The pedagogical level and the production values both have the same source - this is an advertisement. The Jam Handy Organization made what we would now call sponsored content. It is unfair to compare the production values of this to modern educational content or modern amateur content - they're operating at different scales and with different resources.

In the past - as in now - media production is driven by the demands of capital.

We can wax nostalgic for commercials all we want but comparing it to a different modern product does a disservice to the past and media workers in the present.
