The projection system, you can see in a photo, was made by Vitarama. Vitarama developed a number of interesting projection systems, but their best known was Cinerama, the three-camera widescreen format that was briefly popular in the '50s but had long-lasting influence by popularizing widescreen films. One wonders if Fred Waller, Cinerama's inventor, worked on this project. He was sort of an inventor of the classic type. In another photo we see what I think is a Teletype Model 15, behind the clerk handling an impressive rolodex. It even appears to have a Bell Canada Trans-Canada Telephone System badge on it. Transmitting orders was a very popular application of teletype service, and a lot of Bell advertising in both the US and Canada focused on customers like Hudson's Bay and Montgomery Ward.
