well understand.

Lots of folks are. And Amoco Chemicals Corporation happily courts all in­ terested prospects with a wide line of chemical building blocks for industry. Take a look to the left. There's probably some AMOCO I PA (Isophthalic Acid) improving the appearance of her shoulder bag and some I PA in the chair and tray over there, helping them retain their good looks. For example, the chair will resist cracking, crazing and fracture . . . and the tray will withstand the temperatures of an automatic dishwasher. AMOCO T M A (Trimellitie Anhydride! may be an ingredient in the vinyl bonnet of her hair dryer, adding to its heat resistance and durability. Those adhesive bandages can thank INDOPOL Polybutene for their stickto-itiveness (making them tackier and more flexible). And AMOCO D M T (Dimethyl Terephthalate) and AMOCO TA (Terephthalic Acid) just might be used in making the fibers for the drapery fabric, the wrinkle-resistant suit and the film shown in our photograph. We could go on and on. Next time you're looking for chemical building blocks for your products, take a long look at Amoco. It may be love at first sight.
