"Mesmerizing electric advertisements, alluring scenes of the glorious Midwest with its sparkling rivers, majestic mountains, jewel-like lakes, historic monuments, cities and towns meet your eyes in this marvelous set of DV... more »Ds. The DVDs do not stop with merely enchanting you with these fascinating visuals, they provide an edifying peek into the charming world of outdoors advertising and the newspaper industry. We also get a good idea of how the Rock Island Railroad Company contributed to the economy of the country. All the films in this set carry a promotional tone and are consequently upbeat and exciting. Produced by masters such as Jam handy and Josef von Sternberg, these films are stacked with loads of statistical data and graphic visuals, which render them both delightful and informative. The narration in the clip "Midwest Holiday" is especially charming as is the glorious colored footage of the mid-western states. I was enchanted by the films on this DVD and am convinced that it will be a boon to all collectors of historic DVDS on travel and industry."« less
