Milk Replaces Beer

Wilmington has about 141 saloons
and what will become of them when
prohibition goes into effect July LIST is
a question. Probably the location of a
creamery here will help solve the prob
lem.

of Concordville, Pa, has purchased
two properties in Wilmington at a cost
of 500, 900. Plans to erect a large
ice cream manufacturing and cream
cry plant at a cost of $175,000 has

Great Men In Industry

The DUPONT Company has reorgan-
lied its administrative personnel to
meet the new commercial conditions
which face it in readjusting itself from
a war to a peace basis. Radical
changes were made at a meeting of
the Board of Directors Saturday, 10Th.
They become effective May list.
Pierre S. DUPONT, who has been
president since 1915, a period cover
ing the war activities of the Company,
will retire from that official position
and become Chairman of the Board.
He will be succeeded by Irenee du
Pont, who has been Chairman IF the
Executive Committee.
The new Executive Commute will
be made up OF a few of the old mem
bers, with the addition of new men,
who have been in charge of depart
ments eff the Company's affairs which
now come to the front in a much more
important way. On them will be
placed the responsibility for future de-
velopment and management of these
various lines of industry.
The new members become directors
of the Company also.
TINS plan OF reorganization is a rec
ognition of the responsibility which
big business feels toward the devel-
opment of the nations interests in
general as against the old idea of in
dlvidualism in commercial enterprises.
The president of the Company in
recommending these changes said that
he was OF the opinion that another
turning point had been reached in the
conduct of the affairs of E. l. dupont,
de 5femours q Company and he
thought it well that the second line of
men in the Company's organization be
brought TO the front to meet these new
conditions.
The new Executive Committee will
consist of Lamont DUPONT, a present
member, who will become Chairman;
+. ID. Brown, Treasurer of the Com
pany, who is also now on the commit
tee; f. W. Pickard, Vice President, in
charge of the Sales Department, who
was recently elected a member of the
committee and the following new
members:
Walter S. Carpenter, -I., Charles A.
Meade, Charles A. Patterson, William
c.. Spruance, A. Felix DUPONT, J. B. D.
Edge.
The retiring members of the Execu-
tive Committee, who will become mem
bers of the enlarged Finance Commit
tee, are:
H. F. Brown, r. R. M. Carpenter,
William Coyne, F. L. Connable, H. G.
Haskell, F. G. Tallman.
The present members are:
Pierre S. DUPONT, Chairman; Irenee
DUPONT, John j. Raskob, H. F. DUPONT,
Lamont DUPONT, making a new COM
mittee Of eleven members.
1t will be noticed there are duPonts
on each organized board Of this great
Company which has been in existence
115 years. No other company in
America, if in the world, has retained
its identity with one family who have
maintained brainy scions to study and
know the details and maintain the eX-
ecutive ability as this family has.
While several are multimillionaires
yet they never got too proud to work
with their brains and hands and main
tain a democratic disposition with
their wOrkmen.
The world democracy owes much to
the DUPONT family for their industry
and skill for delivering the explosive
goods which saved the day, notwith-
standing they We're 5000 miles away.

Fish More Plentiful

Seaford, Del, April 21.-There was
a decided drop in the fish market on
Saturday, due to a large quantity be-
ing shipped here from Crisfield and

Up For Repairs

The yacht Geisha, owned by the
dupont Company and used throughout
the winter to carry employees daily
between Wilmington and the plants at
Deep Water Point, across the river,
has been laid up for repairs and a
general overhauling.
Instead of crossing the river on the
Geisha the dupont employees now go
by the Wilson line steamer Brandy
wine. Several hundred men make the
trip. Heretofore the employees were
carried free by the Company on the
Geisha. Now they pay their own
fares on the Brandywine, amounting
to nearly 81 monthly.
