These improbable productions were meant to educate and motivate the sales force to sell cars, appliances, tractors, soda, and a thousand other products. Though most of these shows were lost to the universe, some were recorded and distributed to convention attendees via souvenir vinyl records. The little-known world of industrial shows is reconstructed through the record collection of author Steve Young, who has spent twenty years finding the extremely rare souvenir albums as well as tracking down and interviewing the writers and performers. Through the records themselves as well as behind-the-scenes stories, a new perspective on American history, culture, and business emerges. 650 0 $a Musicals $x History and criticism. 700 1 $a Murphy, Sport. 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006074406.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AB514F16776911E3809E827FDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
