Classic TV Commercials - Vol 4

Here is another entry into my Classic TV Commercials series. These date from 1954-1970. All but two of these were mastered from the original 35mm negatives. The other two from 35mm fine grain network prints.

Thanks for another nice set of old ads. You always do a great job transferring these prints to YouTube. I look forward to these because they're what I spend most of the time I'm on YouTube looking for old TV ads, and I know you're gonna have some really cool stuff for us all to see. Thanks again!

The 1967 Fedders commercial at 4:16 plays more like an "industrial film" than a TV ad [the production music used makes it sound like one]...they're still in business today. "Two-fer" General Foods spots for "Tang" and "Gravy Train" fromj 1965; Bil Baird's "Champy the Lion" pitched Wheaties during 1954-'55 (Baird himself makes a rare on-camera appearance here). Jean Sullivan appeared in Procter & Gamble's "Cheer" ads during the same period (note the company's famous "moon and stars" trademark).

The Schaefer ad is from around 1969. CBS' Saturday morning "MIGHTY MOUSE PLAYHOUSE" (1955-'66) was primarily sponsored during the late '50s by Colgate Dental Cream; "Our Hero" appeared in at least one "integrated commercial" for Colgate during each program; this example is from 1957- Tom Morrison, who headed Terrytoons' story department, is Mighty Mouse's voice....Allen Swift is "Mr. Tooth Decay". "Gardol" was Colgate's trademark for the formula "Sodium N-lauroyl Sarcosinate"...
