were carefully selected for the explicit purpose of placing the

beginner with limited capital in a position to manufacture

quick-sell products. Every one of them represents a popular

product of wide appeal and genuine merit. No expensive

equipment is needed to prepare these products. In most cases,

you do the mixing, compounding and packaging from your kitchen

table. If directions are adhered to faithfully, results are

sure to be satisfactory.

strips of vulcanized rubber about 3 inches wide and one-eighth

of an inch thick, cut off the size of the intended stamp, then

remove the plaster cast from the type, and place both the cast

and the rubber in a screw press. Now apply sufficient heat to

thoroughly soften the rubber, turn the screw hard and let it

makes a good grade black ink.

Insect Repellant Pads - These are made by dipping fabric

remnants, paper toweling, paper napkin stock, etc., in a simple

solution made of: 1 part methyl (di-methyl) phthalate, 1 part

isopropyl alcohol - 95% alcohol, 190 proof (approx.). NOTE:

This is not the isopropyl rubbing compound. The alcohol serves

no active purpose beyond carrying the potent ingredient, Methyl

Phthalate, into the fibres of the pads. The alcohol then

evaporates. Directions for Use: If the skin is heavy with

perspiration, fist dry, then use the pad just like cleaning

tissue, for protection against gnats, mosquitoes, chiggers,

flies and other insects. Do not apply close to the eyes.

Perfectly safe elsewhere. For sale, a dozen or 20 small pads in

a polyethylene bag makes an effective retail unit.

Kitchen Wall Cleaner - This is a syrupy, water-like liquid,

until recently patented, but now produced by a number of

manufacturers who wholesale it through jobbers.

"Triethanolamine", pronounced Try-ethan-all-a-meen. It would be

difficult to find a chemical wholesaler who does not sell it,

but may not know its value as a cleaner-polish for smoked-up

kitchen walls. Directions: To make an amazing kitchen

wall-cleaner, add about an ounce to a quart of water. Add a

trace of blue dye for eye-appeal, if you wish. Or, sell "as is"

as a concentrate, for the user to dilute with water, himself.

The kitchen walls, of course, must be "washable". Moisten a

cloth or sponge with the solution, and wipe the soiled surfaces.

Rinsing is not necessary. The solution converts kitchen grease

deposits into soap, and leaves the walls gleaming like new.

Never dull or powdery as do many other, more expensive wall

cleaners.

Spray-On, Wipe-Off Glass Cleaner - Obviously, the base necessary

for all glass cleaners is water. But to make water much more

effective as a cleaner, other ingredients must be added. One of

the simplest and best is a solution of 3 or 4 parts of water and

1 part of Methanol, which is also known as denatured alcohol,

wood alcohol or methyl alcohol. It's inexpensive, too . This

simple formula makes a quick-drying glass cleaner that will

amaze you. If you want to improve it slightly, add not more

than 1/2 of 1% of any synthetic detergent like Vel, Tide, Rinso

Blue, and/or even less than 1/2 of 1% of trisodium phosphate,

better known as TSP. This is so cheap that you may be

well-advised to buy your first or experimental needs at retail.

A trace of blue or red dye may be added to your product, for eye

appeal. If you want a very effective solution and are impressed

by instant-drying properties, just use TSP and water. The

ready-to-use liquid cost about the same as plain water - but it

does the job! And it leaves no chalky deposits. Few products

for home use provide such a high margin of profit as this one.

(Note: The above analysis is sold as information only. we

cannot be held liable for any accidents that may result from

your using the solution improperly.)

Liquid Dishwashing Detergent - Unlike many detergents and

surfactants, this is non-corrosive, non-rusting. To this

extent, at least, it is superior for cleaning car bodies, milk

cans and other metal objects. Formula: "Nimex 21" from Stephan

Chemical Company, one of the largest producers of Lasic

synthetic detergents in the United States. It has a number of

factories, which we list below. Any of these firms can and will

answer your inquiries as to the distributor of their products

who is located nearest to you. Address to Stephan Chemical

Company at the following locations:

224A West Frontage Road, Northfield, IL

693 Humphries St., S.W. Atlanta, GA

100 West Hunter Avenue, Maywood, NJ

5587 North Ridge Rd, North Madison, OH

1139 Ellamae Street, Tampa 2, Fl

Dissolve Nimex 21 (any quantity) in an equal amount of water.

