Re: Nylon
DuPont built the first full-scale nylon plant in Seaford, Delaware, and began commercial production in late 1939.
The company decided not to register nylon as a trademark, according to Dupont they, "choose to allow the word to enter the American vocabulary as a synonym for stockings, and from the time it went on sale to the general public in May 1940, nylon hosiery was a huge success: women lined up at stores across the country to obtain the precious goods."
