The announcement that Gen. Cole
man du Pont has accepted the Presi-
dency OF the Industrial Finance Cor
poration-the parent institution of
the 100 Morris Plan companies in the
United states-draws public attention
again to one OF the most striking
personalities in American industry
and finance.
The name OF du Pont Is as closely
and as consptciously-ide with
powder as that OF Rockefeller is with
oil. Yet Gen. du Pont has retired
from active business with a fortune Of
his own making, before he had any
thing to do with explosives. Nor was
his father q powder-maker. His
grandfather, however. was the found
er OF the powder business with which
the name has been connected for over
a century, and which has grown to be
the greatest plant OF its kind in the
world.

where he studied engineering. From
Reston he made his way to Central

that came his way. An all-nround
athelete, measuring over six foot
three and weighing two hundred and
ten pounds, yet capable Of covering
100 yards in ten seconds, he throve on
this sort Of work, and fortified a con-
stitution that makes light Of tasks
that would overtax any man OF ordi-

By the time he was thirty, Cole

ager, and he quickly learned the steel
business. A few years later he be-
came interested in building and run
ming railways in Pennsylvania, New
Jersey New York and Alabama. At
thirty-seyen he retired from active
business and went to Wilmington,
