...another-are Bakelite, General Plastics, American Cyanamid Co., Plaskon Co., Celluloid Corp., Du Pont, Eastman Kodak, Monsanto Chemical and Union Carbide and Carbon.* These manufacturers do no molding, sell their plastics to other companies to be shaped. The molders, in turn-excepting those like Westinghouse and General Electric, which use the products in their own business-sell their finished plastic products to the toothbrush, automobile, radio manufacturers...
