DDT —This important insecticide has at last been released, but 
unfortunately the formulas for its various uses have not 
been determined. We hope by the time this catalog reaches you 
this may be accomplished. In the meantime we have a 5 per cent 
solution that has given satisfactory results for household use 
and in barns and stables. It kills flies, mosquitoes, bedbugs, 
roaches, fleas and some types of ants.
