WGN Radio 720 - "Bob Collins' Low Budget" (Commercial, 1981)
Views: 1365
Here's a commercial for WGN Radio 720 AM in which their afternoon drive personality, Bob Collins, complains about the threadbare props he's being forced to use for this commercial (with an RCA 77DX microphone thrown in for good measure), while bemoaning how the station's other personalities (such as Wally Phillips, Roy Leonard and Bill Berg) get better setups for theirs. (Collins moved into the 2pm-6pm slot in June 1981.) Features the animated "We've Got Chicago Talking" at the end.

Views: 637
Here's a commercial for Northwest Federal Savings advertising their new Tax Free CD (which in those days only meant "certificate of deposit" - the Compact Disc wasn't introduced until a year later). Note how one of the business-suited people sheds his suit and leaves that crowd to join the more middle-class crowd nearby. As noted in a lower-third text, the terms are $500 minimum deposit, one year term, penalty for early withdrawal. (Ah, the days . . . )

Views: 989
Here's a political ad from GOP Presidential candidate Ronald Reagan, which ran four days before the election. Here he speaks about the need to maintain a "margin of safety" to preserve the peace in the world through more than one means - economic, through alliances among other nations, and militarily.
