Speaker 2 (00:39):
Grant.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It begins in the year eighteen forty three as a
lone rider wearing the uniform of a second lieutenant in
the United States Army gallops through a patch of heavily
wooded country just outside Saint Louis, Missouri. Suddenly a small
child steps out of a picket directly in his path.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Hey, a little girl, don't you know better than to
do that?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Oh what are you doing out here in the woods
all by yourself?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Aren't you afraid you will get captured by engines? Or lost?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I am lost? What's your name?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Rand? What's yours?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Emmy? And I'm eight years old?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Oh, Emmy, don't you think your mother will be mighty
worried where you are? What happened to you? Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
She doesn't care about me. Nobody cares. Julia is coming
home tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Oh, I see who's Julia?
Speaker 4 (01:27):
She's my sister. And she's away at school. She's seventeen.

prettiest little girls I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
I certainly do in my honor as an officer and
a gentleman.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Do you think I'm a pretty as Julia?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I don't know, Emmy, I've never seen Julia.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
When you see her, you'll never talk to me anymore.
That's the way it always is when Julia's home.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
The soldiers never even look at me.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Well, now, Ammy, I promise the next time I come
by this way, I'll talk to you and not to Julia.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
How's that?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Will? Were you really? And you won't even look at her?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Not so much as a peak?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
All right, I think I'll go home here.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
That's a good girl.

But if it's all the same to you, I'm sort
of obligated to take my first ride with a previous acquaintance.
Oh I refer, ma'am to your other daughter, Miss Emmy,
one of the prettiest females, by the way, I ever
saw in my whole life.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Oh me, is it all right with you? Miss Emmy?
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Emmie? Holla, Tenant, I love.

getting too hot for you.

are you thinking about? Oh?

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Whoa pompy?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Now? What's that you said? Emmy?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Will you marry me?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Well, now, young lady, that warrants a bit of discussion
and thinking about.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Oh, it's not that you are a pretty woman, of course,
only well you're kind of young, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Just eight?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Twelby nine and two months?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Well even nine?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Why didn't mean right away? Holloway?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well, now that's mighty kind of you, miss Emmy.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
When I'm seventeen as old as Julie, how old will
you be?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Let's see, now nine years, I'll be just about thirty one.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Oh, I think thirty one's a beautiful age to get married.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
It isn't bad, especially to.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
A slightly younger lady of seventeen.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Well, I've I've heard a stranger things happening.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
You did, did you? Oh? Sama? We engaged?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Well, miss Emmy, I wouldn't say engaged exactly. Let's say
we're considering each other.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Oh, oh my, no, I don't care if Julie does
come home. I found you first, and you're considering me.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
That's right. And now let's get going back with house,
shall we. His son's getting mighty hot, all right.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Julie must be home by now, and I can't wait
to tell her did he have pomping?
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Julie?
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Julie? Will you? Oh? Emmy, here, I am there in
the parlor. Come on, Sam, Oh, Emmy, what were you? Julie?
This is Sam an you, Lieutenant Grant? You're out right?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
How do you do?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Emmy? You'd better run upstairs and tell mother you're here.
She's very worried about you. Hurried? Why is she always
worried about me? Because you out so long in the sun.
Look how flushed your face is? It is not flushed.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I just got good color, that's all, Lieutenant. I do
think you might have brought her home a little sooner.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
She's not used to such.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
A long ride.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I'm sorry, miss Dana. I guess it was kind of thoughtless.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
It was not. Sam wanted to come home sooner, but
I wouldn't let him.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
We had something to discussion, all right, Emmy, But now
you better run upstairs and lie down I will not.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I'm gonna stay right here with Sam and Oh, Jarlan,
what's the matter. I feel kind of funny. Oh, Emmy, Emmy, heaven.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I guess that sun was too much. Carry her upstairs, please,
there we are.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Oh, the poor baby.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Just a touch of the sun and it's nothing to
worry about. I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Well, I hope so, Lieutenant Grant. We all love that
child very much, very much.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Do you understand?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yes, miss, she's real sweet, and that's a fact kind
of reminds me of my little sister.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I don't understand how what happened to let her go
out riding with a stranger, But I'm sure she didn't
intend you to be gone this long.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Neither did we miss. It just happened like that. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Oh yeah, I'll open the door there now. Put on
the bed, Lieutenant, I'll get somebody to fetch Doctor Cartwell.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Maybe I could go.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Miss Oh, I should say not.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
You've done enough damage for one day. We'd better send
somebody more reliable.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Come in. Oh, Miss Dent, how's emmy?
