OU PONT
In 1813, a wagon train under military escort,
carried Du Pont powder from Brandywine Mills
near Wilmington, Del., to Commodore Perry at
Erie, Pa. This was the powder with which Perry
won his famous fight. Now, a hundred years later,
the Du Pont Powder Company is sending over the
same route, a reproduction of the famous wagon
train, which will deliver Du Pont powder to Com-
modore Perry's original battleship, "The Niagara,"
which has been raised and restored for the cen-
tenary celebration.
