Has Been A Constructive Company Since 1902
An Products Nearly
in the Land S Company

lseat covers for chairs, and othel
places where leather was for
merly used. Millions of auto
mobiles during the past season
have been equipped with Du'
Pont leather.
The company is constantly ex
panding their industrial activi
ties until today there is not &
family in the land that is not
using some of their products in
one form or another.
In order to give our readers
some idea of the large number
of products which this company
manufactures in their various
plants scattered throughout the
country we find the following;
Charcoal, wood flour, refined
nitrate Of soda, sulphate, Fab
rikoid feathers, curtains, chemi-
Gals, flexible glass, ivory sheet
ing, wood oil, nitric acid, salt,
metal scrap, bags, barrels, bur-
lap, lead, iron and steel drums
and explosives.
The greater part of the eel
oloid collars worn in the United
States come from the DUPONT
company.
In a recent booklet issued by
the Dupont company which has
come into our possessions we
find the following very interest
ing article which will be of in
terest to many for it gives some
idea of the different activities of
this company along constructive
lines.
To majority of the public the
name Dupont suggests military
powder--munitions of war.
This announcement tells the
truth and shows the error of the
popular idea.
Since 1902 the DuHont organi-
zation has been a constructive
force in the building of this
Nation.
When Thomas Jefferson urged
E. l. du Pont de Nemours to es-
tablish powder factory on the
banks of the Brandywine, he
doubtless had in mind the nee
essity of having in this country
a source of powder for defence
against Indians, wild beasts and
possible invaders, But it is GER
tain that his principal idea was
that such an industry would
help Americans in conquering
the primeval forest and in pro-
viding food through game shoot
ing.
For ten years the establish
ment of the Dupont powder
works it's product was used only
for constructive purposes. The
company's files contain a letter
from Thomas Jefferson ordering
a supply of powder for making
a road on his farm.
1t is a fact that since 1912 our
Government has depended large
ly on the Dupont company for
it's supply of military powder.
But at no time has it been for
the financial advantage of the
Du Pont Company for the
United States to be at war.
Why?
Because the principal business
of the company is constructive,
and construction fourishes only
in time of peace; the railroads
that span the continent and the
Panama Canal that cleaves it

A Good Deal of Interest
Centered in Campaign
State and County Officers

This Time.

deal of interest centered in the
primaries which will be held
throughout the state next Tues
day. and it is likely that large
vote will be polled throughout
the state. In Bayfield, county
the primaries will be particularly
interesting as there are a num-
ber of contests for county offices
which will bring out a large vote.
The Democratic, Prohibition
and Socialist tickets contain but
the names of one candidate for
Office, but on the Republican
ticket there is a different story
with tive or mere candidates out
for every office with the ex-
ception of a few county Offices.
For Governor four candidates
seek the nomination, E. l.. Phil
lipp, the present Governor, and
Don C. Hall of Stevens Point,
William H. Hatton of New Lon
don and Francis E. McGovern of
Milwaukee. This race is a very
spirited one.
The race for United States
Senator between Robert M. La
Toilette and Malcolm C. Jeffries
is developing into quite a pOliti-
cal battle with the chances
favoring the Senior Senator from
Wisconsin.
The Stalwarts and Progress
ives each have a candidate in
the field for the balance of the
State Offices.
Congressman l. l.. Lenroot
has opposition for the nomination
for Congressman in the person
of Harry w. Jossart but that
opposition will amount to but
little.
In the county the scrap is
lively, especially is this true in
the race for the nomination for
sheriff. where seven candidates
seek the place. They are James
A. LaLond of Washburn, Max
Happle and Andy Murray of
Iron River, Eben Olson of Port
Wing, James N. Long and G. E.
Patterson of Bayfield,, A. P.
Stone of Washburn town.
For county Clerk Nels M.
Oscar and Harvey Irish seek the
nomination and the contest is
developing into an interesting
one with the odds favoring the
present incumbent Mr.. Oscar.
For District Attorney three
candidates seek the nomination,
all being from Washburn. They
are Charles F. Morris, E. c.
Alvord and A. M. Warden.
The race for State Senator
between A. H. Wilkinson of
Bayfield, and Hubert H. Peavey
of Washburn has developed into
a warm one with the Progress
ives supporting Mr.. Peavey while
the Stalwart faction is backing
Mr.. Wilkinson.
The race between Gilbert
Deniston of Bayfield, and Walter
A. Duffy of Moquah for the
nomination for Assemblyman is
also developing and promises to
be a close contest.

