I found this film very interesting. Very useful footage. I think this film provides a rare insight into what stores used to look like. Thanks Mr Prelinger.

The lady with the scary hair must have pulled out six or seven of those dresses to look at, even though there were only two color schemes and they were otherwise identical. And that hair! Man, you could frighten small children into obedience by threatening them with that. "You be good or we'll take you to the hairdresser and make you look just like her!" Fun stuff!

It might not be as entertaining to watch, but this is useful stock footage of shopping and stores in the era. It probably wasn't recorded with sound. These were clearly a series of shots that they were going to cut up to turn into a commercial, not the commercial itself. The fact that footage like this is here is why this is called an archive, and not a youtube type entertainment channel.

SO while waiting for Diesel story to load, I thought I'd sneak a peak at 'Dollar Store' which essentially are outtakes from a commerical advertising the store. A woman with mile high hair, looks over a rack of dresses which all look the same. Then she looks over a teapot, a radio and a pitcher lol. Finally, there are some shots of FISHING LURES! Oooh.

★★ · Sound? · SoiledShortz · 2008-11-18

Why does the description say "sound"? Am I missing something? With sound it may be a little more interesting. Otherwise, it's a bore.
