Wilf Eggington "Here's what Carboline is doing about raw material shortages."

Critical raw material shortages have made 1974 a difficult year for you, the marine protective coatings industry and our company.

Shipping delays and unavoidable price increases have resulted. And this comes at a time when your acceptance of our products is at an all-time high.

Here s the direct action we have taken to help ease the effect of the shortages: • We've set up a special executive team to seek new quality sources of raw materials throughout the world wherever they exist. • We've increased our plant capacity at Xenia,

Ohio, and Lake Charles, Louisiana, and opened a new plant in Hayward, California. • Our laboratory continues to develop new and improved marine coatings which use more readily available raw materials. • We have set up a new data processing procedure for quick and accurate order follow-up and expediting. • Larger warehouse space is being provided with increased levels of stock in the works.

Although the shortage is still with us, we're working diligently to improve our service.

In the meantime, thanks for being so patient and understanding. carboline
