I'VE got a hunch that lots of folks who could apply odorants with advantage t o their prod­uct, or a t some stage of its processing, avoid doing so be­cause they're just downright t imid The very thought of get­t ing themselves involved in the use o f complex aromatic chemicals scares some of them off. I'm sure. 'Course they don't have to know any­thing about chemistry to use these materials effectively. FRiTZSCHrS Industrial Odor-ant Laboratories will supply the know how and the help that's needed All anyone in­terested need do is brief FRITZSCHE on Ins particular product and let their experts carrv the ball from that point on Now. what do you say7
