NYLON STOCKINGS
First introduced by the Du Pont Corporation in 1940, nylon stockings were an instant success. Billed as "stronger than steel" and "run-proof," the public was fascinated by the new
synthetic material. Du Pont brilliantly promoted the new stockings from the start. On May 15, 1940, Du Pont declared "N-Day" - for the first time, all across America, nylon stockings would go
on sale. Women lined up for blocks and Du Pont sold 5 million pair in that single day. (article from the History Channel)
