That Lou Gordon promo sounds pretty good. Too bad I can't see the show.

Some relatives actually had a copy of that Time "Faces in the News Book" when I was a kid. I can remember thinking how nifty it was to have all those covers in one place. Now you can go to their website and do the same thing for free!

Thank you for posting these. I miss *this* America. Anyone with me?

[LisaBaby67]

@BettinaBalser Yes.

Those Gala II paper towels look awesome. That "Color Tile" has a really nice sign.

Whatever happened to Burger Chef?

Love the old Star Trek bumper.

The Time ad is great.

I don't know why the fire sale ad used such tiny photos of the store.

[LisaBaby67]

@CarlD2 The Burger Chef by my house (way back then) was bought by Hardee's. Then Hardee's closed down. I haven't seen a Hardee's in this area in years.

[CarlD2]

@LisaBaby67 I still see Hardees but I rarely see more than a few cars in the parking lot.

[LisaBaby67]

@CarlD2 Yeah, Hardee's is no good. :P The one that took over Burger Chef in my old neighborhood eventually shut down and became something else.

Another great set of old school commercials. Another great post.

This set of promos was actually from April 3, 1977

I only go by what the label says. Thanks for correcting me.
