The thoroughly modern and efficient office of today. Of course, that reminds me of this piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akwfqjtBn7Y

That said, when I heard "holiday for strings," I thought it must be by Leroy Anderson. When my brother Dave died, I inherited a CD of Leroy Anderson, and I felt that his music was just *in the air" when I was a kid. At least in adult square culture. It seems that so many of your postcards have that same 50's-60's adult square culture vibe that I hear in this sort of music.

Oh, there ya go--- that's the typewriter song!

Didja see that documentary about the high-production-value real-Broadway-stars custom musicals for big-company conventions? Ooh, look, you can find it by googling that phrase I just used there.

Looks like it's not in the AADL catalog yet. I'll request they procure it.

I heard about the industrial musicals when the producer of that documentary was interviewed on at least one NPR show. I hope it appears at the library because I'd love to see it.

It reminds me of "We are the Men of Texaco" from when I was a kid.
