    Regis Toomey Is Mister Money

    Regis Toomey uses the learning machine to transport high school students Jan Stine and Lauri O'Neil into his office and teach them about credit.

    It's a short film produced by John Sutherland. He produced a lot of animated shorts in the 1950s on a variety of subjects, frequently on subjects such as money, economy and subjects similar to this one. Usually they discussed how money matters worked at the time, as this one does. Sometimes, when it discussed theory, it made use of then-standard, conservative and capitalistic theories.

    On that basis, this one is a good model of how credit worked in the period.
