PSAs and Instructional Films from decades past

A diversion from the politics and craziness.
Let me take you back to a simpler time.


"Johnny Smoke"
Anti-smoking PSA from 1967


Four minutes of sheer weirdness.
"Let's Make a Sandwich"
Sally adds potato chips to the menu. They used to be exclusively picnic fare, but they've joined the host of useful accessory foods...




In the 1950s, the Calvin Company produced a bunch of educational films called "The Plant Supervisors' Problems" series.
One major problem was having to deal with those crazy women. The plant supervisor relates his harrowing tale of Myrtle Malloy.

"The Trouble With Women"
OK now Walt, you've had your little joke! Give her to somebody else. I asked for a man!

Paging the women of ATS. Women of ATS to the instructional video thread...

The next time I go to the grocery store and there's a woman manager, I'm going to say,
"Hey, I can take a joke as well as the next guy, but c'mon! A woman manager?"
I'll bet that will go over well.
