DuPont sold Remington in about 1980

[Researcher]

DuPont bought controlling interest in Remington Arms Co., Inc. in 1934. In the early 1980s they called in the outstanding Remington stock and issued 0.55 share of DuPont stock for each share of Remington stock. I saved the newpaper clipping, but didn't write the date on it, but it was filed with my 1981 Remington catalogue. From 1934 to 1981? Remington was a majority owned unit of DuPont and after the stock swap a wholly owned subsidiary of DuPont. the DuPont logo disappears from the Remington catalogues between the 1993 and the 1994 issues, when DuPont cut Remington loose.
