he has found ready U6c and unlimited opportunities to put into practice the lessons learned in the tough school of experience. The sales and production records piled up by the paint division during the past five years attest to the power of the organization he has developed. f-^aui Sprague VICE-PRESIDENT After one year in our Cleveland laboratory he forgot his liinsters degree in Chemical Engineering and dug into the sales division. With time out to secure a commission in the Chemical Warfare Service in World War I, he has climbed upward through Kitstern Industrial Sales, Euston I,end, and Metals Refining to his present position as a VicePresident of 'I'iie Gliddcn Company in charge of sales of Euston Lead, Metals Refining, Chemical & Pigment Division and The Soya Division. A firm believer in the twelve-hour day, he keeps his staff of assistants and secretaries swamped most of the time. His services as a consultant are in such demand that at the present time he is a member of, or advisor to, seven industry committees. He is an authority on Mexican truvcl and a better than average amateur photographer. GLD31339 _v_ THE GLIDDEN COMPANY (%Uue(and. O&ta The headquarters' plant is the largest factory in the world designed for use exclusively in the manufacture of paints, varnishes and lacquers. Here thirteen acres of ground are used in the production of a complete line of finishes for industrial use and trade sales. This is a gravity plant, vehicles being pumped and stored on the fourth floor und mixing being done on the third floor. Grinding is done on the second floor, filling for ship ment on the first floor and filling for stock in the basement. A completely equipped laboratory, staffed by more than thirty chemists, is devoted to the formulation of finishes for individual customers and the development of improved items for sides to the trade. THE GLIDDEN COMPANY ^etuUnp, 'PtKHAylcmM&i The A. Wilhelm Company division produces a full line of railroad, industrial and trade sales paints und varnishes. It is also the country's important producer of dry colors . for all uses, including paints, linoleum, bill poster inks, etc. It furnishes the Bureau of Engraving and Printing with colors used in the printing of paper money; practically all the money in the United States is printed with our ink. The plant is mnde up of twenty-eight buildings which cover a total of twenty acres, and is the largest producer of syndicate store mutcriuls in the world. THE GLIDDEN COMPANY OnUtutA. -da. Located on the banks of the Mississippi, The American Paint Works has been formulating finishes especially adapted for use under southern climatic conditions for more than a half century. A full line of paints and var nishes for railroad, industrial and trade sales use is pro duced here. The art of the Creole iron workers has been preserved for posterity through the use of these finishes, and while this division is deeply rooted in the rich tradition of the old South, its sales policies and manufacturing processes keep well in step with today. GLD3I340 THE GLIDDEN COMPANY St, j mU4.. %<>. The Campbell I'aint & Varnish Company division for e more tlnin sixty years 1ms been uii intimate jmrt of the history of Ht. Louis. Overlooking the Mississippi iirnl situated near the land ing place of the la-wis St Clark Expedition, this plant has acquired the dignity of age and wisdom of rich experience, retaining all the while the enthusiasm of its youthful local management. When the local shipyards were commissioned to make ocean-going boats, the formulation of salt water finishes was handled as just another part of the daily routine. Without the interrelation of Gtidden Research and experi ence, many months of valuable time would have been lost in acquiring the knowledge theretofore never needed so far inland. A full line of paints is produced here and this division dominates the field in this whole trading area. THE GLIDDEN COMPANY r With the T. 1,, Blood Company and the Twin City Var nish Company we complete the blanketing of the Missis sippi Valiev. With the refreshing candor typical of the region, this organization describes itself as the "Biggest and Best in the Great Northwest." These companies originally were located in St. Paul, lmt were consolidated and moved into this plant in 1929. This organization bus developed the manufacture of food can lacquer to a fine art, and in a country where putty is really important, they have developed an outstanding product. A complete line is .produced here, with railway and marine business leading the rapidly developing industrial group. THE GLIDDEN COMPANY NUBIAN PAINT & VARNISH DIVISION (Z&iocupa, 'Phis division produces industrial finishes exclusively. Here was developed Xubelite, now used on most of Amer ica's stoves and ranges and accepted by the stove industry as its standard white finish. Tlie reputation of this division for creating special fin ishes 1ms led to its doors