The next page is a full page advertisement from CHEMINOVA for GLYFOS and GLYFOS X-TRA. Manufacturing your profits. Delivering your profits. Growing your profits. Your source for GLYPHOSATE that's PROFITABLE.

Well Mr. Helliker, The sales of your "registered" POISONS is obviously a "growth" industry.
