 endure. That is the only reason under the sun we have reached our 

 S3rd year of reputation and experience in the chemical industry. Other 

 things may make for temporary fame, but nothing but sheer Quality 

 produces it for a span of over eighty years. That's the reason we are 

 known to produce only the highest grade Insecticides and Fungicides.
