An immigrant, unsuited for skilled work, is given employment as a laborer at one of the large steel corporations. He is shown the many new safety devices, and how to apply them.

A Safety First film taken under the auspices of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, showing the dangers constantly incurred by the carelessness of children and others getting on and off of street cars, and playing in traffic crowded streets.
A122 Salmon Fishery in Alaska
An American Industrial, with enough human interest in it to take it out of the class of merely educational. It shows the annual run of salmon in the Northern waters. The small seine boats are shown, the catching of the fish, transferring them to the large cannery tenders, which deliver them at the dock into endless conveyers, and deposit them in the canning factory, of which a typical example is shown.
A-129 & A-130 Grape Juice
This is a more than ordinarily interesting Industrial Film, and shows the manufacture of Welch's Grape Juice, from the vineyard to the picnic party on the lawn where the bottled article is enjoyed. All through the great factory where the grape juice is made we follow its interesting progress in a mechanical way. The spectator sees the wheels go around to his heart's content, and will probably have an added zest and enjoyment to his future use of grape juice after seeing this film.

An excellent Industrial Educational subject. All the processes of making newspaper, from the cutting up of the original logs to the delivery of the paper in finished rolls are clearly illustrated and followed through the different departments.
A133 & A134 History of Transportation
Showing the gradual evolution of transportation in America, from the aboriginal Indian with his pack, through all the intermediate stages to the electric car. A reel of great educational value, and very interesting.
