If you were a farmer it might seem that
way at first glance. But take another look!
Those fine crops, which mean so much
to Canada’s health and economy, often
depend upon chemical fertilizers.
Weed and pest destroyers, orchard sprays
too, are but a few of the services that
chemical research extends to agriculture.
Through good times and bad, the
chemical industry plows a straight
furrow, ever moving forward to create
better things for farm, industry and
home. Look-to chemistry with confidence
for a finer future .. . and to the C-I-L
oval symbol of an organization devoted
to serving Canadians through chemistry.
