Abstract:
The Carolina Biological Supply Company of Elon College was started in 1927 by Dr. Thomas Powell, Jr. Powell created this company to provide scientists with easy access to specimens for the classroom, but the company did not become successful until the 1940s. The rapid expansion after the atom bomb and Sputnik spurred tremendous growth in the company and it has since become a large company with different departments, such as tissues, fibers, embryos, worms, insects, larvae, and fish.
