Advertisement for Yarmor Pine Oil manufactured and sold by the Hercules Powder Company for use in the dyeing and wet processing of textiles. This advertisement appeared in several 1948 issues of Textile World and American Dyestuffs Reporter.

Formed in 1912 as part of an anti-trust settlement with DuPont, the Hercules Powder Company (later Hercules Inc.) initially specialized in the manufacture of explosives and smokeless powders and subsequently diversified its business to encompass a variety of industrial products, including pine and paper chemicals, synthetics, pigments, polymers, and cellulose.
