Pillow Talk

Pillow Talk

We visit the corporate headquarters of the Cramton Cushion Company.

Cramton was a recognized industry leader in the pillow sector – until Old Man Cramton laid his head down one night and didn’t wake up. The business administrators who took over decided to bolster the bottom line by cutting funding for research and development. A pillow is a pillow, what is there to research?

Now that Kingsley Industries has entered the cushion business with their new hi-tech Pillow Division, the bean counters at Cramton are starting to panic.
