Originally on two reels, this film was recorded by Harry Fechte and narrated by Roderick Schoenlank in 1959, after the National Municipal League (now the National Civic League) and Look Magazine designated Granite City an All-America City. This designation is officially listed as 1958, but the film mentions 1959. We offer our apologies for the audio quality in the second half of the film. This was caused by time and improper storage of the film reels.
The mayor of Granite City at this time was Leonard R. Davis.
