This film - originally titled as "The Miracle of the Can" - is a vintage documentary sponsored by the American Can Company. It was released in circa 1956.
The film shows history of can making in the United States, from the earliest examples to modern vacuum sealed cans. We will follow the fascinating and largely unknown story of how the introduction of the can in the 19th Century directly affected the agricultural economy and indirectly, the overall economic development of the American nation. The development of can design to accommodate food industry needs, consolidation of the can industry in 1901 and the evolution of can manufacturing techniques and processes will be examined thoroughly for it is an exemplary example of mass production development in the 20th Century.
Note: Just past the 19-minute part, the film turns into an extended "how it's made" segment.
If you're interested in the attitudes of 1950s America for your Sociology thesis, this film is pure gold.
BACKGROUND / CONTEXT
Tin can:
A tin can, tin, steel can, steel packaging or a can, is a container for the distribution or storage of goods, composed of thin metal. Many cans require opening by cutting the "end" open; others have removable covers. Cans hold diverse contents: foods, beverages, oil, chemicals, etc. Steel cans are made of tinplate (tin-coated steel) or of tin-free steel. In some dialects, even aluminum cans are called "tin cans".
Food canning:
Canning is a method of preserving food in which the food contents are processed and sealed in an airtight container. Canning provides a shelf life typically ranging from one to five years, although under specific circumstances it can be much longer. A freeze-dried canned product, such as canned dried lentils, could last as long as 30 years in an edible state.
Nutritional value of canned foods:
A 1997 study found that canned fruits and vegetables are as rich with dietary fiber and vitamins as the same corresponding fresh or frozen foods, and in some cases the canned products are richer than their fresh or frozen counterparts. The heating process during canning appears to make dietary fiber more soluble, and therefore more readily fermented in the colon into gases and physiologically active byproducts. Canned tomatoes have a higher available lycopene content. Consequently, canned meat and vegetables are often among the list of food items that are stocked during emergencies.
The American Can Company:
The American Can Company was a manufacturer of tin cans. It was a member of the Tin Can Trust, that controlled a "large percentage of business in the United States in tin cans, containers, and packages of tin." The American Can Company was incorporated in 1901. It had its headquarters in Manhattan, New York City until 1970, when it moved into a Greenwich, Connecticut facility, which had been developed on 150 acres of wooded land in the late 1960s. In the early 1980s American Can renamed itself Primerica and ended its operations in Greenwich.

I love these old educational short films! Thank you for posting. I have to give credit to the filmmakers of this one- they included women in the labs and not just housewives or line workers. Quite the rarity given the era!
I’ve seen this like 10 times, it has such a a hopeful worldview, it’s so calming and wonderful to imagine all the food being saved and fed to all the people.
Well done! Thanks for reminding us how we got to where we are!
Yes maybe in another 100 years we can completely destroy the earth
Where do you find these old gems? Please, keep'm coming! Simply, . . . . AWESOME! Thank you.
No way in Hell would I get a call at 2 a.m. and just start drawing a can from the other guys instructions on the other of the phone
these videos break my heart
I just dont understand where we went so wrong
its a tragedy that will be studied for eternity if we survive what we are going through
These documentaries are like watching a Bob Ross video. So comforting. Thanks for sharing them. ❤
Fantastic Achievements!
Much more involved than easily Understood
Thank you for your helpful videos!
This is so fascinating
Thank you for this film.
Interesting process few are aware of, thanks!
A 42 minute documentary on the tin can, I can’t wait
Such a beautiful documentary. Like watching some old movie...
Holy crap! Heavy on the religiosity, even for then. Science got us to that point, not repeating words in a room with other people.
Like it, or not, faith and religion inspired much science back in those days.
They managed to shoot a whole documentary about cans without mentioning the invention that made the success of the con possible in the first place, the Autoklav
Well, your comment led me to do research on that (autoklav) today & it was an educational & insightful history & science lesson that was never taught in public education in U.S.A.
@@johanmassy5290 Yes, I find it fascinating too (but I didn't know that you don't learn about it in US schools)
3 dollars 18 cent for a cart of groceries, huh? well ma'am for that amount today you'll only got the peas.

