WILMINGTON, Del, July T.
Good roads and good schools have
been two outstanding contributions
to the state of Delaware from the du
Pont family. Senator Coleman du
PonG and Pierre du Pont have been
the most liberal donors.
The Senator built some foru mil
lion dollars worth of stone road and
presented it to the State with q
gesture-"here are your roads. Keep
them up in the style they should
be-"
Only $4,000!
Senator du Pont, a colorful char
acter with apparently tremendous
capacity for work as well as for
play, is known as the only du Pont
who really is self-made, since he in
herited only about $4,000. 1t was
in the coal mines of Kentucky and
Pennsylvania he became wealthy. He
was not associated with the family
company until he was called in 1902
to its presidency.
It was under his presidency, a
matter of Is years, that the du Pont
company changed from mere $780,
100000 corporation to 00,000, 600
one-and he got out before the war
profits began to roll in.
Today he is practically the only
du Pont who has no stock in the du
Pont company. AS a Senator he Is
inconspicuous. AS business man
he is a colossal figure.
A Little Realty
The famous 100 Broadway Office
building in New York belongs to
him, as does the Equitable building.
He bought the control of the Equi-
table Life from the Morgans. He
owns chain of hotels among which
are such important ones as the
Waldorf and McAlpin in New York,
the Bellevue Stratford in Philad-
elphia, and the New Willard in
Washington.
He goes to work as early as 5 in
the morning, finishes by 8 or 10,
and spends the rest of the day play
ing. He is an~artist at legerdemain,
and can produce the rabbit from the
hat or the hard-boiled egg from an
ear with professional smoothness.
Education's Friend
Pierre du Pont, the Senator's cou-
sin, is as interested in education as
Coleman is in roads. He presented
four million dollars worth of school
buildings to the State and then &C.
cepted the job of State school tax
commissioner at $4,000 year to
show how taxes should be levied and
collected.
Alfred /. du Pont is a talented
musician. But better even than
music he likes machinery.
The du Points check up constantly
on the sons Of their employees, and
invite all the ambitious ones to come
into the company.
A country club has been provided
for du Pont employees, with golf
