A white plastic bottle of school glue, its tip an orange rocket ship nose cone, slightly damaged at the top. Below, the cap with vertical ridges. A clockwise arrow points to CLOSE on the top. An arrow in the oppostie direction, to OPEN.
The bottle has shoulders, a long straight torso. On the label, ELMER'S in white letter on a blue banner, just below the orange-tangerine triangle with the smug, smiling head of a bull. His short horns curve upward, just below them his ears sag downward. Arched eyebrow, smirking smile, he is all opposing lines except nothing is there to balance his goofy double chin.
This school glue declares itself to be Washable. To be Safe. To be Non-toxic.
The fine print on a round stamped endorsement at the bottom of the label is so small I have to move to better light to read it. Around the letters AP it says ACMI. Art and Crafts Materials Institute Certified. There are four fluid ounces when this certified glue bottle is full. Mine has the pink 50 cents garage sale sticker still on it and that must be why my glue bottle is only half full. No worry, Elmer's smile remains smug.
