You are bidding on one DVD with the following historical movies, films, clips:

1.

Felling Forest Giants (ca. 1920s) [1920s; 13:21 min; B&W, silent]
Early documentation of the American forest industry. This 20s silent film shows logging and lumber cutting practices in the Pacific Northwest, including the felling of giant redwoods.

2.

Trees to Tribunes (1937) [1937; 19:55 min; B&W]
Contents. Some of the activities involved in pulpwood logging, making newsprint, and printing a large metropolitan newspaper.
A map indicates the location of Chicago Tribune timberlands in the Canadian province of Quebec. Supplies are brought by boat from Quebec to Shelter Bay, where they are transferred to trucks, sleds, and wagons and carried to various logging camps in the vicinity.
There are several views of a logging camp. Trees are cut, trimmed, and sawed into 4-foot lengths. Some logs are sledded to rivers and lakes; others are transported on ice slides. Logs are stacked in piles on the ice, awaiting warmer spring weather. When the ice melts in the spring, great log drives are started downstream. Occasional jams are freed by dynamiting. Near river docks the logs are fed into revolving drums which remove the bark. They are then loaded for shipping to the pulp mills.
The sequence dealing with the manufacture of newsprint begins with views of the Tribune pulp mild The logs are cleaned in washing drums and defective wood is removed. Some of the logs are sent through chippers and made into chemical sulphite pulp; the majority are ground for mechanical pulp. Mechanical and sulphite pulps are mixed before they are run through a series of rolls and converted into newsprint. The finished paper is loaded into Tribune ships, transported to Chicago by way of the Great Lakes, and stored in the Tribune warehouse.
The concluding sequence deals with the work of producing a large metropolitan newspaper. There are several views of the editorial rooms in the Tribune Tower. An engraving is made of a cartoonist's drawing. Linotype operators are shown at work at their machines. Pages of type and engravings are assembled, matrices are molded, and the stereotype plates are cast and locked onto rotary presses. Paper from the warehouse is fed to the presses as the work of printing the paper begins. Papers are cut, folded, and conveyed to the shipping and mailing rooms. Several views indicate the operations involved in distributing the newspapers to street newsstands and to the homes of subscribers.
Appraisal. Reported very good for (1) tracing the steps in pulpwood logging and the production of newsprint and (2) briefly sketching the mechanical work involved in producing a newspaper. Found useful in developing an appreciation of the complex organization of the newspaper industry.
Teachers reported that various processes were covered from beginning to end in logical sequence, but some felt that the mechanical operations could have been given more detailed treatment. Students were interested in learning that some newspapers log their own lumber and make their own paper. The frequent interjection of Chicago Tribune advertising was objectionable to a few teachers.

3.

Wood For War (ca. 1942) [1942; 6:24 min; color]
Forest production and its strategic importance during wartime. In Kodachrome. "Save the Forest to help WIN THE WAR!"

4.

Redwood Saga (1946) [1946; 10:28 min; B&W]
Cutting, loading, transportation, mill sawing and finishing operations of the Northern California's redwood lumber industry. Narrator describes how these magnificent trees that lived "since the birth of Christ" are being cut down for "better uses" - this film is a must see! Heartbreaking!

5.

Forestry and Forest Industries (1946) [1946; 10:17 min; B&W]
Forest rangers at work and people engaged in harvesting, processing, and distributing forest products. The work of the logger, trimmer, lumberjack, and grader is explained.
00:55 VO: "When the white man first came to North America, a great part of the continent was clothed in majestic forests." Aerial view of forests 01:25 Early settlers cutting and burning forests 01:45 Raw cleared land - deforested 01:54 Forest fires 03:59 Men in foreground fighting forest fire in background 05:38 CU Man's hands doing chemistry experiments 07:01 Logging camp 08:30 Aerial view lumberyard
