Yes, it’s a fact! That sheer filmy creation
in your wardrobe may well have begun life in
some dark quiet British Columbia forest.

Nighties are but one of the many items of

wearing apparel now produced from high quality
acetate yarns. Today, you’ll find these wonder yarns
turning into fine drapes, hangings, slip covers, rugs,
and scores of other colorful fabrics for modern
living. In still another form they become that

most versatile of all materials . . . acetate plastic.

Acetate yarns and plastics are derived from purified
cellulose . . . a snow white wood pulp refined

from spruce and hemlock trees. Through the
miracle of chemistry, the big Columbia Cellulose
plant at’ Prince Rupert is now converting logs
into the basic ingredient for materials which will

eventually reach your living room or clothes closet.

There’s nothing remote or mysterious about

our work up here at Columbia Cellulose.

It is intimately associated with many phases of
everyday living. It alk makes a great and growing
contribution to the economic wealth of our
Province. And that’s important to all of us!

Columbia Cellulose Company is the first unit of a rapidly
expanding Canadian industrial organization. Within
@ few months, this organization will be combining timber
from British Columbia with natural gas derivatives
from Alberta to produce a wide range of fibres and other
. acetate products for Canadians from coast to coast. Our
program of continuous forest yield ensures lasting
full-time employment for thousands of Canadian workers.