Speaker 6 (08:53):
She's fine. Doctor Cartwell says it was just a touch
of the sun.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Good bye.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I'd like to ask your forgiveness, lieutenant for having been
so rude.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I apologize, that's all right, miss Dan. I knew what
was the matter with her. I didn't take you too seriously.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Oh you didn't, no, ma'am.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
And why not?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
May I ask?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
You were kind of excited, and you just I was
not excited? All right, Let's just say you acted excited.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
I acted in no such way.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Well, I must say, yes, miss Dan, say what that?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
You're the most insufferable, impolite, unpleasant young man I've ever.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Met in all my life.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
All right, miss Dan, you said it.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Can I shall leave this room in a moment as
soon as I've given you the message from my mother.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yes, what is it?
Speaker 6 (09:37):
Will you go ride with me this afternoon?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Now?
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Please don't get the wrong impression, Lieutenant, this is not
my idea. It's only that my mother has certain thought
concerning the obligations of hospitality. I see, and I assure
you the prospect affords me no more pleasure than.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
It does you.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Very well, let's just forget it, then, shall we.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Oh? No, please, you've got to come.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I must why because I will think I.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Have not been sufficiently sincere and cordial and extending the
invitation she will think perhaps.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I have offended you, whereas of course you have been
the very soul of gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Please, Lieutenant, you must come, but it will be so
angry with me if you don't. Please very well.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I shall go riding with you this afternoon, Miss Death.
But as a favorite of me too helped my peace
of mind, kindly be so good as to leave your
horsewhip at home. I'll feel much safer them.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Shall we say? A three very pleasant country, don't you think, Missdabt?
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Yes, very pleasant?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Would you say those are prairie checking? Are quail? Miss debts?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Prairie chicking? I believe?
Speaker 6 (10:59):
Of Do you hunt?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Lieutenant?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Miss, I guess I don't like the idea of killing
animals anymore than I like killing men.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Isn't that rather strange coming from a soldier? Why did
you go to.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
West Point, lieutenant, to get an education?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
And what are you in ken doing with it?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Go back to the point in a year or so and.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Teach mathematics, although my pupils, I expect, will relish me
more in the soldier than in the scholar.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Well, Lieutenant, you had a quotation from.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Ocello, Ah surprised an army officer knows Shakespeare.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Well, yes, just a little.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I'll tell you how I come by it, if you
will promise not to breathe into a soul. I promise.
We gave a performance of a Fellow at Jefferson Barracks
last month. I was in it.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Oh you were? What part did you play?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
You promise not to tell anybody now? Yes, of course, Desdemona,
No you didn't.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Oh no, I don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
For one performance. Right after that they got in some
female from it. Sure was funny. All right, Hey, why
are you looking at me that way?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (12:08):
What were lieutenant?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I don't know? Sort of as though you never saw
me before?
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Did I? I'm sorry?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Well, I think it'd be sorry about only why did you?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
I think maybe it was because I was surprised at me.
I didn't know you could laugh that way?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Oh you thought I was one of those military ramrods.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
I'm afraid I did.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That's funny.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
What is liutenant?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Well?
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I kind of felt the same about you. I figured
you out for one of those stiff neck, domineering females.
You did, yes, and that beat everything? Say know something,
that's dad. I'm beginning to enjoy this ride. How about
coming out with me again tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Hu, No, now, Amy, put your head back on the pillar, dere,
and you must stop crying.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I don't want to stay in bed anymore.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Oh now, dear, you know, but doctor Cars will see.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I've been here three whole days already. I want to
get up. I want to be with Sam. Where is he?
Speaker 6 (13:20):
I don't know, Dear. I think he's out riding with
his sister Julia again.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
No, no, dearest, you mustn't.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Mommy, I saw him first, Yes, darling, of course you did.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
And I'm sure Julia, why I get hold of her,
I'll tell her, Mommy, he's mine.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
I love him, Darling. I don't excite yourself.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
It isn't good for you.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
And anyhow, I'm sure Julia isn't it all interested in
Lieutenant Grant.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Yes she is, I know it. What makes you say that?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Child?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
This morning, when they were both in here, I could tell,
How could you tell? Dear?
Speaker 4 (13:55):
She said she was glad Saminar was such good friends.
She looked at him funny, and then he said he
was glad too, and he looked at her funny, and
then they looked at each other.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
Now, Dear, I'm sure you must be mistaken.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
No, Mommy, I was watching. I'll bet she's trying to
get him herself right this minute.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Nice out here under the trees, is ma, Julia.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yes, it's where my brother Fred and I used to
play when we were children. Don't you think we better be.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Getting back in a minute, Julia, Yes, sir, I'm due
back at the barracks. Have going tomorrow. I'll be leaving
your place after supper tonight. Look, Julia, yes, sir, I
know that you and I. Oh, we didn't hit it
off so well at the beginning. It was my fault, Sam,
(15:05):
it was mine. Well, don't let's.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Get into an argument about that now, Julia. What I
want to know is, yes, Sam, well, are you engaged
or promise to anybody?
