n the mid-1970s, Fisher
Controls Company promoted
ac 2 and dc 2 products using
2-page, color advertisements.
Each advertisement told the
story of a customer success.
Here were the headlines:
“If our process acts up, we can
pin down the problem in five
minutes with Fisher ac 2.”
“Fisher takes the heat off
recovery control.”

“Since we put a Fisher dc 2
computer in, we’ve taken 3%
more ammonia out.”
“Start-up couldn’t have been
smoother. Better yet is how well
it stays up.”
“We don’t get bad batches
anymore, thanks to the Fisher
computer.”
No boiler control downtime. No
wonder they bought ac 2 again.
“Every day, we make this much
more than we used to.”
“Our old recipes and the new
Fisher computer make perfect
batches time after time.”
