The series consisted of weekly episodes that highlighted American manufacturing and business. Hundreds of companies and products were documented during the program’s decade-long run.”
This film is a collection of three 1952 episodes from the series (episodes 111, 83, 112). Episode 111 begins with footage of sulfur mining: a wall of earth is dynamited (00:58). A sulfur well stands over a sulfur dome (01:19). The episode shows a sulfur processing plant in Texas or Louisiana (02:20). Men walk along pipes that move liquid sulfur, and stack molds to hold the sulfur for drying. The next segment shows an aerial view Watkins Incorporated’s steel plant in Wichita, KS (04:05). Men fabricate steel beams and grind steel plates. Employees build a cylinder for an oil refinery (05:40). Company president E.A. Watkins watches work being done. At the Jantzen Manufacturing Company in Portland, OR, a woman models a swimsuit (06:22). Another woman dyes spools of cloth, which is then run through a machine to bend the fibers before making it into yarn. Several women work on the floor (07:42). A woman cuts out components of a swimsuit from a stack of fabric. Next, the episode takes viewers to a railway yard (08:57). Two Union Pacific officials inspect cargo (09:30). The plexiglass wall of train car is then crashed in a freight car safety test to demonstrate how cargo can be damaged. The episode then shows the exterior of the J.H. Monteath Lumber Company building in New York (11:13). A man demonstrates a very hard wood (12:21) by unsuccessfully trying to drive a nail. Men inspect boards of mahogany (13:08) as it is carted storage sheds.
The second episode, number 83, starts out by showing viewers the testing of diesel generators in sub-zero temperatures at the Stewart and Stevenson Company’s facility in Houston, TX (14:32). The episode shows a shot of a Stewart & Stevenson Services building (14:59). Men work on manufacturing engines at the company. A generator unit is equipped with a heater (15:40); men assemble burners while women put together electrical control panels. Two men prepare to test a generator in the arctic test room. The segment ends by showing the generators and engines operating on various jobs, including at a hospital, a sawmill, and irrigating farmland. The next segment begins with a close-up shot of a man’s hands sharpening a wood-carving tool (19:50). Uncle Joe builds a chair by hand at the Louisville Chair Company in Louisville, KY; the segment features the ornate woodwork in Uncle Joe’s home in Louisville. At the International Amphitheatre in Chicago (21:10), viewers see the Expo of American Society of Tool Engineers. At the Kodak booth, people learn about the company’s new contour projector that is used for gauging accuracy of small machined parts. At a plant, parts are machined (21:55). A woman compares machined parts to the original plans by magnifying the small parts with a contour projector. Two marionettes are controlled by a puppeteer in Kansas City, MO (25:13). Viewers see how Miss Mazel Rollins’ company builds the dancing dolls by painting the heads (25:50), attaching plastic shoes to legs, and gluing on hair (26:44).
In the final episode of this set, number 112, viewers see a large forge press at the Wyman-Gordon Company in North Grafton, MA (28:28). Men run metal through the press. Men work with a massive multi-story press (29:36), and the site where massive presses will be manufactured. In the next segment, viewers see the manufacturing of paper towels at the Brown Paper Company in Berlin, NH. Men push logs into a river, and the logs float down to the facility where they are run through a chipper. An acid bath turns the chipped wood into pulp. The pulp is moved along a belt and converted into paper towels (32:27). At Terminal Island, CA, the tuna clipper May Queen has its tuna catch unloaded (33:55). 500 women work in one of Star-Kist Food Incorporated’s warehouses (34:36), removing skin and bones from the meat. A machine dices the meat. A woman inspects the weight of a can. Sealed cans move into a detergent wash, then into the baskets of a pressure cooker (36:12). Cans are labeled and boxed. The final segment shows the manufacturing of saddles at the Hamley and Company building in Pendleton, OR. Several men build the saddles, cutting out leather pieces, compressing the leather, and fitting the pieces on the saddle tree. 40:38 A man works on tightening the strings on a nearly finished saddle (40:38), as another man stamps designs onto the leather.

The biggest mistake of big industries exporting their munfucturing to other countries is they didn't care about job loss and they only care cost cutting. Sadly those products are produced in small business in othe countries which creates lots of job. The economics of exporting your brick factory to china and buy finished products with hard currency for consumption doesn't make sense.
I don't miss Brown Paper in Berlin NH. The Androscoggin was nasty below the mill. They used to say it was "Too thick to swim and too thin to sled".
These amazing serials we get to see via the "Way-back Machine" 60, 70, 80+ years later is just simply wonderful. While many of the methods & equipment shown in these are long, LONG outdated, it is fascinating to see how "Dear Ol' Grand-dad" did things in his day. Thank you for all these amazing pieces of past Americana.

