A "minute movie" - really, a 60 second commercial - made to be shown in movie houses during the Depression. Three young women impress their men with their home sewing skills.
Really cool how back in those days they had trained professionals demoing products. DeWalt used to do that too in the 30s and 40s - they'd have 'shows' where they'd demonstrate a tool's capabilities and show people how to use it. Their radial arm saws sold like hotcakes because of that.
They don't make commercials like this anymore. It seems that the only ones on TV are for food, expensive cars, and other junk like that.
