1962 Olin Matheson Chemical Corporation Ad "mouths to feed"

Description: 1962 OLIN MATHESON CHEMICAL CORPORATION vintage magazine advertisement "mouths to feed"

~ More mouths to feed every year. Who'll help grow the food to feed them? - Most of the human race is still poorly fed, and the world is producing people much faster than food. By 1970, world population will have zoomed another half billion. The earth must be helped to do its share. - The earth is learning to produce more, partly because of a bold move fifteen years ago. During World War II, the U.S. Government urged the chemicals industry to develop a high analysis fertilizer to boost our farm yield. But there was one hitch: Our farmers were pretty "sot" in their ways, how could they persuaded to buy the stuff? The Chemicals Division of Olin took on the job. Olin not only developed the new-type fertilizer. (Ammonium phosphate in a pellet form that practically guaranteed even distribution. Half the bulk of ordinary fertilizers. Much easier to apply.) They hit the road to coax the farmers out of their prejudices. Soon this new Ammo-Phos was helping the U.S. farmer produce more wheat, more corn, more beans per acre than he'd ever thought possible. - Today, Olin is selling the fertilizer -- and the facts -- to farmers almost everywhere in the free world. Ammo-Phos is being applied by hand, by machine, even by airplane (over flooded rice fields, for instance). Wherever it goes, more food grows. And fewer people go hungry. Another creative solution to a problem . . . from the Chemicals Division of Olin. - Olin Matheson Chemical Corporation, 460 Park Avenue, New York - Chemicals - International - Metals - Organics - Packaging - Squibb - Winchester-Western ~
