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.
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 While many of the methods & equipment shown in these are long, LONG outdated, it is fascinating to see how "Dear Ol' Grand-dad" did things in his day.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

Now days it would be called Chinas industry parade. Funded by us manufacturers for maximum profit. Bring industry back here to the USA or face more shortages even worse than now.
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.”
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.
what in the good lord are you on about? I adore these films, but you know they are corporate propaganda right? They dont show you the tens of thousand of maimed workers each year. OSHA won't be signed into law (by Nixon) for two decades. NAM opposed it.
Rightly so. They're slow growing and there's no way to produce a self sustaining plantation without essentially burning money waiting decades for usable stock.
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.
31:00 pulpwood being dumped in the river camera jumps to stunningly large piles of logs almost dwarfed by the mechanical structures and machinery in relief
i love these old videos but am very tired of clicking a skip button every 2 min. by the time the video comes back on you really don't give a shit about what your watching anymore. I understand they are needed but why so many so often?

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.
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.
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...?
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.
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.
All I hear is a man that definitely enjoyed a pure white cigarette and married a cordial and ladylike young lass named Sally who bore him multiple children.
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".
Back when we use to manufacture things in America.
America: We don't manufacture anything any more!
Australia: Hold my beer.
We still do only now we make idiots.
We still produce the majority of the sulfur we use. Except that it is a byproduct instead of the base product
Back before our politicians and CEOs sold our country to the highest bidder

LOVE these old videos..... Much has changed to be nothing like it was... so much is almost exactly the same....
Remember watching this show with my dad,early 1960's I think.
I love your channel. Very interesting film indeed.
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.

Now there's too much sulfur available, from scrubbing it out of oil and coal.
Does anyone know what became of 'Uncle Joe's' house in Louisville? Is it still around?
I thought the same thing. Probably died kids sold all furniture and house. New owners ripped out dated interior sold good pieces on fb
The EPA has put the old sulfur mining business out to pasture. Now producers pay to have it hauled away!

1952, so 72 years old like you said
This is a womderful channel.

I agree 💯% and I would be fine with paying more for the same product if it was made in the USA.

28:25 Footage and background of the heavy press program that I hadn't seen before
That girl in the thumbnail that made me click on this video is absolutely gorgeous
You mid-century gigolo you....Same here. HAHAHA
Its 8:45 for the like minded 👍
This is March 2020, and we're wild about the paper towel.
Yeah, she's dead.

Something fishy about that, I agree.

Portland... This really is a window into the past.
16:09 Tig welding in 60's?
11:40 exotic wood
18:07 lumber yard
19:00 message from industry to you "today's pioneer" the heroic role of scientists in ("peacetime") industrial production, ecocide, and cheap prices.
20:00 mahogany furniture
30:30 message from industry to you: "production is progress", scientific management
31:00 pulpwood being dumped in the river camera jumps to stunningly large piles of logs almost dwarfed by the mechanical structures and machinery in relief
The narration at about the 3 min mark was Paul Harvey

The good ol days, when the Earth was flat, and we walked to church ten miles every Sunday, through the snow, uphill, both ways...
What did they do show these films in school.?
As short features is movie theaters too I think
Back when America was great.
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.
And then came Reagan.
