College Of Product Knowldege<br>Chemicals And Compounds
This is an updated version of the product training course introduced by Supply House Times in 1979, authored by Don Arnold.
The College of Product Knowledge ran in Supply House Times for three years and resulted in a reprint manual that sold for many years to follow, totaling thousands of copies. It became something of an industry classic. Much of the original training material is still applicable to the products sold today - but there is also much in the wholesalers' product mix that is new since then. The purpose of this updated series is to look at what has come along since the first edition.
The items we'll be discussing this time differ from other subjects in our series in that they are not products in the conventional "hardware" sense. In fact, most of them are not even related to each other in terms of function. About the closest thing to a common denominator we can offer is the fact that many such items are available as a "line" of products from certain industry manufacturers. Another rather simplistic definition is that the majority of these products are packaged in cans, bottles or jars.
