grove, n. J., is an epic OF the world
war.
Conceived as the logical place for the
erection Of a plant for the Wilmington
firm to carry out great powder con-
tracts let TO the dupont interests by
allied governments, the works at Car
neys Point turned out to be one Of the
principal sources of high explosives
for the United states army and navy
after this country declared war on Ger
many.
one Of the first big plants to be erect
ed in this country for the manufacture
Of explosives for the Allies, the Car
ney's Point plant early became the cen
ter Of series of German and Austrian
intrigues, but throughout IL all the vast
majority Of the workers remained loyal
to their employers and the stream OF
ammunition poured forth in a continu-
Gus flow
Hundreds OF buildings, most OF
which are the familiar One-story frame
powder shacks, erected in this form
because such buildings are less menace
to workers, improve the site OF the
plant. -
In the first flow Of prosperity, Penns-
grove proved entirely too small to
handle the thousands Of workers who
poured in from all parts Of the country
to get in on the big wages.
Wilmington was accessible by ferry
and many OF the workers sought homes
here, but powder plants near this city
also called workers from afar, and soon
the necessity Of building a separate city
for the workers at the Carney's Point
works was seen.