literally thousands of manufac turers seeking assistance in their finish problems. They produce finishes for bassinets and also the extra fine quality finish for tile most expensive caskets, thereby covering the entire field of finish .coatings from the cradle to the grave. Located here are the synthetic resin plant, which pro duces a complete line of resins for use throughout the entire paint division, and the extensive research laboratories where a staff of experts is engaged constantly in develop ing new products and improving the old ones. THE GLIDDEN COMPANY 6 Ont.. 0et*uuCei. TJii1 Canadian division produces a complete line of paints, varnishes, lacquers and enamels. Its plant is modern and up-to-date in every respect and is manned hy'workcrs of the highest skill and experience. This was the first plant to get actively into war work and the ingenuity of the management in surmounting the prob lems attendant to operating under war economy lias in spired the admiration of the entire organization. THE GLIDDEN COMPANY Stt* r?%<XHCi&co. &eUiyi Our Pacific outpost jumped into the war at its beginning and has done a remarkable job in producing thinner, lac quer and camouflage paint. In September, 1942, this plant received the largest indi vidual thinner order taken on the Pacific coast. This order was handled so expeditiously that it has been followed by others. In its own laboratory this plant developed a cam ouflage lacquer of exceptional merit. They challenge any other division to equal their record of production of defense business per man-hour employed. They also produce a full line'of industrial and trade sales paints, varnishes and lacquers, with distribution facil ities covering the Pacific Coast and the Great Northwest. THE GLIDDEN COMPANY 'Phis plant handles much of the service work for the Pacific coast organization, especially that pertaining to naval aviation. Much help is given also in the development of the special protective coatings used at the llusic Magnesium plant at Las \ egas, Nevada, and the Henry Kaiser Pontunn Steel Mills, Fontana, California. A small group of highly trained employees keeps this plant running at top speed. GLD3134? THE GLIDDEN COMPANY ADAMS & EITING DIVISION Tliis division originally was the Heath & Milligan Com pany, the originators of ready-mixed paint known then as "Patent Paint." They also originated and patented paint and varnish remover, receiving royalties from every other company manufacturing paint remover. They also origi nated dry stains soluble in alcohol, turpentine and water, and lead the field in the production of penetrating Wood dies and oil wood stains. Adams & Kiting's stains are widely used by furniture manufacturers, and Hygienic Kalsomine, also originated here, is one of the most popular kalsomiues on the Ameri can market. DURKEE FAMOUS FOODS Slat** s4vc*ue. (tylctupo, *JU, Here in 1920 'The Glidden Company entered the food business. It was started under the name of The Glidden Nut Hotter Company, hater when the properties of Durkee Humous Foods were acquired, the Durkee name was adopted here. This plant now boasts the finest and most modern equipment, including a hydrogen gas plant, and produces a complete'line of refined and hydrogenated vegetable oils, hard butter, and shortening. A completely equipped bakery laboratory is maintained for tlie development of new products and for the benefit of the baking trade generally. This, with the exact laboratory control maintained at all times for the cheeking of manu facturing processes, gives the production of this plant the highest reputation for quality. DURKEE FAMOUS FOODS `PortUeHtd. This plant was built in 1921 and equipped for the crush ing of copra, the dried meat of: the coconut. The main sources of the United States' supply of copra are the South Sea Islands and the Philippine Islands, now so prominently in the news. Steamers from the Orient bring their cargoes in bulk to our dock, where it is unloaded by great air suction pipes. One such steamer was due to land the week after the Pearl Harbor invasion and was unheard of for weeks, finally turning up at a remote port' in Australia. Mouths later it steamed bravely across the Pacific and landed safely. Another time one of the last of the windjammers cleared Port Moresby with 500 tons of copra for our account, became becalmed and more than six months later showed up ill San Francisco with tile Captain dead and the crew and first mate delirious from the heat and starvation. Pending shipments from the Orient which have been tem porarily delayed, this plant is now engaged in pressing Ji.c<vJ oil from flaxseed grown in (lie states of Montana and Oregon. DURKEE FAMOUS FOODS, INC GLD31343 DURKEE FAMOUS FOODS Vegetable oil refining was started lit Ismisville in 1H8:5 to recover the oil from cottonseed, which prior to that time had been dumped into tile rivers throughout the South. The Glidden Company purchased this plant in 15).