Picturesque Industries of Mexico (900). Fly catching, adobe brickmaking, sandal cobbling and feather work — occupations queer to the Anglo-Saxon notion. The flies, for instance, are edible, and are prepared for native restaurants. The crude manufacture of sandals, primitive to the extreme, is in sharp contrast with the wonderfully artistic work with feathers. Educational Films Corporation.
Pulque, Mexico's National Drink (955). Pulque is the juice of the manguey plant after three weeks of fermentation. It is sold from casks slung on the backs of burros, or in native cafes. One of the most picturesque of these is called "The Library of Those Who Are Wise Without Study." Educational Films Corporation.
The City of Mexico. Bui. No. 77. 1,000 feet. Travel and geography. University of Wisconsin.
The Heart of Mexico (970). The high points of interest in and around Mexico City, the capitol of the Republic, and a metropolis that is distinguished by the grandeur of its monuments and by the tropical beauty of Nature. Holiday crowds in carriages, and, for a lively finish, a typical small boy circus. Educational Films Corporation.

The Mexican Venice (1036). The Viga Canal, the great water highway into Mexico City, which was old when Cortez came in 1520, and is preserved almost unchanged today.

The Most Useful Plant in the World (941). Food and drink, cattle fodder, needles, thread, cloth fibre, roofing, firewood and even fence and road building material are made from the manguey, or century plant, as it grows in Mexico.
