More info on the Jacksonville plant...
 

It was reported in the article of May 11, 1928 of The Flordia Times Union that "Motion pictures of the operations at the plant...were to be shown in Florida theaters".

Now wouldn't that be a find if those showed up somewhere in the archives of some Flordia University or such!

Steve,

I am in Jacksonville and was wondering if you have a copy of that newspaper article then maybe figure out where to start to find the movie. I sent you some info a long time ago about the plant and would like to run this topic down if I can. If the movie was in the form of a newsreel, it might be in the Library of Congress. Or if the movie in question was produced by Ford, then the Benson might have it archived. Dale Gosa.

I'm not home right now so I can't help with a name but there is an organization out of Miami that has a vast collection of old films from Florida.