`5.`S as another unit in the Durkee system and completely modern ized the plant and its equipment. Elect rolytic hydrogen gas of highest purity is piped in from a nearby plant. In addition to the usual inside storage tanks for. processed oil there are 21 large outside storage tanks and side track capacity for 100 tank cars. A complete line of shortenings is manufactured and the plant also sells tank car margarine oils and tank car salad oils and acts as a feeder point for both the Elston Avenue and Elmhurst refineries for various types of oil. Three men still remain of the original complement and tea men carry the twenty-five year watches presented in 1942. DURKEE FAMOUS FOODS `ScnAeUtf., (ZeUifauU* In 1929 The Glidden Company purchased a crushing mill here and rapidly enlarged its facilities so that now the business comprises three divisions. The first division is a crushing plant equipped to extract fats from oil bearing seeds through an expeller process. It can handle almost any type of seed and through its mighty presses pass copra, babassu nuts, palm kernels, uricuri, tucum, sesame seed, flaxseed, soybeans, cohuue and coquito nuts. The second division is a completely equipped refinery where the oils a re neutralized, hydrogenated and deodorized. Here also is a large winterizing plant. In this division also are produced large quantities of high ratio vegetable oil shortenings, hardened butter and other vegetable oil prod ucts. The third division covers the manufacture of mayon naise, salad dressings, Erench dressing and margarine. The plant covers an area of approximately five acres and handles all processing operations from the raw materials to the shipment of the finished product. A large fleet of trucks is maintained for the distribution and sale of packaged products, and warehouses and offices arc maintained for the servicing of the eleven western states. DURKEE FAMOUS FOODS *}. "Ha w This plant was acquired from E. R. Durkee & Company in 1929 and since then has been completely modernized and equipped for the production of shortenings, salad oil, spices, salad dressings, and coconut processing. During the past two years they have also produced vast quantities of dehydrated potatoes packed for export for Army and Lend-Lease use. The complete description of the condiment and coconut division here follows in later pages. This plant is located well out on Long. Island near Im Guardia Field and in a residential area completely free from the dust and smoke usually associated with such large manufacturing enterprises. It is regarded as one of the show places of this area. GLD31344 CHEMICAL & PIGMENT COMPANY Oakland, (frUtfonHiet, TIiis plant lms it rated capacity of 900 tons of litlioponc mid-titnnolith per month, 750 tons bleached barytes, 380 tons zinc sulphate crystals, 80,000 gallons of coal tar and 50,000 gallons of asphalt. It is the only litlioponc plant on the Pacific coast, and uses barytes produced in the Company's own mine in IJnttlc Mountain, NTevudn. This mine taps a tremendous deposit of ore which is hauled down the mountain side on the road built by the Company's own engineers. Considerable ingenuity has been displayed here in the production of highly useful war materials, but that is another story that must remain untold for the present. CHEMICAL & PIGMENT COMPANY @MiH4viUe, This plant is ideally situated in a beautiful little valley outside of Collinsville. A complete line of lithopone is pro duced and its read}' access to barytes ore and zinc ore in Missouri and coal in Illinois gives it a commanding posi tion in this field. The production of this plant is used extensively in the manufacture of paint, linoleum, oil cloth, rubber, paper, coated-board and other allied industries. Transportation facilities are excellent, shipments going from here to our New Orleans paint plant by Mississippi ltiver steamers. Much of our export business is also started on its way via the sturdy river boats. THE GLIDDEN COMPANY SOYA PRODUCTS DIVISION (Aieaf. `OUinaiA This is the largest soybean processing plant in the coun try and the only one manufacturing alpha protein. It is one of the show places of the Chicago manufacturing area and is protected for the duration of the war by an elabo rate system of guards and fences. A splendidly equipped laboratory is devoted to research and our research chemists have a world-wide reputation, particularly in the field of hormones. Progesterone is now being produced commercially for use by the medical profes sion throughout the world. The bulk business is the production of Soybean Flour, Soybean Meal, lecithin, alpha protein and refined proteins for technical industries, such as paper coatings, adhesive, textile sizing, etc. The plant apparently will never he completed, as new additions are constantly being added to accommodate the increasing demands for alpha protein and other products. THE GLIDDEN COMPANY 5W WiU Vmh ** This is one of