The first story shows how American ingenuity dealt with the lack of nylon stockings during World War II (virtually all nylon was used for the war effort). By using a special bar of soap, a woman could have a tan on her legs that looked just like nylon hosiery. In the next story, women economize by wearing reversible garments. In Beverly Hills, California, inventor Glen Cook demonstrates the “pumpola”. By pressing the device’s foot pedals, a person can play chords on the piano, leaving the hands free to play a second instrument (in Mr. Cook’s case, a violin). Lastly, we visit the headquarters of the Troop Carrier Command in Grenada, Mississippi. |
