The "Alpha-Bits" postman was known as "Lovable Truly" (Bob McFadden provided his voice)- introduced in 1963 before he became a regular character on "LINUS THE LIONHEARTED", the Saturday morning cartoon series General Foods packaged to sell Post cereals on CBS from 1964 through '66 (this ad is from 1965, when Post cereals came in new "compact boxes"). The Peter Paul ad is from 1965. The "Cheerios" ad is from 1962, when it originally appeared on "THE BULLWINKLE SHOW".
The "FLINTSTONES" spot is a sponsor I.D. from the first two seasons, for Miles Laboratories, their primary sponsor at the time; another variation was where Wilma asked, "Where's the One-A-Day Brand Multiple Vitamins?", with Fred pulling it out {"Right here, in the apothecary-style bottle!"}. I had one of those Sinclair transistor radios; my father got it for me when he stopped in at a Sinclair station in 1966 [sounded pretty good, too!]. Paul Frees is the announcer in the DX ad...
The "Jets" ad is from 1960, originally seen on "ROCKY AND HIS FRIENDS"; the Pepsi spot is a theatrical advertisement- probably from 1939, when "Pepsi" {the tall one} and "Pete" (the short one) began to appear in their newspaper and magazine ads, variously drawn by Rube Goldberg and Stan Randall (short color/black & white ads in movie theaters were quite common from the '30s through the '60s)...
