Description

A fictional film to advertise CWS's Pelaw products. Mrs. Bright goes shopping and leaves her daughter playing in the garden. The woman next door is grumbling about her housework, when she sees that the little girl has fallen, and goes to help her. She takes her into Mrs. Bright's kitchen, and notices how clean it is. When she comes home, Mrs. Bright tells her it is all due to Pelaw products. Scenes at the Pelaw factory; women are at work filling and packing cans of various kinds of polishes, as well as other household goods. Cut back to Mrs. Bright's kitchen; she shows her neighbour her cupboard which contains all the Pelaw products we saw being made.
