IDEAL CLOTHING COMMERCIAL Retro JINGLE FROM THE 60's 70's

"Quonset" is the correct spelling. It's a type of building that was invented in World War II that was very quick to construct. The US military built thousands of them throughout the world, and in the USA too, from the 1940s onwards. By the '60s, when this song was recorded, old Quonset huts were considered rundown and semi-trashy, which is why the lyrics apologize for this store being located in one.

I've been talking about this commercial forever to folks here in Pittsburgh who have NO idea what I'm talking about. I love it. A very memorable jingle that reminds me of simpler time in my life. Thanks for the add.

Sounds like Dinah Shore.

the store is still in Hammonton NJ

"Call for Action....Greenwood 7-5312"

call for action! greenwood 75312!

O lord, me & my sister used to sing this when we were kids in the 70's!

This jingle will live with me forever! I wish there was video for it somewhere.

Update on 10/13/2009:

Phillies - NL East champions - they just beat the Rockies in the NLDS and are on their way to the NLCS vs. the Dodgers. C'mon - repeat for Harry!

Flyers & Eagles - 2nd place

Sixers - not playing yet

Rt. 30 on the way down to the shore. Place is still there. Gotta love the good old days.
