Geraniol. In view of the high prices of rose oil and of the scarcity 

 of all geranium oils, the demand for geraniol has at times been so extra- 

 ordinarily brisk that we were compelled, in the case of numerous large 

 orders, to stipulate for a commensurate term for delivery. Finally we 

 were enabled, by increasing our manufacturing plant, to overcome all 

 obstacles, and in the future we will therefore have no difficulty in supplying 

 any desired quantity within the shortest possible time. It is a well-known 

 fact that we require our geraniol to stand the highest tests in respect of 

 quality, and this is precisely the reason why our sales of this important 

 perfume have so enormously increased during the last few years. 



Linalyl acetate. A case came before us recently to which we wish 

 to refer in some detail here as showing what kind of products are 

 occasionally brought into commerce under the name of linalyl acetate.
