The company would become one of the largest producers of industrial films over the ensuing decades, and at one point operated out of Cleveland, Hollywood, Chicago, Detroit, and New York. Wilding is today best remembered for producing many of the US Armed Services' training and educational films during World War II.

Of particular note in the volume on offer are over 15 pages of copied client testimonials, and four pages of photographs of Wilding Studios during the making of various commercial films.

Very Good plus in string-bound, embossed leatherette wrappers. Wrappers moderately yapped. Contents Very Good, with dampstaining affecting the first five leaves (though leaves are not stuck together), light toning throughout, and several photographs and testimonials laid in(having become detached from the leaves over time).
