This 1950s film, one of a series titled “Industry on Parade”, was created by the National Association of Manufacturers. It seeks to promote American production by examining the benefits of mechanization and manufacturing, which produce prosperous, contented employees. This episode features railroad employees, and employees in a pen and a potato chip factory, and the benefits of aviation for Hawaii. The footage covers employees doing additional work such as firefighting, redesigning manufacturing sequences, and a fully automated chips production process. There is also footage of Hawaiian Airlines aircraft being loaded and unloaded with various goods.