the newer additions to The (Hidden organ isation, having been started in October, 11)4-52, for the pro duction of foodstuffs. Despite the difficulties of securing udequate equipment in war times a very creditable job has been done and these new products are already in great demand. Here too is operated an edible food division for the pro duction of Soyarich Flour and Soyabits, both of which products arc now being advertised nationally. Also the plant has been equipped and is producing tremendous quantities of dehydrated pens used in dehydrated soups for the armed forces and under Lcnd-I-case. THE GLIDDEN COMPANY 'JfctoAOjt Stones The term "Naval Stores" originally denoted, only pine tar and pine pilch. In early colonial days these products were exported to Great llritain for use by the llritish Navy. Since that time the term Naval Stores has been expanded and now covers practically all products derived from the southern pine tree, such as pine tar, pine pitch, rosin, turpentine, dipenteue, pine oil, etc. The Naval Store industry is one of the many forest industries of southeastern United States. Its general well being and ordered prosperity contributes greatly to the support of a broad policy of forest management devoted to reforesta tion and the maintenance of the pine forests of the Atlantic coastal plains. The Glidden Company, realizing the importance of the SOUTHERN PINE CHEMICAL CO. Jacksonville, Florida Naval Stores to the southeastern portion of the United States, entered this field of activity by purchasing several destructive distillation plants scattered through North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. These plants are operated as a division of The Glidden Company under the name of Southern Fine Chemical Company and have been given the benefit of energetic, sound management and a research program that lias revolutionized this entire industry. It was ns n result of The Glidden research policy that the Company entered into the Gum Naval Stores in ll)!i(i, producing rosin and turpentine from large plants located at Jacksonville, Florida, and Valdosta, Georgia. These plants were the first central Naval Stores plants in the south and have developed now and better products hitherto unknown to this industry. Thus, through these two southern divisions The Glidden Company has contributed in a broad and effective manner to the development of the southern pine forest. Glidden Naval Stores have played a necessary and important part in the war program. Fine tar, pine tar oil and dipenteue arc essential agents. For example, reclaimed rubber is produced by digesting finely ground scrap rubber at high temperature under heavy pressure with suitable reelaiming agents. Of these, pine tar, pine tar oil and dipenteue are essential. GLD31346 OURKEE FAMOUS FOODS Stncet. &UaeiQ*. *?(&*& This is another show plant, manufacturing all types of margarine and producing about throe million pounds per monlh. It serves the territory between the Kocky Moun tains and the Ohio lino, from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. Lend-Lease shipments from this plant run into the millions of pounds per year. This division also is famous for its high-quality puffpaste shortening, which is sold to thousands of bakeries under the trade names "Roll-In" and "Puff-Do." DURKEE FAMOUS FOODS `TfauveUG. 06i* 'Phis is one of the most modern and ellieient margarine plants in the country. lake all Durkee Famous Food plants, it is spotlessly clean at all times, and being surrounded by open country on three sides, with outdoor picnic tables and a massive grill for the use of the factory and office staff, it provides almust ideal working conditions. Production at present for domestic and Lend-Lease use is running into the many millions of pounds per year, and thousands of new customers are expressing their delight over the discovery of this delicious and inexpensive spread. THE GLIDDEN COMPANY VEGETABLE OIL DIVISION "Pew&. @cUiyutici Flaxseed oil, more commonly known as linseed oil, is nn important raw material used in the manufacture of paint, and when properly treated can also be used for edible pur poses. Gliddcn research developed the fact that flaxseed grown in the San .Joaquin and Imperial Valleys in California has a higher iodine value than that grown anywhere else in the I'nitcd States. Accordingly, this modern crushing plant was erected in Southern California, making available to (Hidden factories the finest linseed oil in America. Typical of Gliddcn foresight was the action taken in the spring of 1911 by our seed expert. Noticing that a blight was attacking the flaxseed harvest, lie withdrew immedi ately from production several thousand pounds of the finest seed which he distributed to the flaxseed growers, I hereby enabling them to defeat the blight aiul emerge the following year wjlli a blight-free crop. THE CHEMICAL & PIGMENT COMPANY St, 'ZtetutA. `&atC*Ko>M.. 