This week the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Co. announced that its plant at Hastings, Minn, is turning out a whole litter of "fluorochemicals"-compounds just like ordinary organic chemicals...
Magic Cell. Fluorochemicals are nobody's monopoly, but Minnesota Mining believes it has the best commercial method of making them. Instead of starting with dangerous and expensive fluorine gas, its process, invented during World War II by Professor J. H. Simons of Florida University, uses an electrolytic cell charged...
Minnesota Mining is not yet talking about all the fluoroproducts it is making. They are still expensive ($2 to $5 a lb.), but some of them, it hints, may be offered to the public soon. Others will reach the public or industry through chemical manufacturers who buy fluorochemicals and use...
Such items are only the beginning, the Minnesota Mining men say. Lost in chemical ecstasy, they look forward to the day when fluorochemicals will double or triple the number of useful compounds that chemists can play with.
Written by Alan Jay Lerner, "Paint Your Wagon" is the story of post-Gold Rush California, of the ever-hopeful men that wandered the hills in search of one good strike. It is the story of an old speculator, Ben Rumson, and his daughter, and a mining camp of 400...
