Written on back: "Everfast's brocaded 'Everglaze' cotton with sequin and bugle bead embroidery in Pageant Gown created by Kiviette, and executed by Helene Pons."
Schenectady NY- How the M-7 tank killers built here are now spearheading the Allied rout of Rommel was described here today by Major General Russell L. Maxwell, Commander of US armed forces in the Middle East who directed US North African Military...
With the public demanding faster more stylish cars, Ford created the 1928 Model A. The new car was so popular it was literally mobbed in the showrooms. Model A Fordor Sedans like this one cost about $600, not much more than a comparable Model T,...
Ingots ready for moving to rolling mill soaking pits. Ingots have been stripped and were probably stored until needed. The worker painting something on the end of a ingot is most likely testing for composition. The photograph's composition...
Nylon 66 polymer, the type which was later commercialized, was first synthesized in February, 1935. In one year, more than 50 other nylon polymers were made with a simple glass apparatus like that pictured here. This phase of the work was one step...
An important outgrowth of an industrial development is new employment. Nylon has created, in the DuPont Company alone, more than 7,000 new jobs, many of which are in the sizing operation-a major step in the production of nylon yarn. This photo, at...

Autoclaves in DuPont nylon plants. In these receptacles the chemical process known as polymerization takes place. In other word, small molecules join together to make large ones and nylon polymer is created.

An air view of the DuPont Company's plastic plant at Parkersburg, West Virginia. Called the Washington Works, the plant has grown steadily since the start up in 1948. As a result, well over 1,000 new jobs have been created. The plant manufactures...
Laboratory apparatus of various types is used by DuPont researchers in their studies. Here, in a Plastics Department laboratory at the Experimental Station, a scientist tests a catalyst he created for inducing reactions to produce high polymers,...
