There's one thing we at Sonoco want to be remembered by: our name. But people keep spelling it with a U instead of an 0. Which is not just another way to spell Sonoco. It's another company. So to help you remember who we are, we'd like for you to remember, one: we don't pump gas for a living. And, two: our business is making things out of paper and plastics. Things like cones, cores and spools for textiles. Cores and tubes for paper manufacturers and converters. Cans, containers and fol<;ling cartons for packaging. Column forming tubes and underground pipe for construction. And underground vaults for the utility industry. What's more, each of the thousands of products we make is developed in some of the largest and most complete laboratories in the paper, cone and tube industry: our own. And none of them go to consumers. Because all our products are made to solve specialized industrial problems. We'd like to tell you more about all the things we \ do. If you'll write Sonoco Products Company, \\ Department SL,Hartsville, S.C. 29550, we'll ~ send you a copy of our ~\l capabilities booklet. ~,~ Because other than i.\~ our name, there's at \~ least one product we ~~~ want to be remem- li bered by. ;c: The one we can make for you.
