World’s Fair Demonstrators Now Handle Variety of Du Pont Jobs
Most coveted of all summer jobs for college students in 1939 were at the New York World’s Fair. Whether it was demonstrating television or electronic cooking, just to be a part of the vast extravaganza was an exciting experience.
At Du Pont’s “Wonder World of Chemistry,” 24 college boys and girls were engaged for those glorious months before the clouds of war darkened New York’s brightest scene. For gaping crowds they demonstrated chemistry’s new miracles.
September, 1939, sent some back to the campuses; war soon scattered others around the globe. But today, 13 years later, eight of these people have found opportunities and careers with Du Pont. Their pictures as demonstrators in 1939 contrast slnaxply with their onthe-job portraits today, seen here.
