Negotiations Near
End For Hosiery
Plant In Kinston
The first industry to seek Kin
ston as the result of Du Pont’s
fourth nylon plant coming to
Lenoir County is to be a hosiery
plant located on the Goldsboro
Highway just west of the Coca
Cola Bottling plant. A group of
40 Kinston men have invested
$500 each in the purchase of the
land from Ray West and in con
struction of a plant that will be
teased to a New York company.
The group has purchased a 180
foot road frontage that reaches
back to the Atlantic and East
Carolina Railroad right of way.
Details as to the size of the
plant and the number of per
sons to be employed are not av
ailable but a reasonable guess
has placed the employment fig
ure at 100 persons.
The advantage of being able
to secure the nylon fiber here in
Lenoir County without freight
costs added to the labor supply
and climatic advantages of this
section are the basic reasons for
this new industry's coming to
Kinston.
DuPont Activity J
Worlq is moving along speedily
toward the beginning of con
struction on Lenoir County and
East Carolina’s largest industry
the new nylon plant that is to be
built during the next 18 months
in Contentnea Township. Space
has been rented in the ware
houseof the Neuse Distributing
Company for storing materials
temporarily, negotiations have
been completed between the huge
Delaware Company and a local
truck line operator for the mov
ing of these building materials
from the warehouses to the
building site. Six trucks have
been ordered from a local dealer
and the survey being made by
Colonel Meriwether Lewis is
nearing completion. Some seven
to eight hundred workers will
be employed at the plant dur
ing its construction and approx
imately 1,200 will work in the
plant when it opens for full
time operation.
Wasted irrigation water may
cause land damage by erosion,
alkali accumulation, leaching or
waterlogging, accbrding to a re
cent study b y conservation
specialists.