As you stir, the liquid becomes thicker, not thinner, as you

might normally expect. A trace of perfume oil, such as any

chemical house can supply, may be added if desired. The perfume

should be dissolved in the Nimex before adding water.

Directions: For dishwashing, add a tablespoonful or so to the

dishpan, the amount depending on the number of dishes and the

grease deposits, etc. For car washing and the like, 2

tablespoonfuls (one ounce) to 3 to 4 gallons of water is usually

ample. When hosed down, the body will dry without streaking.

Liquid Vitamin - Simply made from one product of the field.

Gives you quick energy and vitality. Author claims that after

one week, you'll be kicking up your heels and raring to go.

Ideal for men and women past 40. In a porcelain or enamelware

vessel, put 2-1/2 lbs. of clean Oats. Add 2 gallons of

distilled or unmineralized rainwater. Set in a cool place for

48 hours. Bring to boil slowly. Strain through cloth. You

will have about one gallon of liquid. Put in a jug, keep in

refrigerator. Dose: A 2 oz. glass , 3 or 4 times a day. If

larger quantities are made, add 1/10 of 1% of Benzoate-Soda to

the gallon to act as a preservative.

Transferix for Transferring Pictures - Common yellow soap, 1-1/2

oz., 3-1/2 oz. of fl. spirits of turpentine, 1 pint of soft

water (made soft by boiling, then cooled). Dissolve the soap by

boiling in the water, and when nearly cool add the turpentine,

then shake the ingredients together thoroughly. Put up in

1-ounce bottles. Paste a small label on the front of the

bottle, and on another small separate sheet (about 3x6) have the

following directions printed: Directions for Using Fluid:

Apply liberally to the surface of the printed matter with a soft

brush or sponge (being very careful that you do not smear the

ink, which becomes soft when the fluid is applied), and allow to

soak for a few minutes. Then place the plain cloth or paper

over wet side of printed matter and subject it to moderate

pressure - one minute - using bowl of spoon or small roller.

Upon separating them you will find the picture has been

transferred to the other surface.

Marvel-O Eight-in-One Product - Orthodichlorobenzene, 1 part;

Carbon Tetrachloride, 2 parts: by weight. Mix. Put up in

6-ounce cans, or in such sizes are best suited to your purposes.

This is truly a marvelous product on which the profit is

large. It does work, too. Insect Exterminator: Used as a

spray, it kills moths, their eggs and larvae, as well as

bedbugs, roaches, silverfish, ants, mosquitoes, flies and other

insects. Powerful Disinfectant: Adding two tablespoonsful to

warm water or soap suds, it serves as a powerful disinfectant

when applied to mattresses, springs, upholstery, walls, floors,

wash bowls, etc. Leaves a pleasant, clean odor and guards

health. Paint Remover: This wonderful product is amazingly

efficient in removing lacquer, shellac and paint of all kinds.

Hand Cleaner: Excellent for the workman or mechanic, removes

dirt, grime, grease and leaves the hands clean and soft. Used

full strength it will not harm the hands. Spot Cleaner: Takes

out dirt, grease, grime, spots and stains from any material.

Leaves no ring and is non-injurious. Deodorant: Used as a

spray, it becomes an effective and pleasant deodorant that kills

unpleasant odors and purifies the air. Easy to use.

Quick-Action Cleaner: An effective cleaner when added to soap

suds, cuts the grease and makes clothes washing easier. Also

speeds cleaning action on floors, walls, linoleum, tiling, wash

bowls, bath tubs, etc. A wonderful window cleaner. Metal

Polish and Cleaner: Apply full strength on a soft cloth, cuts

the surface dirt film with just a few easy rubs, and will not

injure any metal surface. Produces a brilliant finish or

restores original lustre. Renews and Cleans Typewriter Platens,

Ribbons and Printers' Rollers: Wash rollers with this solution.

