Fly-Tox insecticide tested at Mellon Institute lab
Absence of divorce laws means nothing to South Carolinians as long as Georgia is accommodating. Insects are raised in incubators at a factory. When fully grown they are released into a test chamber called the Chamber of Death. A teaspoonful of FLY-TOX sprayed inside causes all to die within five minutes. The dead insects are kept in incubators for 24 hours to test revival. If any flutter, the product fails quality. This is the quick action insect spray. There is only one FLY-TOX developed at Mellon Institute by Rex Research Fellowship. Every bottle is guaranteed.
