Dii Ponts Have Midas Touch; Millions Pour Into Coffers as Though by Magic

Early in the present decade the du Ponts bought a little block of General Motors stock. Now the block is worth so many millions they can’t be counted. Pierre S. du Pont (left), former president of the parent du Pont coroporation, now is vice chairman of the board of directors. The youthful Francis Victor du Pont (right) has been among other things a member of the State Highway Commission of Delaware.

Explosives First, but Huge Companies Make 1,200 Other Articles. In this second of four stories about the du Ponts. of Delaware. Hortense Saunders tells how chemistry’s magic built the great Uu Pont Industrial enterprises and one of the world 3 largest family fortunes. BY HORTENSE SAUNDERS NBA Service Writer WILMINGTON, Del., July 6 Though the du Pont name most commonly is associated with dynamite and gun powder, it also should usggest the baby’s teething ring, your near-silk stockings, the paint on the auto and the new living room suite upholstery that can’t be \ told from leather. Besides explosives, the du Pont Company manufactures some 1,200 articles. If they wanted to, the du Ponts could be practically independent of the rest of the world. They seldom would have to buy for their personal use anything manufactured by anybody* else. Chemistry Did It They have carried chemical processes into industry to an extent no other great intrepreneurs have approached. Most du Pont products are fashinoed from cotton fibre and acids. „ . Back in 1802 the first du Pont powder factory was built in Wilmington at the suggestion of Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson loved to hunt, and he found American ammunition abominable. He suggested to his friend Eluthere Irenee du Pont, who had

studied chemistry' and learned the manufacture of gunpowder from Lavoisier, in France, that he help out an honest sportsman. The Beginning Du Pont brought machinery over from France and installed it on the banks of the Brandywine. This was the beginning of the great du Pont enterprises which now supply commodities to every country on earth. Today only the general offices and an experimental station are in Wilmington. The thirty other du Pont plants ar% scattered to the four winds. Dynamite and “rayon” lingerie are at least? first cousins, it seems from chapters in the du Pont industrial romance. Born along with them, in du Pont factories, from the same stock, are such offspring as pyralin toilet sets, motion picture film, dyes, dice, handbags, and perfume bottles. After the War Until the World Wsr, explosives remained the principal du Pont manufacturing interest. Wartime demand for munitions material brought great expansion of the du Pont facilities. Then after the war, some other use of these facilities had to be'sound. The du Ponts had been carefully figuring all the time just how the raw products and chemicals used in big quantities for war purposes could bo treated a little differently and made into household necessities. It was sismple. They treated cotton fibre with coal tar derivatives, glycerines, solvents, and the like. Presto! On the world market went rayon fabric, cellephane, dyestuffs,

films, varnish, composition leather, and a multitude of other things. The Midas Touch If the du Ponts made a lot of money on munitions, they made much more on peacetime products after the war ended. At the beginning of the present decade, looking about for some place to invest the family surplus, Pierre S. du Pont happened upon General Motors stock. This bit of fusion on his part has almost ovemhadowed everything else in filling the du Pont coffers to overflowing. Asa corporation, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company control 21 per cent of the stock of General Motors. Individual du Ponts have large additional General Motors holdings. Profits Are Enormous At the end of 1921, the du Pont investment in General Motors represented about $80,000,000. Later a big block of this stock was sold to the Managers Securities corporation, which is owned by key executives of the du Pont concern. But the first o' 1927 saw some $295,005,000 worth still in du Pont hands. Six months afterward, the value of the General Motors investment had mounted to figures that the average person scarcely can comprehend. Stock dividends and increase in the price of General Motors stock on the New York Stock Exchange are estimated by some experts to have added to the du Pont fortune not less than a half billion dollars. NEXT: Coleman du Pont. Uni tea States Senator, and some other du Pont personalities.

SHEFFIELD TO SEE COOUDGE. TMFN RESIGN Ambassador Is Expected to Quit Mexico City Post; Health Failing. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Pres* Stsff Correspondent RAPID CITY,. S. D.. July 6.—The “ticklish” though not critical state of Mexican affairs, and problems which may follow the expected resignation of James R. Sheffield, ambassador to Mexico, were presented to President Coolidge today by news that Sheffield would arrive here tonight for a conference. A year ago Sheffield came to Paul Smith's, N. Y., where the President was on his vacation, and urged upon the chief executive a more stringent policy toward Mexico. Since that time relations have been disturbed by refusal of Mexico to follow the wishes of the United States in her land law situation. Likewise, expulsion of certain Catholic clergy from the country has resulted in protests from the Knights of Columbus and other Catholic organizations in this country. Expected to Resign Those close to the President here make no secret of their belief t.h-.t Sheffield will resign and that Mr. Coolidge will accept his resignation. His health has not profited by the climate of Mexico City. He wanted to resign last year, but was urged to stay, so that policies then contemplated could be developed. Sheffield’s health is unimproved and while Mr. Coolidge is portrayed as being entirely sympathetic with all the work the ambassador has been doing there, the chief executive has indicated that he believes the present situation will permit Sheffield's retirement. The Mexican situation was thrust before the President following his trip yesterday to the Belle Fourche roundup, big show of the west, where cowboys and cowgirls vied in the arena with wild horses, steers, cows, calves and bucking bronchos. One steer and one calf had to be shot because of unruliness or disablement, but the shooting was done quietly and few in the crowd knew about it. President’s Entry Wins Wild horse riding was the big spectacle of the day and the President’s own entry, ‘Dakota Clyde” Jones, keeper of horses at the summer White House, was victor. The horses were sufficiently wild to break through the fence surrounding the race track twice. Several accidents narrowly were averted by skill of the cowboys and the whole race struck fear into the hearts of the President, Mrs. Coolidge and other Easterners seated in low-built wooden boxes at the starting point. The idea of the race was to saddle a wild horse and run him around the track once. The first to pass under the wire was the winner. It required half an hour to bring twenty wild horses int" the track and some were so unruly that they never were saddled. They never had been ridden •before. The 15,000 persons from Western States, who crowded the arenr were enthusiastic in praise of President Coolidge. Sor.gs were sung pledging that “South Dakota will vote for you next fall.”