Speaker 6 (15:20):
No, Sam, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Is Is there anything else you want to ask me?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Nope?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Not.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Now this is far enough for one visit. Let's go
back to the house. Now, I got to pack.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
You are listening to the Cavalcade of America starring Ronald
Reagan in Ulysses in Love, sponsored by the dupam Come
makers of better things.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
For better living through chemistry.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
At the DuPont Company, we often find our products filling
needs we never dreamed of. For example, an alert manufacturer
from Bridgeport, Connecticut recently introduced a new device to make
it easier for women to do their nails, a polish
container and brush all in one. In this device, a
DuPont nylon plastic tube holds the nail polish. A little
(16:28):
brush is attached to one end for spreading the polish
on the nails. A gentle squeeze on the tube forces
enough polish onto the brush for each nail. There's no
bottle to upset and less chance of spilling polish on
your clothes when not in use. A metal cap lined
with nylon provides an attractive leakproof container you can carry
(16:49):
safely in your purse. So another job has been made
easier with the help of one of DuPont's Better Things
for better living through chemistry. The DuPont Cavalcade continues, starring
(17:13):
Ronald Reagan as Ulysses S.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Grant.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
A few weeks later, in his room at the barracks
just outside Saint Louis, Second Lieutenant Grant is talking to
his ex West Point roommate Fred Dent, who has just
come on from Washington, d C. So you've been up
to see the folks, I say, am, how's everybody? Oh fine, Fred,
Emmy had a touch of the sun. But Julia writes
me she's all right now.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh Julia rights you. Huh.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Well, it's just that I wrote her to thank her
for the nice visit I had, and she wrote me
to thank me for the letter I wrote thanking her.
Oh I see, I see you know, Sam, I might
just well tell you now, if you're really interested, there's
two people you got to convince outside of Julie.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Two Who are they?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Well, first there's me, he thinks you run out on it,
and then there's my father. And I don't think he'd
be too happy about it.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
But he doesn't even know me. He was away when
I was there. Oh, there isn't you, Sam. He just
doesn't like the army. He was against my going up
to the point.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
What's the matter with the army? What could a man
do that's more honorable? And we're the uniform of his
own comfort.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
He says there's no future in it, and no army
man should get married unless he's rich.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Well are you rich? Fred?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
All I got in the world is the sixty four
dollars pay I draw every month as a second lieutenant.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Yeah, you love her, Sam, Yes, I think I do. Fred, Well,
there's no man I know. I'd rather have her brother
in law. Thanks, that's your father I'm worrying about. Well,
why don't you go up and ask him? Ask him? Sucks.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
I haven't asked her yet. Maybe I will, though, maybe
i'll run up next month. Oh no, no, no, it'll
have to be before next month, Sam. As a matter
of fact, it'll have to be this week.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
This week.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Why well, I came on from Washington special Orders. Looks
like we're really going to have this war with Mexico
fourth Regiment. You're out for this leaven next week for
field maneuvers in Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
So if you're going up to see Julison, you better get.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Thanks Fred how Gold and ask the major for a
leave right now, Sir, lieutenant, you wish permission to marry
my daughter?
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Is that it?
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yes, Colonel Dent, I do a young man. You can't
have it, can't? May? I ask why? Colonel?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Here's because you're in the army. I disapprove of the army.
But sir, your own rank, you're a colonel, aren't you? That,
sir is purely honorary.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
But why, if I may ask for you disapprove so
strongly because I'm against man killing his fellow man? Well
so am I very much so, sir?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
But if we didn't have an army to defend us
it but it would be an invitation to any foreign
power to walk ry. You do not wish to debate
this matter with you, Lieutenant. There are also other reasons
why you cannot marry my daughter.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I'd like to hear them, Sir. Can you support her
on your army pa? Why not? She's willing. Other women
have married army office, and how happy are they? Tell
me my daughter has lived a good life.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Lieutenant, I am a rich man, and that brings me
to another point, asked Colonel, it is my belief, Lieutenant,
you wish to marry Julia for her money, Colonel Dent,
I wish to marry your daughter for herself. All I
ask of you is your blessing, and that's all I
shall ever ask.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Of you, Sir. I'll never give it to you, sir, never,
how if you'd excuse me, I will wish you good day?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Sam? Sam?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Who's that?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
It's me? Annie? Where are you right here behind the curtains.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
What am it come out here, a young lady? Perhaps
you would tell me what you're doing there?
Speaker 3 (20:54):
I was listening the one to find out what was
so important you had to say to Papa. Oh, Samuel
promised to wait for me.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Oh, I'm sorry, Emmy. Will you ever forgive me?
