Promotional film for Hercules, Inc., formerly Hercules Powder Company. Although Hercules, Inc. was founded as a munitions and explosives company, this film focuses on its other products and services. These include cellulose and wood products, fertilizers, toxaphene pesticide, dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), textile industry products, synthetic rubber and resin products, and the company's recent (1970s) expansion into electronic credit and purchasing systems and waste treatment plants.
