That was one of the lamer ones from them, but I too lived for the last 5 seconds. I saw so many of these during Sunday football games. I actually used that line on a voice over audition in college.
"Come to the source. Employers' Insurance of Wausau."
I'd really like to see the one with the spelling bee if anyone remembers that one.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned that at the end of the commercial, they start the "WAUSAU" logo by using the "USA" found in part of the city's name to emphasize that they had a nationwide business.

@DanZero77 It was their sponsor.

@eyeh8nbc This company is no longer around. They were bought by Liberty Mutual in 1999. And LM slowey fazed them out. But yes thanks for posting this. I remember this as a little kid too. And i would always ask my dad what this was. But could never figure out what he was explaining to me..lol

Sweet!!!!!!!!! This was a fixture of 60 Minutes in the late 70s, and once I saw a YT user had an ad for this from the late 80s, a bit more modernized, but had that same familiar ending and music.
Holy shit. You just found the commercial that has been stuck inside of my brain for THIRTY-FIVE YEARS. I remember seeing this company's commercials when I was very young and, like you, the end with the graphics and sound just reverberated. I couldn't ever remember who'd done it (for some reason I thought it was Honeywell), but this is exactly what I remember seeing.
Thanks so much for posting this. I'm convinced now that I'm NOT dreaming the whole thing up!

@Cathalain Yeah- this aired during shows like "60 Minutes" that my parents watched back then- I had no idea of what they were selling, but that logo is just killer. I have a later commercial from around 1982 that uses the same logo and sounds but it's a little more modernized. This company seems to be still around now, but hasn't advertised in a long time. I was glad when I found this on tape, and when I transferred it to DVD I just had the end repeat for a long time!
