The Production & Distribution Zone (Zone 5)
1939 New York World's Fair

E.I. Dupont de Nemours


Designers: Walter Dorwin Teague, R.J. Harper and A.M. Erickson


The pavilion contained a sixty-foot mural that showed the story of chemistry, using Lucite and Plastacele plastics. Among the other exhibits was a five-stage presentation with the Tatterman Marionettes, showing how Dupont's products affected everyday life. There was a pest control station, a demonstration of the spinning of Rayon yarn, and a variety of other never-before-seen chemical processes.
