Wow! That takes me back! Burger Chef! Thanks so much for posting these! I remember a lot of those great TV 50 ads like Ollie Fretter as Super Fretter and WRIF--Baby!!! Wasn't there one with a kid who recorded his piano playing on a reel to reel tape recorder so his mom thought he was practicing while he was out playing ball? Highland Appliance maybe? They played it all the time as I recall. Man, I'd love to see some WKBD stuff with The Ghoul!

That sign used by that "Color Tile" thing is really cool-looking.
