GREEN TERROR! CHEMICALS MANUFACTURER MURDERED!

Death of a great man

“Friedrich Bollig was not only an outstanding comrade-in-arms in the struggle for a clean future. He was a friend. All who knew him will remember his consideration, kindness, and fairness. As the head of one of the last family-owned concerns in our field, he worked indefatigably for the development of new remedies, particularly those used in the treatment of childhood diseases. Friedrich Bollig’s premature and tragic death is cause for universal grief.”