Speaker 6 (21:07):
I didn't think you were fickled, Emmy.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I've got a little brother home about your age. Maybe
i'll bring him around sometime.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Well? Is he older? A little bit older and golden in?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yes, he's almost twelve.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I think has he got ready here like you?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yes? He has? Yes?
Speaker 3 (21:30):
All right, Dan, I forgive you.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Sam. Oh, Julia, I just spoke to your father.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I know, dear, but I told him we were going
to be engaged anyhow.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
What did he say?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
He said I could do as I pleased about that
he did?
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Oh, Sam, I'm so happy.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Engaged, Darren gaze lady. Hush, Samuel.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
You write me every day, all right, Julie.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
I don't suppose there'll be a postman hanging around the
battlefield that regular though.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
And you'll be careful, Sam please for.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Me and for me too, I'll be careful. God bless
you both.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Goodbye Molino del Rey, Mexico. Fal conspicuous gallantry and action
in the Battle of Molino del Rey, breveted to First
(22:29):
Lieutenant Ulysses, says friends.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Chipota Beec, Mexico.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
A conspicuous bravery on the field, over and above the
call of duty in the storming of Chapoltapec breveted to
Captain Ulysses, and.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Welcome Captain Grant, welcome back to the plantation. Thank you,
Colonel dant Ah.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
I understand you acquitted yourself quite creditably on one or
two occasions down there in Mexico.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Well, sir, I'm just happened to be where things were
going on.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I see, and now the war's over. I suppose you've
come to clean your bride.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yes, where is Julie? Before you see?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
A Captain? There's something I should tell you. Perhaps it
will change your mind about Mary and my daughter. What
could that be, Colonel Captain Grant? The war has brought
many changes around here, Yes, sir, how's that will?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Many of the.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Plantation owners speculated rather heavily in certain commodities. Some of
them who were once wealthy, are poor men today. I'm
one of those who have lost everything. Captain.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I'm sorry to hear that, sir, you.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
May therefore consider yourself honorably released from your engagement to
my daughter. Sir, Colonel, I don't understand what's that to
do with. I have no dowry to offer with her, Sir.
If she comes to you, she comes without a pity.
Colonel Dent, I once told you all I ask of
you is your blessing. I met it then and I
(24:09):
mean it now and now. If you'll excuse me, sir.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Sam Oh, Darling, Julie, did father tell you about He
told me. I'm not worried, Darling. We'll be able to
live on your salary.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
I hope so, because I intend to stay in the army.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Whatever you say, I'm sure anything you make up your
mind to do, you're going to do well.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Well, Darren. We can only wait and see, just wait
and see well.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
For quite a long while, as time is reckoned, it
was hard to tell if a certain particular man was
going to get ahead.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
As we know, however, Ulysses S.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Grant became Commander in Chief of the Union Army, one
of the great figures to emerge from the Civil War,
and went on from that victory to hold the highest
office in the Land, President of the United States. Our
(25:43):
thanks to Ronald Reagan and the Cavalcade players for the
night story. Ulysses in Love and now Bill Hamilton speaking
for the DuPont Company. Just about a year ago, a
young man visited the DuPont Company's nylon display room in Wilmington, Delaware.
There he got a sighting idea that led him into
a brand new business venture. His idea was simply this.
(26:06):
Many people were heavy fleece lined overshoes in bad weather.
The same kind of overshoes made of a nylon fabric,
he reasoned, would keep out water just.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
As well as the old kind.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Nylon fleece, would make them warm and comfortable, and they
would be light weight, durable, and they would dry quickly.
So he, his brother and a friend went to work.
They convinced suppliers of nylon fabric that here was an
idea worthy of development. They learned how to sew the nylon,
how to attach the nylon fleece, how to fasten the
(26:40):
sturdy upper to a crape rubber sole, and in nine
months of hard work they solved a dozen or more
tough technical problems.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
They made boots and tested them, and.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Finally they had a product so good and so attractive
in appearance that a bank was willing to lend them
money to go into production. They looked into factory sites,
chose one at Malone, New York, and the businessmen of
Malone welcomed them. And so today there are new cold
weather boots on the market. There are new jobs in Malone.
(27:12):
There is a new business on the map of America.
Because three young men had the imagination, the courage, the
plain old fashioned gumption to try something that had never
been tried before. Once again, a small business has been
created through the use of nylon, one of the DuPont Companies,

It begins in the year eighteen forty three as a
lone rider wearing the uniform of a second lieutenant in
the United States Army gallops through a patch of heavily
wooded country just outside Saint Louis, Missouri. Suddenly a small
child steps out of a picket directly in his path.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Hey, a little girl, don't you know better than to
do that?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Oh what are you doing out here in the woods
all by yourself?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Aren't you afraid you will get captured by engines? Or lost?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I am lost? What's your name?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Rand? What's yours?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Emmy? And I'm eight years old?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Oh, Emmy, don't you think your mother will be mighty
worried where you are? What happened to you? Oh?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
She doesn't care about me. Nobody cares. Julia is coming
home tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Oh, I see who's Julia?
