France, Campbell, & Darling, Inc.
Kenilworth, NJ





France, Campbell, and Darling, Inc., manufacturers of synthetic resins, rosin gum, and gum opal, located their plant to Kenilworth, NJ in 1940. For many years they shipped carloads via the Rahway Valley Railroad. Synthetic resins, rosin gum, and gum opal are materials which have similar properties to plant resins and act as a synthetic substitute. Having many applications, they can be used as ingredients in printing inks, varnishes, adhesives (glues), soap, soda, soldering fluxes, and sealing wax. Rosin gum can also be used as a glazing agent in medicines and chewing gum.

           

The Rahway Valley Railroad constructed a spur into France, Campbell, and Darling’s plant which sat on N. Michigan Avenue.
