Paging Women

In this proto-infomercial by SC Johnson Wax, we see what looks to be a woman’s TV show on the surface. Women learn fashion tips at the stylish NY Airport’s TWA Terminal, how to tastefully arrange their furniture from influential 1950s designer William Pahlmann , how to care for their house plants and learn how to make goulash with hot dogs by zany actor Walter Slezak (Lifeboat, Treasure Island, Bedtime for Bonzo). And since several of SC Johnson Wax’s products were aerosol based, women also learn how to effectively use an aerosol can.
