VISITING The WAR
BRIDES.
III.-The House of
Du POnt.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

WILMINGTON. Del. October 81
This is the home Of the liveliest of all
the war Brides" and the visitor does
not have to wander far to find evidence
of the fact. The great du Pont strue-
ture at 10th and Market streets, com
bined office building, hotel and theater.
overlapping everything else in town,
is the center Of Wilmington's industrial
life. 1t shelters a business that has
brought millions in foreign orders to
the United States, made numerous for
tunes great and small. and employed
The figures tell the story. When the
war broke out du Pont powder stock
was selling for about 80. Within a few
months it jumped to 800 The three
companies that are controlled by the
du Pont interests already owned nearly
the United States. The capacity of
these was multiplied in month"; and
whole new towns of portable houses
constructed to shelter the workers. 1t
must be conceded that the rapidity and
success with which du Pont powder
rose to its opportunity is one of the
most capable feats of Industrial gen
eralship brought out by the war.
In August last the increased business
of the du Pont company necessitated a
reorganization. 1t was incorporated in
the state of Delaware for S240O00, OG0
a feature of the reorganization was

given contracts for the duplicating of
all the machinery in the du Pont
plants.
The story of Du Pont is not that OF
an individual. but of Il family, and it
is over CEN
Story of Du Pont Is fury old. Ever
One Of Family. wa a founded in
1902. the du Points have lived in Will
mington. and have given the business
a degree of personal attention rather
unusual in families that have been
wealthy for several generations. All
of the presidents of the company have
been du Points. and Of most OF them
stories are told illustrating their per-
soEal devotion to the fortunes of the
concern. One of them was killed while
trying to put out blaze in one of the
mills. OF Pierre du Pont. the present
head of the corporation. it is told that
during fire in one of the factories. he
approached fireman who was risfing
his life in playing a stream of water
upon a blaze, and took the nozzle
from his hands, saying:
Excuse me, but you have my job.
SO it has become a tradition that a
company in person, and that his shall
be the place of danger in emer-
gency.
OF more significance than their devo
ton to the business which has made
their name known round the world, is
the loyalty of the du Points to the
United States government. Every
president Of the company. except the
last two, has furnished powder to Uncle
Sam with which to fight his wars. Eleu-
POnt 10
called upon to furnish the powder that
won the war of 1872. Alfred du Pont
made the powder that was used in the
war with Mexico. Henry du Pont.
president of the concern from 1850 to
1889. supplied the Union forces with
powder throughout the civil war. When
the Spanish-American war broke out
the United States government did not
have enough powder to properly sup
ply a single battleship, and Eugene
du Pont was the man who solved that
problem.

prices or increase its profits in any way
1t is also a matter of record that the
du Points have helped Uncle Sam to
make his own powder. They have
placed their formulas and trade secrets
at the disposal of the government.
The men who have been the generals
of the company since the war broke
out in Europe are T. Coleman du Pont
and Pierre S. du Pont. The former re-
signed his position this year, giving as
his reason that he wanted to make
room for younger men. He is now the
head of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society. T. G. du Pont was one of the
most energetic of all the companys
long line of presidents, and the one
who achieved the greatest local fame.
He built the du Pont stronghold in