Speaker 4 (01:27):
She's my sister. And she's away at school. She's seventeen.
Do you think I'm pretty?

Well, let's see now, turn your face around a bit.

prettiest little girls I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
I certainly do in my honor as an officer and
a gentleman.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Do you think I'm a pretty as Julia?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I don't know, Emmy, I've never seen Julia.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
When you see her, you'll never talk to me anymore.
That's the way it always is when Julia's home.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
The soldiers never even look at me.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Well, now, Ammy, I promise the next time I come
by this way, I'll talk to you and not to Julia.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
How's that?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Will? Were you really? And you won't even look at her?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Not so much as a peak?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
All right, I think I'll go home here.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
That's a good girl.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Now, Amy, maybe you can tell me where I am
and how to get to the dent plantation.

Speaker 6 (03:54):
And it's all settled. My daughter Julia is coming home tomorrow.
She can show you all the old Indian ty mcmammy.

But if it's all the same to you, I'm sort
of obligated to take my first ride with a previous acquaintance.
Oh I refer, ma'am to your other daughter, Miss Emmy,
one of the prettiest females, by the way, I ever
saw in my whole life.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Oh me, is it all right with you? Miss Emmy?

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Now? What's that you said? Emmy?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Will you marry me?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Well, now, young lady, that warrants a bit of discussion
and thinking about.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Oh, it's not that you are a pretty woman, of course,
only well you're kind of young, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Just eight?
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Twelby nine and two months?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Well even nine?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Why didn't mean right away? Holloway?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well, now that's mighty kind of you, miss Emmy.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
When I'm seventeen as old as Julie, how old will
you be?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Let's see, now nine years, I'll be just about thirty one.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Oh, I think thirty one's a beautiful age to get married.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
It isn't bad, especially to.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
A slightly younger lady of seventeen.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Well, I've I've heard a stranger things happening.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
You did, did you? Oh? Sama? We engaged?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Well, miss Emmy, I wouldn't say engaged exactly. Let's say
we're considering each other.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Oh, oh my, no, I don't care if Julie does
come home. I found you first, and you're considering me.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
That's right. And now let's get going back with house,
shall we. His son's getting mighty hot, all right.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Julie must be home by now, and I can't wait
to tell her did he have pomping?
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Julie?
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Julie? Will you? Oh? Emmy, here, I am there in
the parlor. Come on, Sam, Oh, Emmy, what were you? Julie?
This is Sam an you, Lieutenant Grant? You're out right?
Speaker 2 (07:08):
How do you do?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Emmy? You'd better run upstairs and tell mother you're here.
She's very worried about you. Hurried? Why is she always
worried about me? Because you out so long in the sun.
Look how flushed your face is? It is not flushed.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I just got good color, that's all, Lieutenant. I do
think you might have brought her home a little sooner.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
She's not used to such.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
A long ride.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
I'm sorry, miss Dana. I guess it was kind of thoughtless.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
It was not. Sam wanted to come home sooner, but
I wouldn't let him.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
We had something to discussion, all right, Emmy, But now
you better run upstairs and lie down I will not.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
I'm gonna stay right here with Sam and Oh, Jarlan,
what's the matter. I feel kind of funny. Oh, Emmy, Emmy, heaven.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I guess that sun was too much. Carry her upstairs, please,
there we are.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Oh, the poor baby.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Just a touch of the sun and it's nothing to
worry about. I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Well, I hope so, Lieutenant Grant. We all love that
child very much, very much.
Speaker 6 (08:09):
Do you understand?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Yes, miss, she's real sweet, and that's a fact kind
of reminds me of my little sister.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I don't understand how what happened to let her go
out riding with a stranger, But I'm sure she didn't
intend you to be gone this long.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Neither did we miss. It just happened like that. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Oh yeah, I'll open the door there now. Put on
the bed, Lieutenant, I'll get somebody to fetch Doctor Cartwell.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Maybe I could go.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
Miss Oh, I should say not.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
You've done enough damage for one day. We'd better send
somebody more reliable.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Come in. Oh, Miss Dent, how's emmy?
Speaker 6 (08:53):
She's fine. Doctor Cartwell says it was just a touch
of the sun.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Good bye.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
I'd like to ask your forgiveness, lieutenant for having been
so rude.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I apologize, that's all right, miss Dan. I knew what
was the matter with her. I didn't take you too seriously.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Oh you didn't, no, ma'am.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
And why not?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
May I ask?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
You were kind of excited, and you just I was
not excited? All right, Let's just say you acted excited.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
I acted in no such way.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Well, I must say, yes, miss Dan, say what that?
