Featured review
Can you help us find an episode?
My grandmother was a contestant and winner on this show on December 10 (unknown year), and at the request of my dad, a lot of our family is wondering if anyone has a recording of an episode with Johnnie Sue Howard/Johnnie Sue Bower or as they might have called her on the show Mrs. Charles W. Bower.
She died a couple years after she aired on the show, so to see footage of her would delight many members of our family. This show was a great opportunity for families who genuinely used these items to improve their quality of life.
My grandmother ended up winning the sewing machine which she used to repair her veteran of war husband's pants (he wore a back brace which constantly wore his pants out)and any other garments in the family. Back then these were "depression era" families who understood means of "saving" "re-using" and "conserving".
If anyone has this episode, please contact me at CharlesB1127@aol.com we'd all love to get a copy.
- from a newspaper article; "...the master of ceremonies Jack Bailey, not only presented Mrs. Bower with an electric sewing machine, but many other gifts including a refrigerator, a chrome dinette set, a vacuum cleaner, a deep fat fryer, an electric mixer, a set of dishes, a set of silver, a necklace and bracelet, a watch, a new outfit of clothes and toys for her little daughter and four dozen red roses. Her hair was styled at an exclusive hair salon and she and her husband were the dinner guests of Harry Mynatt at the Coconut Grove in Hollywood's largest hotel, The Ambassador." - Mary Fisher
