ANNIVERSARY LOGO -Peter Adams, Film
Division Advertising and Promotion Spe
cialist, designed the 35th anniversary logo
which is used to identify virtually all as
pects of the Open House. It appears on
signs and banners; it appears on posters
and in advertising; on favors such as screw
driver key chains, balloons and matches;
on napkins and the flyer that will serve as
tour guide; and on identification patches
made by Conrad Industries which will be
issued to all employees. The logo is in
two shades of green against a white back
ground, very effectively representing the
long association at Pisgah Forest between
forest products and the cellulose-based
products of the two divisions.

to be printed with four-color illustrations.
It is the first brochure since the Ecusta
Paper Division and the Film Division were
identified in the corporate structure as the
Fine Paper and Film Group. It is the first
brochure since the addition of the Polyes
ter Division.

OPEN HOUSE PLANS SET FOR MAY 15-18
Please mark your calendars.
It’s OPEN HOUSE May 15 through 18, in recognition of
the 35th anniversary of Olin’s industrial complex at Pisgah
Forest.
The plants will be open to visits by employees, their
families and guests, and the public in general, over a four-
day period as follows:
Wednesday through Saturday, May 15
through May 18, from 10:00 a.m. until
2:00 p.m.
Thursday, May 16, from 5:00 p.m.
until 8:00 p.m.
Invitations mailed to all employees
point out that tours will be continuous
from the reception center during the hours
above, that the age limit for children tour
ing the plant is six years, that all children
must be accompanied by adults, and that
a nursery will be available for children too
young to tour the plants with their parents.
The task force planning the open house,
hoping to add to the guests' enjoyment
and to avoid making the tours unduly
tiring, have taken the following into
account:
TENTS . . . for protection from the
weather. There will be one large welcome
center north of the Ecusta coater building
where guests will be received on entering
the plant site. One half of the sheltered
area will be for product exhibits and
orientation about the tours. The other
half will be for serving refreshments.
There will be smaller tents in the vicinity
of the bus stops. Because of the size of the
welcome center tent and the problems that

mud could cause in a wet period, the tent
will be erected on an asphalt floor. This
asphalt pad will be used later for storage
of solvent drums. The walkway west of
Gum-Repse-Reaming is being extended to
the asphalt pad, giving visitors a safe
approach to the tent after completing the
Ecusta tour, and to be used later by fork-
lift trucks hauling the solvent drums.
BUSES ... to cover the long distances
between tours. They will travel clockwise
from the welcome center to the back side
of the plants, to the points where walking
tours begin, and will return to the tent.
Guests may take whatever portions of the
foot tours they wish, one, two or all three:
Film, Research, Paper.
EXHIBITS ... to show what is made
here at Pisgah Forest, and elsewhere in the
company.
SIGNS... to help explain, and to help
show the way.
REFRESHMENTS ... to ease hunger
and thirst after touring the plants.
FAVORS ... to add fun for the mo
ment and souvenirs for the future.
NURSERY ... so that parents will
have a safe place to leave children under
six years of age, who are too young to be
taken into the plants on this special oc
casion. At all other times, the minimum
age for plant visits is 15 years.
Gib Campbell has replaced Jim Lovin
as the Ecusta task force representative
because of Lovin's other responsibilities.
Campbell serves on the task force with
Mildred Reese, Film representative, and
Nelson Warner, chairman.
