Here's a short industrial film produced by the Kimberly-Clark Company. In an era before MacDonald's was ubiquitous, and people who ate in their cars were served by waitresses on roller skates instead speaking their order into a microphone and picking it up at a window, some people were confused by the details of how to behave in the situation. They required instruction. Shorts like this provided them.
Etiquette is a constantly evolving marker of propriety. Nowadays, a man who always holds a door for a woman is considered odd; I have adjusted by the rule that the first person at the door holds it for the other in the party. But if you're interested in the dull, dead days of when I was still a child, this is a pretty good set of instructions.
But look at those prices!
