... and how Dravo services find the right answersFew industries have matched the record-breakinggrowth of Chemicals over the past 25 years. Seldom,if ever, has any business field had to face the jarringadjustments of invention, discovery and develop-ment that make yesterday’s chemical fact today’shistory. It’s a business of new ideas and new oppor-tunities and, more than anything, a business wheresound judgment and practical planning are thekeynotes.
One place this shows up is in plant location. Itexplains the increasing practice of building alongthe banks of the vast network of inland rivers andat coastal ports on the seaboard. In addition toinsuring supplies of water for processing, the dooris opened for profitable use of the highly functionalbulk transportation facilities of the waterways.
To realize the full benefits of this safe, economicaland dependable shipping method, chemical techni-cians bring their problems to Dravo engineers forsolution. The complexities of chemical processing
have a counterpart in the design, outfitting and con-struction of barges for the industry. As a pioneerin that field, Dravo has participated on committeesto set Coast Guard regulations, has worked closelywith chemical engineers and has conducted researchto expand water transportation possibilities.
More than 3500 hulls have left the Dravo ways,including units for moving such cargos as sulphuricand hydrochloric acid, liquid chlorine and causticsoda, as well as numerous barges for dry bulkchemical products. For specialized attention to thespecialized needs of this field, call on the experienceand "know-how" of DRAVO CORPORATION.

lm8 "m’~TAs fabric for clothing and household use, cotton has been a favorite for centuries.
But today, new developments in spinning,
weaving, and chemical treatment have made cotton a/ront page item.
To its basic qualities of strength, absorbency, and washability, cotton
has added undreamed-of new characteristics. It can be made shrink-proof, mildew- and rot-proof,
water repellent, wrinkle- and dirt-resistant and even permanently pleated.
As a result, cotton is finding new uses in many fields. New weaves and textures
have made it a year-round fabric for use in clothing and home decoration. It has assumednew significance in industrial operations. And its new qualities
are making cotton, more than ever, indispensable to our defense program.
On clothes line, fighting line, or assembly line, today’s cottons are making headlines.

Boosts GasolineMileage Up to 28%!Today, there is documented proof that NewMobiloil Special actually boosts enginepower--equivalent to raising gasoline per-formance as much as 5 octane numbers. Inhundreds of cars, it reduced the octane re-quirement of every type of engine tested.
After just 2 crankcase changes, this newmotor oil has given engines--which"knocked" badly before--new-car pep andknock-free power.
¯ New Mobiloil Special cleaned up enginesot all ages and kept them clean as no otheroil ever has before.
¯ It corrected or relieved spark plug misfir-ing and pre-ignition "ping" (most commonin late model cars).
¯ It reduced the rate of corrosive and me-chanical wear to practically zero.
¯ It provided instant starts in sub-zero coldand complete protection at abnormallyhigh temperatures.
This single grade is recommended for use in
any climate, any season, in place of SAE 5W -10W- 20W or 30 motor oil.
By raising efficiency and cutting waste, NewMobiloil Special will also increase gas mile-age up to 23 % and add years to the life otany car engine.
Change to New Mobiloil Special... it’s likeadding octanes to fuel performance.

There’s no "’moss" growing on the natural gas industry, which
is now sixth in the nation in size of investment. As a matter
of fact, the dependable service you enjoy today is the resuh
of investments and planning by the gas industry which began
a good many years ago. It didn’t "just happen."
Key to dependable service is the producer, whose never-
ending search for additional supplies of gas is your assurance
of gas for years to come. Anything which tends to discourage
or interrupt this search is contrary to the best public interest,
