These were television "time fillers" back in the early days of the medium. Networks would take anything that resembled a program and air it. Then along came "reruns": voila! problem solved.
Those long clay tobacco pipes were meant for tavern use. The tavern keeper would simply snap off the used tip of the stem for the next customer who wanted a smoke..thus the long stem on that pipe.
This episode is quite unusual for an "Industry on Parade." Most sequences are shot without sound but in this one, a mike was taken to the stock exchange/brokerage house to catch the dialogue between the woman and her client. "Model's Holiday" is the Langlois Filmusic cue that opens the Lionel Train segment. Backed with corporate propaganda dollars, and written and edited by old NBC and newsreel people, this must have been the most well-put-together filler series of the '50s.
That's interesting. I wonder then why we have so many homeless? Can't they just go on government assistance too? I guess if no one helps them they just have to live on the streets anyways. What a country!
There is no profit in war lmao I was waiting for him to say there is no profit in pharmaceuticals lol I love these videos but the propaganda is real and strong!
I really like this series. I reckon the producers were really trying to get things going. We need that attitude today.

Local stations usually scheduled these 15 minute programs on weekends (often on Sunday mornings) through the 1960's.
I remember these or similar programs shown in theaters before the feature film along with newsreels and cartoons.
My understanding is that these were distributed to and shown in theaters, just as you say.
Really great episode.

Keep all the resin for himself in the end.
The Lionel section just brought a tear to my eye. Amazing.

This is an amalgam of several different quarter-hour episodes from the early and mid-1950's.
No profit in war, unless you are a politician.
'According to Hoyle.'
“Bad for business” that’s funny.
episodes 5, 135, and 100
Good old days when everyone had to work! No government programs to feed the lazy, everyone had to step up to the plate to feed their families!
