From DuPont's new $40,000,000 plant for making Dacron polyester fiber, these packages of the fiber start their journey to textile manufacturers. The textile trade will convert, weave and knit this Dacron into apparel fabrics and also fabrics for household and industrial uses. The plant at Kinston, North Carolina was completed in March of 1953. It is the newest of eight plants operated by the company's Textile Fibers Department.

This truly dual purpose shirt for men combines the look and feel of cotton with the fast drying, no-ironing long-wearing advantages of Dacron polyester fiber. Made and sold by Brooks Brothers, the white, button-down Oxford shirt is made in Brooks-weave, a Cone Mills fabric of 65% Dacron and 35% cotton. Although the shirt has the soft, natural feel and porosity of a regular cotton Oxford, it can be washed at night, hung on a hanger soaking wet, and will be dry, fresh-looking and ready to wear...

Bothe Kinston and Old Hickory plants maintain a textile laboratory. The view here shows part of the Kinston laboratory. The purpose of the laboratory is to enable the plant to keep a check on how Dacron will perform on textile equipment in customers' mills. The machine you see here is a standard carding machine into which staple fiber is put to permit it to be changed into sliver-a loose un-twisted rope. This is the first step in making yarn from Dacron staple. The carding machine orients the fiber in uniform gossamer-like threads to form the sliver. From here the yarn will be further processed until it ends up as a piece of finished cloth or knotted fabric. At points all along the way of the process, the yarn can be checked for dying, spinning and various other characteristics important to textile mills.

In the processing of continuous filament Dacron polyester fiber, the yarn must be drawn to give it added strength and elasticity. This rack of yarn has just been drawn on the machines in the background and is on its way to the inspections station prior to shipping. Dacron yarn and staple are made in Kinston, North Carolina where DuPont built a $50,000,000 plant to manufacture this synthetic fiber commercially in 1953.
