content: Joseph R. France (1847-1895) was an Englishman who moved to the United States in 1868, worked in the paper business and, following the introduction of celluloid developed by John Wesley Hyatt, became interested in gun-cotton. France and others formed the Cellonite Co. in 1883. That firm moved to Arlington, N.J., 1885, and was renamed the Arlington Manufacturing Co. DuPont purchased the firm and factory for $8 million, in 1917.
