What a find! The portion that shows the glassblowers shows my Greatgrandfather at work--a sight I never thought I would see! I and my family express our deepest gratitude to both the photographer and the Archives for preserving and sharing this film! Thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you!

Interesting reel here, that covered a LOT of ground, lets not waste any time!!! We first see a display for a chemical and plastic company. Cant QUITE make the full name of it, but their display isnt remarkable. Just some displays behind some glass. Meh. From there, we go to the curiously named Man: His Clothes, His Sports. Not too sure who the sponsor of this one is either (I suspect a garment company). Love the dioramas on the side of the building! From there we go to the Kodak exhibit! Nice building with photos on the outside.. There are some neat trick photography exhibits you can take…
