Summary
| Description |
English: In 1949 and 1950, Papa Bernard of the Natural Foods Institute (i.e. the Vita-Mix Corporation) worked with Ray Culley of Cinécraft Productions, a Cleveland, Ohio motion picture studio, to produce a series of filmed infomercials for the Vita-Mix blender and a handful of other products. These are thought to be the very first TV infomercials. A number of these early infomercials and other early TV commercials and programs produced by Cinécraft are on the Hagley Museum ad Library web site - Hagley.org. |
