An overview of Sitkin Smelting and Refining, Inc., a family-controlled public corporation employing over 300 people in Lewistown, Pennsylvania. Bill, Leon, Jack, Lew, The Preacher--the heart and substance of an American business. From the company Christmas party to reflections by the board chairman, a personal look at a small business located in rural Pennsylvania. Most American businesses are small and most are family-owned. This one is typical in those regards. It is also typical in that the business--a scrap metal recycling firm--is truly the people who work there, from foundry to front office. Their personalities, their methods, their capacities make this the unique workplace it is. The film surveys the business, featuring Lew Sitkin, chairman of the board, and Clayt "The Preacher" Rheam, who began working with Lew's father. Their ages are similar, their viewpoints are not. From the "Notes on an American Business" series. Produced by P J O'Connell for Penn State Public Broadcasting and The Rural America Documentary Project. ©1977
