what cfo you pay for

ISO-BUTYL ALCOHOL?

Some users of iso-Butyl Al­cohol pay 97φ a gallon for i t ; others only 6jé gal. There's a simple answer to this: You can recover iso-Butyl Alcohol for repeated use with a Barne-bey-Cheney recovery system at 6φ gal. direct operating cost.

If you evaporate iso-Butyl Alcohol in quantity, solvent recovery can save you impor­tan t money.
