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 O.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 folding 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.

We ask that the letters be held to 150 words or less. Excerpts from this month's letters are pre­ sented below. I am trying to learn something about two old art forms and I un­ derstand they were done in the South many years ago. One is reverse painting; that is, painting on the back of glass. The other is painting on velvet with stencils. I think they used to call it "therims" [?]. Shirley Whitaker (Mrs. T. Whitaker) Worthington, Ohio The article on Hartwell Lake in the August 1970 Sandlapper, by Beth Ann Klosky, was very interest­ ing and informative, especially the historical sites that will be no more. However, it may interest some of your readers to know that there are a few left, one being the Harrisburg Cemetery two miles east of Town­ ville on an island in Hartwell Lake.
