Make Business Look Brighter: Turn Out the Lights! Cyanamid suggests you do. We believe that people, places and even profits can look better with the lights off ...and daylight on. On the employees, on their surroundings, and on the expense sheet that shows how much you can save by lighting with natural daylight. You may think that this puts Cyanamid in the unhappy position of selling a free commodity. Not quite: First, we're happy to help people save money. Second, we were able to help by making natural lighting practical for businesses old and new. We designed "dome skylights" that let the light in, yet keep the weather out and off. They're called Acrylite* Skydomes, and they're as different from old-fashioned skylights as can be. Skydomes are double-glazed to keep heat in and cold out. They are shatter-resistant and virtually maintenance-free. Skydomes won't age or discolor. They can save you plenty! Want to find out how much can be saved in a factory, office or warehouse? Let our B u i l d i n g Products Division send you an Electrical Savings Estimator. It's free. Your only obligation is to net earnings. American Cyanamid Company and its subsidiaries bring you many other useful products. See how many of these brand names you recognize: Acrylite® / Alumi Glo® / Aureomycin® Breck® / Gevral®/ Creslan® / Pine-Sol® Formica® / Copper Glo® / Melmac® Perma Starch®

For those equipped with desk or hand readers these 60-odd 3 x 5 cards are a convenient substitute for the four-volume book edition of this index. They take up little more room than a pack of playing cards and can be easily stored and transported. The 1st Decennial Index consists of the Author Index and the Subject Index, and covers the whole sweep of CA's first ten years. Its appearance on Microcards represents an experiment with this modern documentation technique. Other CA indexes may follow later in this form.