Speaker 4 (09:26):
You're the most insufferable, impolite, unpleasant young man I've ever.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Met in all my life.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
All right, miss Dan, you said it.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Can I shall leave this room in a moment as
soon as I've given you the message from my mother.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yes, what is it?
Speaker 6 (09:37):
Will you go ride with me this afternoon?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Now?
Speaker 4 (09:39):
Please don't get the wrong impression, Lieutenant, this is not
my idea. It's only that my mother has certain thought
concerning the obligations of hospitality. I see, and I assure
you the prospect affords me no more pleasure than.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
It does you.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Very well, let's just forget it, then, shall we.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Oh? No, please, you've got to come.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
I must why because I will think I.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Have not been sufficiently sincere and cordial and extending the
invitation she will think perhaps.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I have offended you, whereas of course you have been
the very soul of gentlemen.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Please, Lieutenant, you must come, but it will be so
angry with me if you don't. Please very well.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I shall go riding with you this afternoon, Miss Death.
But as a favorite of me too helped my peace
of mind, kindly be so good as to leave your
horsewhip at home. I'll feel much safer them.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Shall we say? A three very pleasant country, don't you think, Missdabt?
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Yes, very pleasant?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Would you say those are prairie checking? Are quail? Miss debts?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Prairie chicking? I believe?
Speaker 6 (10:59):
Of Do you hunt?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Lieutenant?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
No?
Speaker 2 (11:02):
Miss, I guess I don't like the idea of killing
animals anymore than I like killing men.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Isn't that rather strange coming from a soldier? Why did
you go to.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
West Point, lieutenant, to get an education?
Speaker 3 (11:13):
And what are you in ken doing with it?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Go back to the point in a year or so and.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Teach mathematics, although my pupils, I expect, will relish me
more in the soldier than in the scholar.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Well, Lieutenant, you had a quotation from.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Ocello, Ah surprised an army officer knows Shakespeare.
Speaker 6 (11:32):
Well, yes, just a little.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
I'll tell you how I come by it, if you
will promise not to breathe into a soul. I promise.
We gave a performance of a Fellow at Jefferson Barracks
last month. I was in it.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Oh you were? What part did you play?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
You promise not to tell anybody now? Yes, of course, Desdemona,
No you didn't.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Oh no, I don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
For one performance. Right after that they got in some
female from it. Sure was funny. All right, Hey, why
are you looking at me that way?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (12:08):
What were lieutenant?
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I don't know? Sort of as though you never saw
me before?
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Did I? I'm sorry?
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Well, I think it'd be sorry about only why did you?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
I think maybe it was because I was surprised at me.
I didn't know you could laugh that way?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Oh you thought I was one of those military ramrods.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
I'm afraid I did.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That's funny.
Speaker 6 (12:33):
What is liutenant?
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Well?
Speaker 1 (12:35):
I kind of felt the same about you. I figured
you out for one of those stiff neck, domineering females.
You did, yes, and that beat everything? Say know something,
that's dad. I'm beginning to enjoy this ride. How about
coming out with me again tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (12:52):
Hu, No, now, Amy, put your head back on the pillar, dere,
and you must stop crying.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
I don't want to stay in bed anymore.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Oh now, dear, you know, but doctor Cars will see.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I've been here three whole days already. I want to
get up. I want to be with Sam. Where is he?
Speaker 6 (13:20):
I don't know, Dear. I think he's out riding with
his sister Julia again.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
No, no, dearest, you mustn't.
Speaker 6 (13:29):
Mommy, I saw him first, Yes, darling, of course you did.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
And I'm sure Julia, why I get hold of her,
I'll tell her, Mommy, he's mine.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
I love him, Darling. I don't excite yourself.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
It isn't good for you.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
And anyhow, I'm sure Julia isn't it all interested in
Lieutenant Grant.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Yes she is, I know it. What makes you say that?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Child?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
This morning, when they were both in here, I could tell,
How could you tell? Dear?
Speaker 4 (13:55):
She said she was glad Saminar was such good friends.
She looked at him funny, and then he said he
was glad too, and he looked at her funny, and
then they looked at each other.
Speaker 6 (14:08):
Now, Dear, I'm sure you must be mistaken.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
No, Mommy, I was watching. I'll bet she's trying to
get him herself right this minute.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Nice out here under the trees, is ma, Julia.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yes, it's where my brother Fred and I used to
play when we were children. Don't you think we better be.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Getting back in a minute, Julia, Yes, sir, I'm due
back at the barracks. Have going tomorrow. I'll be leaving
your place after supper tonight. Look, Julia, yes, sir, I
know that you and I. Oh, we didn't hit it
off so well at the beginning. It was my fault, Sam,
(15:05):
it was mine. Well, don't let's.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Get into an argument about that now, Julia. What I
want to know is, yes, Sam, well, are you engaged
or promise to anybody?
