Anderson • Camden • Charleston • Columbia • Conway • Darlington • Florence • Gaffney Greenville • Greer • Inman • Myrtle Beach • Orangeburg • Rock Hill • Spartanburg • Sumter Sonoco Products Company is a successful $125 million manufacturer of paper and plastic products. Yet some people think we pump gas for a living. We've refined a lot of products since 1899. But none of them has been gasoline. We let the people at Sunoco do that. At Sonoco we make things. Things like cones, cores and spools for textiles. Cores and tubes for paper manufacturers and converters. Cans, containers and folding cartons for packaging. Column forming tubes and underground pipe for construction. And underground vaults for the utility industry. And each of the thousands of products we make is developed in our own laboratories. ·Which are some of the largest and most complete in the paper, cone and tube industry. So how can we be so big and at the same time so unknown? Easy. None of our products go to consumers. They're all made to solve specialized problems for industry. Which means even if someone knows us for one of our products, it's quite possible he doesn't know us for anything else. That's why we'd like to give you a booklet that tells all about all the things we do. If you write Sonoco Products Company, Department SL, Hartsville, S. C. 29550, we'll send you a copy. It doesn't bother us that some people think we have service stations on every corner. As long as you know we have manufacturing plants around the world. Sonoco Products Company.
