		867 it is shown that Christiana held 27.56 per cent of E. du Pont common, with the Du Pont family holding 74 per cent of Christiana or 20.39 participation in E. du Pont through this single channel alone.
		869 it is shown that the Du Ponts personally and through a network of family subholding companies and trust funds held altogether 43.93 per cent of E. du Pont common, enough to insure absolute control.
		Since the ownership position in General Motors was increased it is reasonable to infer that the general situation is no different in E. du Pont and in Christiana Securities.

		Caught short by a margin call in the recession of 1920, Durant, GM's colorful founder, lost his stake and was forced by the du Pont family to walk the plank (he would spend his final days running a bowling alley).
		One of the clan's craftiest patriarchs, Pierre du Pont, was coaxed from retirement and named GM's interim president; Alfred Sloan, who had demonstrated the coldhearted allegiance to the bottom line the du Ponts revered, became executive vice president preparatory to assuming the top slot.
		Surely the du Pont family's growing interest in oil and oil fields, as it branched out from its gunpowder roots into the oil-dependent chemical business, weighed on many GM directors' minds.

		The family business has provided gunpowder of increasing sophistication for all of America’s wars from 1812 on, and Du Pont chemists have produced dozens of items as indispensable in our lives as cellophane and nylon.
		That we know less about individual du Ponts than about Rockefellers or Vanderbilts, Mosley says in this highly entertaining history of the dynasty, is because self-appointed family archivists and the company’s “tight-lipped public relations men” have for years sanitized the record.
		The first Pierre Samuel du Pont advocated marriage between cousins to ensure “honesty of soul and purity of blood.” Several generations later, the reigning patriarch was grumbling that “the thinning” of that pure blood by inbreeding was producing freaks.
