Yes, I'll see that it's taken care of.

Of course. All right. All right.

- How do you do?

- How do you do?

- I received a telephone call this morning.

- Your name, please?

Jose O'Rourke.

Oh, yes, Mr. O'Rourke.

Miss Barrett's expecting you.

Miss Barrett? I don't believe

I've had the pleasure.

If you'd just be seated,

she'll be back shortly.

She's showing some buyers

through the factory.

Oh, could I join them? You see, I've never

seen a bathing suit in its natural state.

Oh, yes, of course.

- Miss Carroll.

- Yes?

- How far has the tour gotten?

- I think they're on the third floor.

Thank you. This way, Mr. O'Rourke.

- This way, please.

- Oh, yeah.

I usually make a rough sketch

of a new idea...

...and then give it to our artists

to retouch and refine.

The design is then put on the material...

...and the pattern is stamped

by these pattern machines...

...onto this special pattern paper.

They look a little like

old-fashioned piano rolls, don't they?

As you know, our bathing suits

are made of silk from China...

...rubber from Malaya, wool from Australia,

cotton from all over the world...

...and, of course, our own wonderful

synthetic rayons made right here.

And now, if we...

If you'll step this way, please.

I'd like to show you another

very interesting piece of equipment.

The spools of thread are putting together

a patchwork of colors...

...which revolve

into a beautiful harmony.

This strange-looking monster

is knitting swimsuit material of Celanese...

...rubber yarn, Lastex and Mattletex.

Now, those in the rear are set to handle

any type of material we intend to use.

We hang the pattern paper on,

tie the yar...

As I was saying...

The automatic blade cuts through hundreds

of thicknesses of material simultaneously.

See? And once the material is cut,

it is stacked in sizes ranging from 10 to 20.

You know, any woman over size 20

should have her bathing suit made to order.

Oh, I agree.

Shall we go on

to the finishing department?

And over there,

the girls are sewing the very first seam.

On this shaft back here, the girls

are working on the actual garment...

...sewing and finishing the neckline.

These girls are Mattletexing

the waistline for perfect fit.

And now, ladies and gentlemen,

you have seen the Neptune bathing suit...

...conceived, designed and created.

If you will kindly step into the salesroom,

you will see it come to life.

The Riviera suit.

The Christmas package.

The Ballerina.

The Sarong.

The Scotch Mist.

The Pantywaist.

The Olympic, for the sportswoman.

And now, the Streamliner.

Lovely, Miss Barrett. Perfectly charming.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

You'll notice that the suit
