Your Town: A Story of America (1940)

Tribute to the strengths of the American system of free enterprise, funded by a large manufacturers' association. Young Jerry, who stops to observe a rowdy labor action at a local factory, is almost drawn into a brawl but for a policeman who takes him into "protective custody" and drives him home. There, Gramp explains how every man, woman and child in town has a stake in the factory's success, and convinces Jerry that modern capitalism isn't all bad. This was back when the policemen drove convertibles and saved young impressionable children from becoming hippies. Producer: Audio Productions Inc.
