You're a step ahead when the purity and specifications of the laboratory chemicals used in your research are available in tonnage for process use. You can move confidently from laboratory and pilot studies to full commercial production. More than 200 Baker laboratory chemicals are also supplied in tonnage quantities for production use. These chemicals in bulk quantities are economically priced, and their use frequently eliminates costly purification steps in your process. Your research, development and production teams can quickly identify the TBaker laboratory chemicals available in process quantities. A new cap seal
will carry the statement "This chemical available in bulk for production use." Other Baker laboratory chemicals will be identified by a similar seal as their bulk applications become established. You are already benefiting from the actual lot analyses and actual lot assays on the Baker label. This new cap seal is another "plus value"—-a part of Backer's continuing program for more informative labelling of chemicals. Baker laboratory chemicals play an important part in your research and development program. Let them help you translate your research success into a production success. J« T. BAKER CHEMICAL CO.

PICK THE RIGHT WAX FOR PAPER PRODUCTS Atlantic builds waxes which a d d trouble-free sales appeal to a n y product. Those recommended for paper goods assure you of a hard, glossy, scuff-resistant surface with lasting protection against blocking. Blocking (or sticking together) occurs most often when a w a x loses its hardness. Tough, hard, high-melting Atlantic 1115 W a x gives your products good blocking resistance in hot summer temperatures. Atlantic 1115 W a x is also highly resistant to the deteriorating effect of vegetable oils, so that containers stay firm a n d leak-proof for long periods of time. Atlantic makes a superior v/ax for every use. Selecting the right w a x is quick and easy when y o u call in your Atlantic man. He's a n experienced consultant., .knows which waxes to recommend for hardness, flexibility or a combination of these and other characteristics.
