True story - Back in 1967/8, I drove to work in Tonawanda NY past a factory named Riverside Chemical. They had stockpiles of palletized 55 gal drums, olive drab, with thin colored rings around the circumference. Some were orange, some red, and some purple. An AFRES co-worker told me they were the infamous Agent Orange defoliants.

Riverside Chemical either quietly went out of business or moved, sometime in the 70's. The land was bulldozed flat. It was still unoccupied, the last time I went by, a few years ago.