DUPONT" suggests high explo-
sives of some kind or other and
very few, if any, people outside
| of the office Of this great Ameri-
can Manufacturing Institution
have known that their products
go into nearly every household
| in the land in some form or
other, other than explosives.
One of the immense plants OF
the DUPONT company is located
within four and one half miles
of Washburn and here millions
of dollars have been expended
in building up a great manu-
featuring institution which en-
ploys upwards of sixteen hum
dred men. Here as in other
places this plant is known as
''the dynamite plant, 1.-The
powder works" or the "muni-
tions plant" and very few peo-
pie think of it as a manufacture
ing plant whose products are
numerous, but to most people
the idea has been conveyed that
this company manufactures
nothing but powder, dynamite
or munitions of war in some
form or other.
Were this company to depend
upon the revenue derived from
the sale of their products to
warning nations it would have
long ago ceased to exist, but
this being a constructive COM
pany it has done much toward
opening up the United States to
civilization through the use of
it's products. In war times this
constructive business is cut off
to a certain degree and the busi-
ness flourishes much better in
times of peace.
The non-eXplosives manu-
factured by this great American
institution are gradually becom-
ing greater and greater and to-
day we find over 125 lines of
manufacture which must use the
products of the DUPONT COM
pany.
In the chemical field this COM
pany is developing into a great
company and while the informa-
tion has not been given out by
company officials, yet it is the
believe of people who are
familiar with the company, that
eventually the plant at Barks-
dale will become an important
one in the manufacture of
chemicals, dyes, etc. This COM
pany is the largest manufacturer
of anaesthesia ether in the |
United States, and since the
outbreak of the present Europ-
can war the company has be-
come heavy manufacturer of
chemicals of all kinds.
Moving picture men probably
do not know that this company
sells carloads of the basic
material of which moving pic
ture and hand camera films are
made.
Were it not for this company
the price of leather in the United
States would undoubtedly be so
per cent more than it is at the
present time. One of the great
by-products of this company is
Fabrikoid, a leather substitute,
with which many of the auto
mobile coverings are made.
Fabrikoid is also used in place of
leather in the manufacture of
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1916-08-31

were all the products of ex-
plosives.
This is also true of iron, copper
lead, zinc, silver, gold and other
metals. Your modern office
building is the child of ex-
plosives--dynamite blasted the
rock for it's deep-seated piers,
Dynamite mined the iron ore
from which the steel was made.
Dynamite quarried the rock of
which the concrete is formed.
The farmers of America use
about 25,00O,000 pounds of dy-
Mantle a year for clearing land,
draining swamps, planting trees
and breaking impervious sub
soils.
Thus it is obvious that so far
as the United States are con-
cerned, Dupont sales of military
powder represent only a small
portion of the company's busi-
ness in explosives--so small in
fact that were it not for the sale
Of powder for hunting and trap
shooting, the smokeless powder
mills could not be maintained at
a profit.
Non-Explosive Products
Through the Fabrikoid Com
pamy we are the worlds largest
manufacturers of leather SUBJ
stitutes, 60 per cent of the mil
lion odd 1916 cars are being up
holstered in Fabrikoid. 1t is
also largely used in the manu-
facture of furniture, carriages,
boats, trunks, bags and novel;
ties.
1t is safe to say that were it
not for the relief afforded the
leather market by Fabrikoid
your shoes would cost you at
least 80 per cent more.
We also own the Arlington
Company, a leading maflufac-
turer Of ivory and shell substi-
tutes in toilet specialties, and
the worlds largest manufacturer
of the flexible windows of auto
curtains.
If you wear a cleanable collar,
the chances are it is one of our
products. We sell hundreds of
thousands.
In the chemical field we are
an important factor, We are
the largest American manufac-
turers Of anaesthesia ether,
which makes possible the won
ders of modern surgery.
We sell in carloads the basic
material of which moving pic
ture and hand camera films are
made. The brilliant lustre of
patent leather is obtained with
our product. The laquer on
your silverWare and electric fix
lures was probably made by us.
We are constantly expanding
our industrial activities along
constructive lines, and we want
m every house, in every factory, |
in every office, a friendly feel
ng towards this pioneer Ameri-
,an concern. There is not man |
nor woman, nor concern that |
cannot use some Dupont Product |
advantageously.
This booklet lists 251 distinct |
we make and sell.
To all interested in the pos
;ibilities of American manufac-
;ure this book will prove an in
;eresting and instructive revela-
ion.

