REDWOOD TANKS USED 18 YEARS IN LOUIS. IANA STILL GOOD ENOUGH TO BE MOVED

(Frcm The Gulf Coast Lumberman)

Eighteen years ago The Standard Alcohol Company built a wood alcohol plant at F'ullerton, La' They then built five big storage tanks of California Redwood, each holding about 30,000 gallons. These tanks have been in constant use for eighteen years.

The Compa,ny is now dismantling its plant at Fullerton and m,oving it .to Cuba, 'ivhere 'they will reenter business. The big Redwood tanks were taken apart and were foun'd to be in an absolutely perfect state of preservation, so the company is shipping them knock-down to Cuba, where they will again be put together and used.

When eighteen year old tank sto'ck is so good that it is worth freight to Cuba, it is some record for tank material.
