This vintage trade card advertises Le Page’s Liquid Glue. The ad takes a humorous approach. It shows a poor gentleman who has accidentally glued himself to a bench. Worse yet, he is in a “no loafing” zone. This glue is portrayed as so powerful, that not even five policemen can get him unstuck. Le Page’s Liquid Glue was manufactured by the Russia Cement Company of Gloucester, Massachusetts. The company was started by William Nelson Le Page (1849-1919). The firm was established in 1876. This lithograph trade card is a nice one. It’s very detailed and very colorful. The colors are quite sharp. There are a number of variants of this card. This trade card is in very good condition (see scans). SOLD
