In the following sequences the hides of these animals are traced through leather making processes into shoes, bags, clothing, up- holstery and other products. There are shown the methods and places where hides are taken off, how tanners get them, how they are cured and preserved in the long tanning process. Modern industrial technique is shown and contrasted with stages of manufacture where skilled handi- craft is indispensable. World maps with animated titles and diagrams indicate the interrelation of productive factors in the modern world by showing the sources of all the raw materials used in tanning.

Changing a sun-scorched wilderness of cactus and sagebrush to a blooming white harvest. The World War was interfering with the supply and shipment of the long staple Egyptian cotton, needed for quality tires, so the Goodyear Company in 1916 cleared a great plantation at Litchfield, Arizona, and presently was producing cotton in America that rivaled that from the Valley of the Nile. As most of the land lay just outside the Roosevelt Dam area, installa- tion of an elaborate irrigation system was necessary. Eighty deep wells supply the water. The picture shows the planting of the seeds, the gathering of the crop, the inovement of the cotton to the nearby gins and then to the textile mills, where it is made into tire fabric. The transformation from a few scattered tents to busy towns, with stores, schools, churches, model homes and well-kept gardens and lawns, is de- picted in this . . . film."
