Film taken in a Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn Inc. Advertising office setting with people dressed in business attire. Video opens with crowd of men and women sitting in chairs. Then man at water cooler sips from paper cone cup and dispenses more water. Sign in fancy cursive says, “That’s all from Chicago, folks!” Drawing of a man jumping around in a General Mills flour sack, a baseball cap flying off his head. A face cut out from a photo has been pasted where the head should be. Text below drawing says “Minneapolis.” Shot of buildings. One building has a radio tower on top with the letters “NW” attached to it. Shot of what looks like a waiting room with a city mural on the walls. Man walks to receptionist window to talk to receptionist. Smoke rises into shot, presumably from someone sitting with a cigarette off-camera. Shot of a hallway, empty except for desks on either side. Cut to man at large desk talking to a woman. As two men enter room, the woman gets up. The men shake hands with the man at the desk, then they sit and talk. Camera pans to spearfish mounted on wall.