I agree. The main lesson for our generation from this videos is 1. It is still possible to make money at home if we open our eyes. 2. Don't spend what you earn on non essential expenses. 3. Care one another and don't be greedy. You may add more.

Can’t help but think. Most of these videos are nearly 100 years old... and are more informative, and less insulting or IQ lowering than any modern entertainment or educational media. Definitely technologIcal advancement... but has Civilization or the average human progressed or regressed? We seem less capable and self sufficient
Thanks, Periscope! LOTS of good stuff here, from the old craftsmen to the 'Bulldog' saddle! Thanks again!

Swimsuits made from fine woolen strands. Now the swimsuits are fine woolen strands.
I ran cattle a couple miles from Sulfer Mound. Had a sulfur seep on my property. Some colorful bacteria thrive in a seep.

This is a womderful channel.
The EPA has put the old sulfur mining business out to pasture. Now producers pay to have it hauled away!
Now there's too much sulfur available, from scrubbing it out of oil and coal.
To quote Steven Wright- “My house is made out of balsa wood, so when I want to scare the neighborhood kids I lift it over my head and tell them to get out of my yard or I'll throw it at them.”
The series seemed to upset the then "Major Media." It collectively decided is was "propaganda" for the NAM. What's funny that if you watch "Public" TV you will see similar shows being produced by Red China and Japan. Also, in the era the Major Broadcasters decided to no longer permit a sponsor's name to be associated with a particular show. Some "high class" shows that had no problem getting good support from their primary sponsor couldn't survive on their own.

damn, we've fallen so far from this. the more I watch these older videos, the more I see the degradation of our country.. im only 30 so all of this is way past me, but seeing how things were in the 40s during the war and how things seemed like they were only getting better. then something around the 70's I notice change in the demeanor of the people that only continues to get worse until we're at where we are now in 2023. seems weve forgotten what it meant to be american.

The sulphur got into teh domes by teh same way it is gotten out - with hot water! During The Flood 4,350 years ago the water and basic elements inside Earth escaped up cracks and became trapped under thick slabs of separated crust and on drying became the sulphur domes. Drilling down and dissolving with hot water mimics the way the sulphur escaped from inside Earth and the precipitated out to make the domes.

Great series depicting life back in the day... Sad to see though that they spout man's freedom and equality, rights... yes you would think that this series only applies to the United States of White America... Nary a non-white is portrayed in any of the scenes. Them's were the days...?

A tiny microscopic amount compared to the size of the atmosphere. Hubris is a terrible thing. Our overlords are banking on this very human failing. Mankind can not alter the atmosphere even if we tried!!! If you did not live in the 1960s and 1970s, then you have no comprehension of what localized pollution was like. The air is thousands of times cleaner today and getting cleaner every day in the USA. China is like the USA in the 1940s and will be as clean as the USA in less than 50 years. Learn real history and ignore nay sayers.

In the 1950s, when these were made, women were not allowed to open bank accounts. The crime rate was ten fold higher. LGBT ppl had to live in hiding. Lead paint was poisoning an entire generation. And, of course, institutionalized racism. Not so great.
Ich hoffe das ich KEINE Kommentare poste.

What has happened to America since then? What had happened to a far this looking country? What had happend to a country considered as a bacon of hope since then? This videoes were filmed not just only as information but to inspire citizens it is possible to make business at home even in retirement after 70 years service, it is possible to make decent leaving by making small stuffs like dolls with friends, it is possible for big business prosper with automation and by employing large number of citizens. What happens since then is big corporations became greedy and eject hard working employees making them jobless. Citizens spending on non essential stuffs increased(To give a silly example) People's who can afford 500 dollars for tattoo became unable to buy a milk for their child). America then argue they were pure capitalist looking this videos, they get some 40% that makes them socialist. Those were the golden eras of America in industrial revolution. Why not look back and take lesson from that today?

Well, corporate industry lobbied their way into government, fulfilling the definition of fascism (the merge between corporations and government). The Republican party clamored for this merger. The rest is history. You're welcome for getting a free history lesson. Let me know if you need anymore lessons.
