The Unwanted Foam Known as Oasis

摘要

A 1962 photo shows how Oasis was molded in giant blocks, with mold-release paper on the outside that had to be scraped off by hand. The block was then cut into retail-sized pieces.Vernon Lewis (V.L) Smithers may have been the original namesake of Smithers-Oasis, but he had no idea that he was going to revolutionize both the floral and greenhouse industries when he bought the rights to an unusual ridged foam that two other companies had given up on.
