To Receive Much
Publicity at Fair

When R. r. Veldman told the

Libby product. vermiculite, was
used in the walls of the buildings
at the San Francisco fair but that
no one seemed to know where il
came from, he set things to NOV

both Zonolite and Universal Insula-

on exhibition and will be given
much publicity

Church dinner on Monday night.

visit to the fair and remarked that
Zonolite was used in the walls of
most of the buildings and thar. I'M
fortunately no one at the fair
seemed to know about vermiculite
and its origin and that there were
no exhibits of vermiculite in the
Montana building It will be, am
sure, of interest to you and your
readers to know that very shortly
there will be two exhibits of Uni

alite at the San Francisco fair. one

poration, who handle Until yer
miculite products under their own
brand names Both exhibits will
demonstrate how Until vermiculite
IS expanded and WI no doubt give
considerable publicity to Libby as
we'll as to the state Of Montana
There is also the possibility Of the
Blue Diamond Corporation the

principally from Universal vermie-

You will no doubt be quite inter-

not only at great many plants in
the United States but also in such
foreign countries as Brazil and
Australia.
