Martin North Street Factory, 1939



Here's some great footage of the Nazareth, PA Martin guitar factory in 1939.

Note the soundtrack "Thank You Mr. Martin, I'm Alright," a song extolling the virtues of a beat up '43 D-18 pawnshop find for $100 (in 1964)!  Makes me wonder who is playing my beat up '72 D-18 these days.  I can still describe every major scratch, crack, and puncture.  Should our paths cross again, a positive identification would be easy...
