Western Michigan at work. 1949-07-05
In this installment of "Western Michigan at work," Dr. Willis Dunbar reviews his visit to the site of the Consumer Sand and Gravel company and discusses the report from the W.E. Upjohn Foundation for Community Research concerning the availability of attractive industrial parcels in Kalamazoo, MI. Dunbar speaks how the gravel is dug and separated by Consumer Sand and Gravel and also touches on the cement block making process. Dunbar discusses the report from Upjohn Institute, which highlights the shortage of attractive sites for industrial expansion in Kalamazoo, and urges his listeners to consider how large they wish their city to become, reflecting on the benefits and burdens of a large industrial sector and the strain on public services which can be caused by a large number of industrial workers.
