Four-page advertisement detailing various raw materials manufactured and sold the Hercules Powder Company for a range of industrial applications, including resins, insecticides, cellulose, and chlorinated rubber. This advertisement appeared in the November 1939 issues of Chemical & Metallurgical Engineering and Industrial & Engineering Chemistry.

Formed in 1912 as part of an anti-trust settlement with DuPont, the Hercules Powder Company (later Hercules Inc.) initially specialized in the manufacture of explosives and smokeless powders and subsequently diversified its business to encompass a variety of industrial products, including pine and paper chemicals, synthetics, pigments, polymers, and cellulose.
