- Industry On Parade was a television series created by the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) from 1950-1960. 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.
The first episode of this set of three episodes is titled “Contents: Merchandise.” It looks at the packaging of various consumer products. Matches are produced at a production plant (00:44) and move along a conveyer belt. Cigars are machine-wrapped on an assembly line (01:22). At Millprint Inc. in Milwaukee, people sketch out packaging artwork (01:57). New packaging tape is tested (02:20). The episode then shows a packaging production plant where cardboard packages are made and put together (02:52). Boxboard is transformed into an array of containers at Old Dominion Box Company in Charlotte, NC (03:20). Strips are fed into a machine (03:47) that cuts and glues them into small boxes. 6-pack containers are manufactured at the Atlanta Paper Company (04:28) using massive printing machines; unassembled cartons are then fed into a machine that folds and glues them. Women at a St. Louis plant oversee the production of netting for bags used for produce (05:25). Propulsion cans are manufactured with large production machines (06:48). The episode then takes viewers to a New Jersey coffee packing plant (07:25). Coffee tins are filled with coffee then sealed (07:59) with pressure packing before undergoing a pressure test (08:24). Cigarettes are manufactured (08:50), packed and shipped at another factory. There are more shots of various production machines with people overseeing the production lines. A woman fills a bag with ready-mixed cake products (09:46). A grocery store conveyer belt shows a variety of grocery products in the latest packaging (10:43). Kids get a wax-coated milk carton from a vending machine (11:19).
The second episode discusses “profits and progress” using a suburban family to illustrate the importance of putting profits back into the business to fuel growth. A young boy and girl set up a lemonade stand in a suburban neighborhood (14:05). The episode cuts to their father’s Texaco Filing Station (15:29), where cars arrive for services. The father buys stock in the General Transistor Corporation. The episode shows the General Transistor’s small enterprise building (17:06) at Long Island, NY. A machine pulls crystals of germanium (18:10) as a skilled worker oversees the process. Other new machines are used for research. Women clock out of work at the company (19:53). There are shots of research labs and transistor testing in quality control. Transistors are fed into a machine to mark them for their capability (22:08).
The third episode (no. 122) is from 1953. It begins with a look at the surface mining operations of the Pittsburgh and Midway Coal Mining Company in Kansas. A drill is used to remove a layer of earth, then the hillside is blasted. A giant shovel moves coal and earth (27:56). Another machine punches through the earth to break it up. A train car loaded with coal is tipped (29:05) to remove the coal. Conveyer belts move and separate the coal by grade. The segment ends with shots of coal mounds leftover from surface mining (29:50). Next, viewers are shown the Shepherd Envelope Company plant (31:29) where various envelopes are produced. A machine di-cuts paper; a woman feeds paper into a window-cutting machine (31:58). Envelopes move on a chain conveyer and are then boxed. The next segment shows the “tilt-up technique” of building new factories. The Barrett and Hile Company of San Francisco, CA, pours concrete into wall forms on the ground; a crane lifts the wall panel (33:20) up and into position. The final segment of this episode follows a Maine Sardine Fleet fishing boat (35:18) as it fishes for sardines. Men take a smaller boat (35:47) out to circle the sardines with a net. A carrier boat arrives to take the catch (37:00), using smaller nets to transfer the sardines into the carrier boat. The fish are pumped out into a canning plant using a massive vacuum (37:54), where they are hand-packed along an assembly line (38:31). A machine adds and crimps lids to the tops of the sardine cans (39:12).

There is nothing in the world like vids like this. Thank you. And a shout-out to RUclips. Few years ago we never dreamed of watching these gems. For free...I remember renting by mail for vids like this, or hoping for extras on DVDs... just like B movies...priceless. Can't ppl just enjoy without politics? Sad... Thanks 👌
Regardless of what is shown here, this is a kind of program format I like. It would be nice to see these things back on TV, instead of that rubbish with people arguing loudly with each other for hours. Have some "parades" instead! Industry on parade, Arts on parade, Culture on parade! Imagine how many people you would inspire with such programs, and how many of them would start following the trades shown in them!!
Somebody should have packaged and preserved the audio on this film.
9:27 - 11:14 the sound disappears!
Is this a great country, or what? I love these films, thank you! ❤
And the rest of the world had nothing like this 😂😂😂
The original How It’s Made. Only better!
thank you
General Transistor became General Instrument then Motorola, Google, Arris, and now Commscope.
11:01....the ole' left foot in the kitchen.
9:32 back when potato chip bags where mostly full with potato chips, and not the 1/8th full they are now
Amazing how back when this was made packaging was so important to the economy and necessary to the consumer, but today we are telling our suppliers of groceries, delivery service and post office that we want LESS,LESS,LESS, and I agree, less packing means better for the environment, and in effect should bring prices down, don’t hold your breath on that, I am sure the major supermarkets are thinking how to reverse the premise and charge more.
So, nothing’s changed, the government back then was taking more than its fair share in taxation etc etc etc, just as it is today, you put in the capital, the hard work and determination and just as you start reaping the reward you get robbed blind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! by your own government.
Thanks for sharing this interesting and informative film 🎥 very good series, keep up the hard work PF, please. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴
Manufacturing has really made the human almost obsolete. Would you sit there for 12 hrs a day stitching bags .
To feed my family, yes.
Windooow
All that plastic is in every ocean now. Soon it won't be safe to eat salt water fish. Maybe back then they thought their grandchildren would handle it. How'd we do?
Microplastics is mostly a non issue. You can't digest plastics. It just goes in your body and is later passed. We have no evidence that it's harmful. It's just upsetting to think a bit of plastic is in our body. But you should be much more upset about things like lead and chrome and stuff that actually hurts you.
Does anybody else hear Paul Harvey in some of these videos?
Did not.
And the vinyl chloride monomer propulsion gas gives the little kid some nice liver cancer to go along with his shortcake... oh happy day!
