Summary

Reportage about an advertising parade in Eindhoven.

The reportage shows an advertising parade of Eindhoven’s tradespeople. The film opens with the advertising cars of five companies and retailers: Piet Beelen & Co (for safes and vault doors); the tobacco shop Insulinde van J. Strijbos Rutten; Antoon Donders’s ‘Decates’ Tryes; Jos van de Laak’s ‘Bloemensalon’; and the construction-materials firm Bouwmaterialen N.V. H.J.V.A. v/h Jan Booms. On the last car, construction workers lay bricks in a wall, followed by brief footage of the parade, which was attended by many spectators. It is an almost carnivalesque event, with floats and life-size dolls.
