This is one of the many sponcers of The Annie Oakley Series('53-''57). ..CARNATION.
Annie (Gail Davis) and Tagg(Jimmy Hawkins) usually did their own commercials. Many of the stars of that era did the same.
Canada Dry and TV Time Popcorn was Annie's first sponcers. Then came Hostess...you know...Wonder Bread, Twinkies, Snow Balls, Cup Cakes etc. and Laura Scudders Potato Chips. Crest Toothpaste.
When Carnation sponsored "ANNIE OAKLEY" in syndication on the West Coast, they often had her and "Tagg" deliver a brief pitch for their products at the end of the show. This is one example, for Carnation Ice Cream (available primariy in California). Note the pitcher of milk on the table- a subtle reminder of Carnation's homogenized milk in the carton.
