William Henry Radebaugh (1909-1996) was a public relations executive at E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company, a chemical company more commonly known as the DuPont Company, for more than twenty years. He wrote, produced, and directed many films about the company during his tenure there and for several years after his retirement. This item is a manuscript draft of a book Radebaugh wrote about DuPont's "five fibers": rayon, acetate, nylon, Orlon, and Dacron. The information is presented in simple terms so as to be understandable by a child, although it is helpful for non-technical adults as well. Radebaugh completed the manuscript in 1953; the manuscript includes a one-page forward by the author written in 1981.
