Subject: Sell Cars, Sell Jam Handy
Salesmen today do not do the pricing. The sales manager does. Notice at the dealership how they all have to go to the back before the price is finalized?
Saw that scene on the assembly line with the minz astride a rack that moves back and forth on their film about the Flint MI GM plant. For some reason, fascinating to me. Wonder if anybody ever got accidently welded to a frame.
This film amounts to showing how Jam Handy sells GM apparently in an effort to sell ITS services.
Subject: Well done
Subject: Jam it up your mass!
Get them young - in the schools! Just like the Nazis! Reaching thousands! Entire families!
I had not considered this before, but Jam Handy ranks with Leni Riefenstahl in propaganda film making.
And a nice shot of the uncompleted SF-Oakland Bay Bridge.

Subject: The Master Key
The film was obviously created for a regional sales meeting, and it explains Chevorlet's strategy of using short films and pseudo-newsreels to help sell cars. This method, the film explains, is help drive a mass marketing campaign and let the salesmen focus on the parts that only he can do.
Most importantly, the film answers the why of selling, rather than the more common how (cf. "Hired!").