Speaker 6 (15:20):
No, Sam, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Is Is there anything else you want to ask me?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Nope?
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Not.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Now this is far enough for one visit. Let's go
back to the house. Now, I got to pack.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
You are listening to the Cavalcade of America starring Ronald
Reagan in Ulysses in Love, sponsored by the dupam Come
makers of better things.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
For better living through chemistry.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
At the DuPont Company, we often find our products filling
needs we never dreamed of. For example, an alert manufacturer
from Bridgeport, Connecticut recently introduced a new device to make
it easier for women to do their nails, a polish
container and brush all in one. In this device, a
DuPont nylon plastic tube holds the nail polish. A little
(16:28):
brush is attached to one end for spreading the polish
on the nails. A gentle squeeze on the tube forces
enough polish onto the brush for each nail. There's no
bottle to upset and less chance of spilling polish on
your clothes when not in use. A metal cap lined
with nylon provides an attractive leakproof container you can carry
(16:49):
safely in your purse. So another job has been made
easier with the help of one of DuPont's Better Things
for better living through chemistry. The DuPont Cavalcade continues, starring
(17:13):
Ronald Reagan as Ulysses S.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Grant.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
A few weeks later, in his room at the barracks
just outside Saint Louis, Second Lieutenant Grant is talking to
his ex West Point roommate Fred Dent, who has just
come on from Washington, d C. So you've been up
to see the folks, I say, am, how's everybody? Oh fine, Fred,
Emmy had a touch of the sun. But Julia writes
me she's all right now.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh Julia rights you. Huh.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Well, it's just that I wrote her to thank her
for the nice visit I had, and she wrote me
to thank me for the letter I wrote thanking her.
Oh I see, I see you know, Sam, I might
just well tell you now, if you're really interested, there's
two people you got to convince outside of Julie.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Two Who are they?
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Well, first there's me, he thinks you run out on it,
and then there's my father. And I don't think he'd
be too happy about it.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
But he doesn't even know me. He was away when
I was there. Oh, there isn't you, Sam. He just
doesn't like the army. He was against my going up
to the point.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
What's the matter with the army? What could a man
do that's more honorable? And we're the uniform of his
own comfort.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
He says there's no future in it, and no army
man should get married unless he's rich.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Well are you rich? Fred?
Speaker 1 (18:27):
All I got in the world is the sixty four
dollars pay I draw every month as a second lieutenant.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Yeah, you love her, Sam, Yes, I think I do. Fred, Well,
there's no man I know. I'd rather have her brother
in law. Thanks, that's your father I'm worrying about. Well,
why don't you go up and ask him? Ask him? Sucks.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
I haven't asked her yet. Maybe I will, though, maybe
i'll run up next month. Oh no, no, no, it'll
have to be before next month, Sam. As a matter
of fact, it'll have to be this week.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
This week.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Why well, I came on from Washington special Orders. Looks
like we're really going to have this war with Mexico
fourth Regiment. You're out for this leaven next week for
field maneuvers in Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
So if you're going up to see Julison, you better get.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Thanks Fred how Gold and ask the major for a
leave right now, Sir, lieutenant, you wish permission to marry
my daughter?
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Is that it?
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yes, Colonel Dent, I do a young man. You can't
have it, can't? May? I ask why? Colonel?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Here's because you're in the army. I disapprove of the army.
But sir, your own rank, you're a colonel, aren't you? That,
sir is purely honorary.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
But why, if I may ask for you disapprove so
strongly because I'm against man killing his fellow man? Well
so am I very much so, sir?
Speaker 1 (19:49):
But if we didn't have an army to defend us
it but it would be an invitation to any foreign
power to walk ry. You do not wish to debate
this matter with you, Lieutenant. There are also other reasons
why you cannot marry my daughter.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I'd like to hear them, Sir. Can you support her
on your army pa? Why not? She's willing. Other women
have married army office, and how happy are they? Tell
me my daughter has lived a good life.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Lieutenant, I am a rich man, and that brings me
to another point, asked Colonel, it is my belief, Lieutenant,
you wish to marry Julia for her money, Colonel Dent,
I wish to marry your daughter for herself. All I
ask of you is your blessing, and that's all I
shall ever ask.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Of you, Sir. I'll never give it to you, sir, never,
how if you'd excuse me, I will wish you good day?
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Sam? Sam?
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Who's that?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
It's me? Annie? Where are you right here behind the curtains.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
What am it come out here, a young lady? Perhaps
you would tell me what you're doing there?
