Talkie Unit Helps Clinch Sale
JUST as visualized in the Charles Chaplin picture, Modern Times, the salesman can now break down sales resistance with a talking film device produced by a Ft. Wayne, Ind., manufacturer.
The carrying case, containing a projector, amplifier, screen and shadow box, records, needles, and films is very compact.
The more things change.
I used my laptop with a video presentation in it for the last 4 years to sell German windows and Detroit-made sunrooms. And to sell gutter protection.
There wasn’t a video for the seamless siding, and I’m glad I didn’t have to carry that 40 foot section of it around with me.
I would have had to carry a lot of records and film to make the presentations just a mere 70 years ago!!

Is it a slideshow as opposed to motion picture?
