I ^} ^ ™ -A-xiniver s a ry One hundred years ago, chemists August Cahours and August Wilhelm Von Hofmann published a method for producing allyl alcohol. They considered their dis covery merely a laboratory curiosity and foresaw no useful applications for it. From this humble beginning, however, allyl alcohol has grown into an adaptable
chemical, finding ever-increasing applica tion in industry and agriculture. Today, allyl alcohol is used in the manufacture of such products as resins, weed killers and flavorings. Shell Chemical pioneered in the pro duction of high-purity allyl alcohol and allyl chloride. Both chemicals are avail
able, in drum to tank-car quantities, a t conveniently located Shell Chemical dis tribution centers. Your Shell Chemical sales representa tive will be glad to help you explore the possibilities of allyl alcohol and allyl chloride in your own operations. Write for specifications and quotations.