that there was nothing in the recent state
ment made by DR.. Won Bethmann Hollweg,
the German Imperial Chancellor, that indi-
Gated that Germany was prepared to con-
slider terms of peace, which would safeguard
the interests of the Entente Allies and The
future peace of Europe. Mr.. Asquith said
he did not think he could usefully add any
thing to the speech made last week by
Sir Edward Grey. Sir Arthurs question
apparently was designed finally to set
at rest any suggestion that the Entente
Allies were prepared to accept inter
vention. In putting his question, he re-
ferred to the fact that in the German reply
to the latest American Note, it was pointed
out that Germany had twice announced her
readiness to make peace. He then asked
whether the Allies were prepared to avail
themselves of the good offices of q
Neutral State in order to communicate to
the German Government definite terms on
which they would be willing to make peace,
provided the German Government was pre-
pared to make in the same way and at the
same time q communication TO the Allies of
definite terms en- which Germany was willing
to make peace.

London, June 1st-Lieutenant Sir Ernest
ShackletOn,t the antarctic explorer, has arrived
at Per Stanley, Falkland Islands. The expe-
dition had Il remarkable escape. In the
early part of 1915 the Lieutenant's ship en-
durance" was badly nipped by great icebergs
and afterwards foundered. Sir Ernest sue
ceeded in getting off all his men and some
stores. Terrible privations were suffered.
After a most hazardous journey the explorer
reached Elephant Island. The scarcity of
food became so serious that he decided 10
leave the greater part of his men, while he set
off for help. Rations for the men left behind,
were slowed in q hole dug in the ice. After a
journey of three weeks such as is proba-
bly, unique in the annals of Antarctic eX-
petitions, Sir Ernest reached South Geor-
gia. They sought the assistance of whal-
ers for the rescue of the party on Elephant
Island but this proved impossible, owing
to the prevalence of unfavourable weather
conditions. A whaler will be sent from the
Falkland Islands to rescue the m0rooned
men.

our positions upon the eastern slopes of
the Hill, was completely repulsed by our
fire. On the right bank Of the river, the
artillery fighting has become exceedingly
intense to the west and also to the east of

NEW YORK, July 17.-General
Cipriano Castro waited impaticntly to-
day for the commissioner general Of
immigration to act upon his appeal
from an order Of the board Of
inquiry at the local immigration
station for his deportation.
The former president OF Venezuela,
who arrived here Saturday with his
wife from Port Of Spain, Trinidad,
said If his case was not decided fay-
orably he would ask his attorney to
sue out a writ OF habeas corpus.
It was by means Of such "a writ
that General Castro obtained his
liberty when he came three years
ago. AT that time he voluntarily left
the country before his appeal from
an order similar TO that made today
by the board Of inquiry was heard.
His exclusion is based on charge
of moral turpitude.
General and Mrs. Castro occupy
comfortable quarters at the immi-
grafton station on Ellis island, where
four servants attend to their wants.
