Institute of Makers of Explosives

The Institute of Makers of Explosives was organized as a trade association for the explosives industry on July 15, 1913. In 1921 the Institute decided to sponsor a history of the explosives industry and assigned the work to Arthur Pine Van Gelder and Hugo Schlatter. The work was published as A HISTORY OF THE EXPLOSIVES INDUSTRY IN AMERICA by Columbia University Press in 1927.
