Brian Dunlevy in the story of the tremendous tribal on the capital care of America sponsored by the DuPont Company. Make her a better things for a better living through chemistry. But first, here is Gayne Whitman.

Before our play begins tonight, here's a brief item of interest to you about the poultry industry because it affects the supply of eggs and chickens. It's more important than ever these days to have healthy baby chicks.

Limitations on feed, due to reduced wheat supplies, will necessarily reduce the size of the flocks and make it necessary to become more efficient in raising each chick. DuPont supplies cello glass, plastic coated wire mesh, the ideal material for poultry house windows and other buildings.

Cello glass protects chicks from damp cool spring weather, but does not shut out the passage of the health-giving ultraviolet rays of the sun. That is why many poultry farmers use cello glass, one of DuPont's better things for better living through chemistry.

The DuPont Company presents the story of the tremendous tribal starring Brian Dunlevy as Edwin Drake on the Cavalcade of America. Tonight, the Cavalcade of America brings you the story of the beginning of a mighty industry, one which has helped bring America prosperity and greatness.

But this is also the story of a man who had faith, who never gave up. His name is Edwin L. Drake. Perhaps you've never heard of him. But the citizens of Titusville, Pennsylvania will never forget him, or what he did.

No one a grateful industry forget Edouard Drake. The story begins really in the office of Mr. George H. Bissell, one of the pioneers in the petroleum industry. But it's the year 1857, and there are troubles and worries confronting Mr. Bissell and his associates.