Speaker 3 (20:54):
I was listening the one to find out what was
so important you had to say to Papa. Oh, Samuel
promised to wait for me.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Oh, I'm sorry, Emmy. Will you ever forgive me?
Speaker 6 (21:07):
I didn't think you were fickled, Emmy.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
I've got a little brother home about your age. Maybe
i'll bring him around sometime.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Well? Is he older? A little bit older and golden in?
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yes, he's almost twelve.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I think has he got ready here like you?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Yes? He has? Yes?
Speaker 3 (21:30):
All right, Dan, I forgive you.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Sam. Oh, Julia, I just spoke to your father.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I know, dear, but I told him we were going
to be engaged anyhow.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
What did he say?
Speaker 3 (21:40):
He said I could do as I pleased about that
he did?
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Oh, Sam, I'm so happy.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Engaged, Darren gaze lady. Hush, Samuel.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
You write me every day, all right, Julie.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
I don't suppose there'll be a postman hanging around the
battlefield that regular though.
Speaker 6 (21:57):
And you'll be careful, Sam please for.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Me and for me too, I'll be careful. God bless
you both.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
Goodbye Molino del Rey, Mexico. Fal conspicuous gallantry and action
in the Battle of Molino del Rey, breveted to First
(22:29):
Lieutenant Ulysses, says friends.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
Chipota Beec, Mexico.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
A conspicuous bravery on the field, over and above the
call of duty in the storming of Chapoltapec breveted to
Captain Ulysses, and.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Welcome Captain Grant, welcome back to the plantation. Thank you,
Colonel dant Ah.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
I understand you acquitted yourself quite creditably on one or
two occasions down there in Mexico.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Well, sir, I'm just happened to be where things were
going on.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I see, and now the war's over. I suppose you've
come to clean your bride.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yes, where is Julie? Before you see?
Speaker 1 (23:20):
A Captain? There's something I should tell you. Perhaps it
will change your mind about Mary and my daughter. What
could that be, Colonel Captain Grant? The war has brought
many changes around here, Yes, sir, how's that will?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Many of the.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Plantation owners speculated rather heavily in certain commodities. Some of
them who were once wealthy, are poor men today. I'm
one of those who have lost everything. Captain.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I'm sorry to hear that, sir, you.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
May therefore consider yourself honorably released from your engagement to
my daughter. Sir, Colonel, I don't understand what's that to
do with. I have no dowry to offer with her, Sir.
If she comes to you, she comes without a pity.
Colonel Dent, I once told you all I ask of
you is your blessing. I met it then and I
(24:09):
mean it now and now. If you'll excuse me, sir.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
Sam Oh, Darling, Julie, did father tell you about He
told me. I'm not worried, Darling. We'll be able to
live on your salary.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
I hope so, because I intend to stay in the army.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Whatever you say, I'm sure anything you make up your
mind to do, you're going to do well.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Well, Darren. We can only wait and see, just wait
and see well.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
For quite a long while, as time is reckoned, it
was hard to tell if a certain particular man was
going to get ahead.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
As we know, however, Ulysses S.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Grant became Commander in Chief of the Union Army, one
of the great figures to emerge from the Civil War,
and went on from that victory to hold the highest
office in the Land, President of the United States. Our
(25:43):
thanks to Ronald Reagan and the Cavalcade players for the
night story. Ulysses in Love and now Bill Hamilton speaking
for the DuPont Company. Just about a year ago, a
young man visited the DuPont Company's nylon display room in Wilmington, Delaware.
There he got a sighting idea that led him into
a brand new business venture. His idea was simply this.
(26:06):
Many people were heavy fleece lined overshoes in bad weather.
The same kind of overshoes made of a nylon fabric,
he reasoned, would keep out water just.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
As well as the old kind.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Nylon fleece, would make them warm and comfortable, and they
would be light weight, durable, and they would dry quickly.
So he, his brother and a friend went to work.
They convinced suppliers of nylon fabric that here was an
idea worthy of development. They learned how to sew the nylon,
how to attach the nylon fleece, how to fasten the
(26:40):
sturdy upper to a crape rubber sole, and in nine
months of hard work they solved a dozen or more
tough technical problems.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
They made boots and tested them, and.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Finally they had a product so good and so attractive
in appearance that a bank was willing to lend them
money to go into production. They looked into factory sites,
chose one at Malone, New York, and the businessmen of
Malone welcomed them. And so today there are new cold
weather boots on the market. There are new jobs in Malone.
(27:12):
There is a new business on the map of America.
Because three young men had the imagination, the courage, the
plain old fashioned gumption to try something that had never
been tried before. Once again, a small business has been
created through the use of nylon, one of the DuPont Companies,
better Things for better living through chemistry.