preserving food was the key, canning was the solution until plastic. Most folks don't know it was began out of military needs, to transport and feed troops far from home.
Interesting Judeao-Christian cultural references here and there that were just assumed in 1956, but probably make most folks cringe today. The best segment that illustrates how democratic, capitalistic achievement betters everyone's life is found near the end using the pebble in the pool analogy (37:08-37:40). Our system is not perfect, but it has lifted millions out of poverty and into prosperity. Thanks be to God.
Oh My God, send her this channel
The medium is the message...Marshall McLuhan.
Because men put their minds together and said, “we can do it!”
Just learning how to rebuild society
Out of curiosity what would the can look like if it’s made after the apocalypse?
When I see these types of films I always think of the Simpsons’ episode “come back Zinc!
Pork and magic beans
👍
When was canned laughter invented?
How does a county goes from THIS to what usa is today
You mean giving me the capacity to instantly read a message that you wrote from clear across the world? The miracles never cease! 🤷🏾
happier times...
Except for the blacks who were not allowed in the restaurants, factories or this video 🤷🏾
Most of these videos are nearly 100 years old... and are more informative, and less insulting or IQ lowering than any modern entertainment or educational media. Definitely technologIcal advancement... but has Civilization or the average human progressed or regressed? We seem less capable and self sufficient
This may be a modern miracle but this chick Valarie I work with has a can that is even more amazing.
...and hopefully not just one can but cans...
Did entrepreneurs ever actually use labor saving devices to raise wages instead of laying people off?
Do you know any history ? Guess how much was the minimum wage 100 years ago ? The more technology and advanced society the better the wages.
bro they literally said that in this documentary lol.
@@simetric6551 Guess how much a loaf of bread cost 100 years ago !? There wasn't a minimum wage 100 years ago, Do you know any history ? So in the year 2022 there is so much more technology and a more so called advanced society yet a bug so small we can't even see it shuts down the entire world and its economy !
"Labor saving devices" lol. Impossible because times change

"Permanent airtight seal." Permanent? How are we supposed to eat what's inside if it's permanent.
I reckon English is not your Primary language.
It's fine, I, myself, as well don't speak English as a primary language
What they meant by Permanent Airtight Seal is that the Seal isn't easily Tampered/messed up with, unlike for example, using cloth or leather to create an Airtight area... Where using Cloth or Leather may let air escapes, Using glass or tin cans create a fully (aka Permanent) airtight seal where air does not escapes as easily when it is disturbed.
they said permanent, not unbreakable. you eat what's in side by opening the can with a can opener thus breaking the otherwise permanent seal. of course with enough time (decades maybe centuries depending on the environment and quality of the particular can) the can may corrode and the seal may break.
@@aribantala i feel like this is a dad joke
Stole everything they got from my ancestors
The actual movie is quite farcical when you consider that preservation has been round long time before this actual picture was made it makes very little mention of earlier methods or how cans had some disastrous results for the British navy due to lead poisoning be etc etc so that this down as I do not like
well the documentary is about canning, not general food preservation methods...although there's another documentary on UA-cam from the 50s about canning that does touch on the history of food preservation (drying, salting, etc). I think going on about specific problems that came about involving cans like the lead poisoning that you speak of is kind of off subject. obviously the company that made this film is trying to promote canning, but farcical is a pretty strong word, as overall the narrative they're putting out in this documentary is accurate. canning was a major breakthrough in food preservation, and the advancements into the 20th century really did allow for increased food availability for people and reduced prices. mentioning random failures from the early stages of the technology would just be weird with the narrative of the film, and if anything, would be needlessly worrisome to the audience more than anything (including interesting - consider the context of the documentary).
GOING HUNGRY GET OLD VERY FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALL LIFE MATTERS!!!!!!!
