Double-sided advertisement for Thanite, an insecticide manufactured and sold by the Hercules Powder Company. The advertisement, which appeared in the June 1994 issues of Soap, features interior and exterior views of a laboratory facility in Brunswick, Georgia used to research and test Thanite.
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.
