The Butler Herald ‘’KEEPING EVERLASTINGLY AT IT IS THE SECRET OF SUCCESS” VOLUME 85 BUTLER, TAYLOR COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 7, 1961. NUMBER 49. Citizens Of Butler IFnvMiV Brown Wins It ■ . _ . Dept, of Archives Proud of Indi tl. 4-H Club Located Here Conrad Chemical Corporation Manufacturers of ‘Magis Mist’ Sold In Twenty-four States Congress in Chicago (By Mrs. Verna Griggs) Citizen of Butler and Taylor County point with pride and justly so to the new industry located on South Main Street in the old Ed wards Warehouse. Conrad Chemi cal, a Georgia corporation, has lo cated its home office in this thriv ing Middle Georgia town. The of ficers are Mr. Bruce W. Hansen, Marketing Manager, and Mr. Carl Pointer, Sales Manager. Largely through the efforts of Mr. R. C. Brooks, who was instru mental in locating an industry for Taylor county, and Mr. J. W. Ed wards, II, who was willing to re model a building for the young industry to locate, this city will now be headquarters for produc tion and sales of “Magic Mist”, a new oven cleaner now being sold in 24 states of the southeast ex tending from Washington across to Chicago, and as far west as Texas. It will eventually extend to all states and also internationally. Magic Mist is a formula pre pared by Mr. Hansen at the request of the food service industry. They wanted something easy to use, non irritating to the hands and economical. Mr. Hansen developed the first bottle in Chicago, 111. Then the market testing and prep aration to produce it commercial ly began. Before the plant began to formulate plans to locate in But ler, Howard Johnson and other well known cafeterias and food es tablishments were using the prod uct. Mr. Hansen states that the prod uct is unconditionally guaranteed. Each shipment is thoroughly test ed and coded before it is shipped. There are at the present time, 16 oven cleaners on the market and all are basically the same, chemi cal-wise, performance-wise, and ac- ceptibility. All have an unpleas ant odor, all require rubber gloves, and some are inflamable. Magic Mist requires no rubber gloves, has no odor and is non-flamable. Simp ly spray it on and wipe it off with a damp sponge. This cleaner can be used on ce ramic surfaces, outdoor grills, and other non-porous surfaces. It is not to be used on any painted surface or aluminum. Magic Mist is not a solvent, not a sodium hydroxide but a surfae active product. Last year, 14,000 bottles were sold in three department stores in Chi cago where normal movement of oven cleanersaverages four bottles per store per week. 200 to 300 bot tles are sold in the two day dem onstrations being carried on at present in grocery stores. Mr. Hansen stated that about six people will be employed full time at present with others part time. These will be local citizens. $35,000 to $40,000 annual payroll will be added to the local economy. The plant as it is will put out 1000 cases of the cleaner per day. The corporation also will add a new detergent to the list on the mar ket in the spring. Butler is proud of its new indus try, another addition to the town. Mr. Pointer and Mr. Hansen and their interesting families have moved here and are delighted. To quote Mr. Hansen, “We’re away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It‘s quiet so you can relax. The people have been extremely nice to us and we like it here.” Andy Borders Wins Kiwanis Golf Tournev The annual Labor Day Golf Tour ney at Kiwanis Golf Club, Reynolds, Ga was won by Andy Borders, Club champion.
