Page 4 THE OIL MILL GAZETTEER February, YOU CAN GET MORE MONEY FOR YOUR LINT WITH THE NEW IMPROVED M o : BC-4 LINT CLEANER ' S e t t e r This new model machine makes better quality lint by removing a large per­ centage of the foreign matter, such as pepper, immature seeds, hulls and lint trash. It increases the cellulose content of the lint, affording premium prices for normal cut lint or allowing a heavy cut at normal price. The short fiber lint is separated from the shale and leaf trash and returned to the second cut system. This reduces your lint loss and allows extra profits. Other Fort Worth lint room equip­ ment includes Brushless Linter D e­ vices, Pneumatic Lint Flue Systems, Linter Saws, Exhaust Fans and Cyclone Separators. Fort Worth Engineers are available to assist you with any of your lint room problems without obligation. J CHECK THESE NEW FEATURES .

In 1945, John saw the company move into larger quar­ ters in the highly industrial area of New Orleans. From 1945 to 1951 John Rogers traveled over the Central and Western United States making friends, renewing friendships. A year ago, John suffered a broken leg caused by an auto backing into him . this confined him to bed for a long period . fol­ lowed by another illness. John retired from active business to enjoy his camp at Kemah, Texas. And, we of the oil milling industry, who have known and loved John Rogers, admired his grit, and depended on his judgment, proclaim him a great booster of the Oil Milling Industry. And, we consider it a honor to dedicate this Fifth Divisional Program to John Rogers, Houston, Texas. JOHN C. ROGERS FROM MR. CROSSNO Mr. H. E.
