This advertisement from the beginning of the 1960s is presented by Johns-Manville to promote the low costing and professional installation of ceiling medallions designed by interior designer Michael Greer. It introduces the historical practice of painting and decorating ceilings all over the world among high-class societies and promotes the medallion to bring back this practice and make it accessible to anyone. (Note: although some fireproof Johns Manville ceiling tile products infamously made heavy use of asbestos, that aspect of the tiles is not mentioned in this film.) Michael Greer was a prominent interior designer who helped decorate rooms in the White House during the Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy Administrations. Some of his other famous clients were Broadway and Hollywood icons.
