Mickey was down on his luck when he made this ad. A short time later, he made a big comeback with "Sugar Babies" on Broadway, but he continued to make Rainier commercials out of gratitude to the company for hiring him when no one else would...
I like your video clip and have rated it as awesome. Please check out my latest one on 1930's movie stars: Mickey Rooney, Johnny Davis, Mickey Rooney, Clark Gable, Errol Flynn, Joan Crawford...
Mick's partner was Boone Kirkman, a heavyweight boxer who was fairly popular in Seattle at the time. Boone's claim to fame was being one of five boxers to fight George Foreman in Toronto in a made for TV stunt in the late 70's.
Thank 'YOU' Skippy ! ! ! A wonderful ad and piece of memorabilia ! ! ! The next one's on me ! :^)

Boone was also my neighbor and one of my Dad's best friends when he lived in the Renton area.