'THxvufhxttd This division produces litlioponc of various types mid 11 full line of cadmium colors. The zinc used in the litlioponc phuit is obtained from residues and fumes from smelters, thus reclaiming material which otherwise would he wasted. The barium ore required in the process is shipped in from Tennessee and Georgia. A full line of cadmium litlioponc colors are produced here and cover a wide range of reds, maroons and yellows. Cadmium metal also is recovered from foreign and domestic slags and residues and a lead-tin recovery unit restores to commercial use considerable quantities of metal. The management of this plant also supervises the pro duction of the adjoining plant of the American Zirconium Corporation, and a modern laboratory has just been com pleted to accommodate the large staff of expert research men and technicians. METALS REFINING COMPANY ^OHUHOHet, This is'one of the most interesting plants in the Glidden organization, mid its powdered metals, chiefly copper, iron, tin and lead will play a prominent part in post-war indus try'. Here also enormous tonnages of cuprous oxide have been produced for use in anti-fouling ship bottom paints. Industry generally has greeted our iron powder with great enthusiasm and already it is being used widely in the manufacture of intricate gears and parts. These items now can be pressed into the exact form required, doing away with the tedious grinding and milling heretofore found nec essary. Our copper powder is pressed into oilless and fool proof bearings and parts covering a wide range of indus trial products. This division also produces reel lead and various types of litharge and antimouial lead for use in the manufacture of storage batteries. Wilkes type metal produced here is used in the printing of lending newspapers throughout the country. A research laboratory and staff of experts is main tained here for the purpose of maintaining our position in the vanguard of American industry. EUSTON LEAD COMPANY SviOMtOK. 'PcK*t4y(MlHte Kuston White Lead is famous throughout the paint in dustry for its uniform quality, whiteness and covering abil ity. This results from the process which was developed and patented by Kdwin Kuston and perfected by the Glidden research staff. Whereas the so-called old dutch process requires three mouths to oxidize leads in pots with acetic acid and tun- bark, with the Kuston process the lead is spattered and oxidized by a chemical process resulting in continuous production. The process used here has been so far developed and refined, and the staff of operators has been so well trained that for many years this plant 1ms had the lowest accident and occupational illness record of any plant in The Glidden organization. CLD31348 @a*tcUcHe*tt eutct @&c mu u { *Di<M4io*t DURKEE FAMOUS FOODS, ELMHURST, LONG ISLAND, N. Y. This division was started in 1850 by K. U, Durkec, who ground spices in his home by night and peddled them house-to-house during the day . With the assistance of his wife lie hit upon a formula for a unique dressing, one which resisted separation in freezing temperatures or rancidity in hot weather. This was the beginning of Ihtrkec's Famous Dressing and Meat Sauce. When the United States Government passed the Pure Food & Drug laws in 1906, the Durkec manufacturing standards for spices were used as a basis for establishing standards for the entire industry. In 1939 (ten years after acquisition bv The Glidden Company) the recommendations of the Durkec laboratory were used as a basis for establishing standards of fill for Spice packuges in connection with the enforcement of the slack-filling laws for package foods and drugs. Our present Cocoanut business was started over sixty years ago by The Dunham Manufacturing Company, the first to manufactureand sell a prepared cocoanut in the shred form to the public. After this business was acquired by The Glidden Company it was expanded rapidly, taking over the distribution of the output of three Cocoanut plants in the Philippine Islands. This latter expansion, plus the Elmhurst processing of fresh Cocoanuts, represents almost 25% of a total normal industry of over a hundred million pounds annually. TJ.e. following brief summary of the items manufactured mid sold by the Condiment and Cocoanut Division will indicate'the man}' sources of raw materials and the wide variety of items which arc featured by this Division. Duliar's Famous Dressing and Meat Sauce: An all-purpose fourteen Spiec Sauce--delicious on sandwiches, meats, fish and salads. Durkre's Worcestershire Sauce: The skillful blending of many Spices with Soya and Vinegar, resulting in a delicious Sauce for steaks, chops, etc. Cocoanut--Desiccated and Prepared: Manufactured (prior to the war) in the Philippine Islands and at Elmhurst from fresh Cocoanuts imported from the West Indies--always popular as an ingredient for pies and desserts in every home--and an impor tant raw material for bakers and confectioners.