Dip ribbons in this cleaner and roll out, wait 24 hours to use.

NOTE: Above is suggested for label and advertising copy. All

claims made above can be depended upon in this fantastic

product. Simply and easy to prepare and very profitable. It

makes a wonderful demonstrator item and is great for

house-to-house canvassing.

To Improve Odor: The odor of Orthodichlorobenzene will probably

have to be masked with a scenting oil, such as Oil of Myrbanc or

Citronella, by dissolving the scenting oil in a small amount of

rubbing alcohol and adding to the mixture. The

Orthodichlorbenzene and Carbon Tetrachloride may be obtained

from any wholesale drug company or chemical firm.

Things to Remember (Smart Things)

Have confidence in yourself. Don't sell yourself short. Many

manufactured products with national distribution today were once

manufactured in a small way by people who possessed this

confidence in their ability to succeed. They did succeed, and

there is absolutely no reason why you can't make products as

good as the finest on the market. You must believe it!

The product, regardless of type, has not been made that cannot

be improved upon. That's why some products put out by little

known manufacturers are actually superior to those offered by

the big companies. So, never be satisfied with the product you

are making. Always try to improve upon it - you don't have to

be a chemist to do it. Experiment on your own - you might be

surprised at what you can do. The big companies are working

'round the clock to improve their products, which accounts for

the constant change in the formulas of many products. Just take

a look at the evolution of camera since Polaroid introduced its

Land Camera - supposedly the "ultimate camera". So, regardless

of how good a product may be, the possibility of improvements is

always there and should be explored at every opportunity.

Lack of finances is no barrier to success. The unsuccessful

person inevitably uses this as an alibi for his failures, but it

is an overworked alibi. This person leans heavily on the old

adage that "it takes money to make money". While there is

nothing particularly wrong with the statement, why is it that so

many people with little or no money to speak of have achieve

greatness in their chosen field or profession? It is because

they want success strongly enough to work for it and they have

confidence in their ability to achieve it.

They were Positive Thinkers, one of the outstanding

characteristics of successful people. Instead of looking upon a

project with doubt, fear and skepticism, the positive thinker

turns a deaf ear to all the Doubting Thomases who tell him it

can't be done. He goes ahead and does it!

The Negative Thinker, as much through laziness as anything else,

seems to welcome negative comments from others so he won't have

to put out the effort. It gives that person a good excuse for

being a failure.

Occasionally we receive a letter from someone who practically

accuses us of misleading people into believing they can make

money in the Chemical Specialty Manufacturing business and then

proceeds to tell us why it cannot be done. A self-appointed

expert on the subject who has never tired it and never will

because he has already accepted defeat - without even trying.

Always remember: What others are doing, you can do.

For every letter we receive from those defeatists, we receive

countless others from people who are making a success in this

business and enjoying it; but you can bet your bottom dollar

they didn't achieve it listening to the Gloomy Busses and

Doubting Thomases.

A living example if this is the story of the Italian man in

Montreal who went into this business on a "shoestring" with a

liquid cleaner, mixing it in an open head drum and selling it

for about $80 profit per drum. After developing a paying demand

for his cleaner, he obtained formulas for other products to add

to his line until the time came for him to add a good floor wax

or finish. When he mentioned this to one of his customers,

advising him that in the very near future he would have a good

floor wax, the customer told him that he was foolish to add such

a product to his line because the Johnson Wax People had the

business sewed up. The Italian man replied, "Whoosa this

Johnson? Neva heara him. He neva hearda me, so I have new

floor wax nexta week". He couldn't have cared less about

competition, no matter how big - he had confidence in his

ability to do things and he did them.

Many proportions in this report are designated by "parts". Any

one weight, such as grams, ounces, pounds, etc., may be substituted

for "parts".
