At Vintage Projects, I found an interesting 1943 Popular Mechanics article about employers using music to increase their workers' morale and productivity. A variety of different industries tried the experiment, from laundries to shipyards, featuring both live and recorded music. I especially like the caption under one photo of two female employees putting slips of paper in the Music Request Box: "Some like it sweet, some like it hot - both get their wish."
