This quaint film is a nifty piece of Minnesota history. MEMBER REVIEW: This is a paean to Taconite. It comes from the golden age of industrial and educational films. It runs less than 30 minutes, but is a great video. They take a scene at a dining hall from the State Fair to sell the use of taconite, when taconite was still experimental. It is a fun look at the past, in so many ways. The women leave to take the kiddies to the rides, while the men stay behind to listen to the mining engineer. There are many good panoramic scenes of the mines, which are interesting for those of us who were on the Iron Range trip August 2016, as you can see many of the places we went, but a lot more new and clean than what we saw. They show Hull Rust, Soudan and other mines, as well as scenes of Hibbing, Duluth, and other northern Minnesota cities. They even make reference to cleaning the water used in plants, something which was not a big deal in 1952. This is a fun look at the past, and well worth viewing.
