STOCKINGS FROM COAL
And They Say They
Won't Run!
December 9, 1939.
WILMINGTON, Dol. - A shovelful of coal, a pallful of water and some good fresh air furnish the basic materials for the now chemically made hosiery given its introduction to the public in local stores.
The new textile fibre promises to become celebrated if the coal and other ingredients prove to give the long wearing qualities promised, Sheerness and beauty are also claimed.
Because of the smallness of the supply, sale will be restricted to this elty for the present.
These first sales are from yara made by the experimental pilot plani and are preliminary to Nation-witc introduction in 1940 by hosiery manu- facturers, For the presunt these stockings will carry no brand name, but will be marked Nylon. From the viewpoint of the du Pont Company, originators of the new product, these over-the-counter sales will culminate extensive experimental work in co- operation with the hosiery industry.
The limited sale is expected to give preliminary tests of practicability and permit impartid judgment of its merits. The SATT has 1л clnstle quality that is said to enable it to endure a much greater amount of pulling, twisting, and chafing than rayon, mude from wood pulp.
Three types of hosiery are being offered, ranging in price from $1.15 a pair to $1.35, depending on the weight desired.
The same materials that go into nylon are also being manufactured lo bristles for hairbrushes. At one the China and Siberia suppiled a large percentage of the world's supply of pure hog's bristles, but war Inter- fered with this normal trade. To- day this necessity is being met
тоге chemically. Last year
than 40,000,000 tons of coal were used for chemical purposes, a du Pont spokes- man disclosed."
