friends. This record comes to you through the Sales Talk Transcription Company, Incorporated: your speaker, the Mechanical Salesman. May I take the pleasure of introducing Mr. J. Widdecombe Billows, the inventor of the Billows Feeding Machine, a practical device which automatically feeds your men while at work? Don't stop for lunch: be ahead of your competitor. The Billows Feeding Machine will eliminate the lunch hour, increase your production, and decrease your overhead. Allow us to point out some of the features of this wonderful machine: its beautiful, aerodynamic, streamlined body; its smoothness of action, made silent by our electro-porous metal ball bearings. Let us acquaint you with our automaton soup plate -- its compressed-air blower, no breath necessary, no energy required to cool the soup. Notice the revolving plate with the automatic food pusher. Observe our counter-shaft, double-knee-action corn feeder, with its synchro-mesh transmission, which enables you to shift from high to low gear by the mere tip of the tongue. Then there is the hydro-compressed, sterilized mouth wiper: its factors of control insure against spots on the shirt front. These are but a few of the delightful features of the Billows Feeding Machine. Let us demonstrate with one of your workers, for actions speak louder than words. Remember, if you wish to keep ahead of your competitor, you cannot afford to ignore the importance of the Billows Feeding Machine. - Modern Times (1936)

Oven Fries with Oregano & Feta
4.5 lbs yellow potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 3/4-inch fries
6 tbsp sunflower oil
1 tbsp flaked sea salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 tsp dried oregano
150g feta, roughly crumbled
1 Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place a large pot filled with salted water over high heat; bring to a boil.
Add the potatoes and cook until they start to soften at the edges but still hold their shape, 7 to 8 minutes.
Drain and set aside to dry for 5 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl. Add the sunflower oil and salt and mix well.
2 Tip the potatoes onto two large parchment paper-lined baking sheets (don’t overcrowd) and bake until golden brown and crisp, stirring a few times during cooking, 40 to 50 minutes.
3 About 5 minutes before the fries are ready, heat the olive oil and garlic in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
Fry the garlic gently until pale golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the fries from the oven and pour the olive oil and garlic overtop; bake for 4 more minutes.
Remove from the oven and, while piping hot, sprinkle with the oregano and feta. Serve immediately.
Get ahead: By par-boiling the potatoes up to 6 hours in advance.
