Here's another Illinois Lottery drawing on WFLD Channel 32 for all you lottery fans out there.

Still haven't confirmed whether that's Dean Richards doing the voiceover or not.

There's that background music again. You can also hear it in a 1984 Lincoln Tech commercial and in other WFLD Lottery Drawings that I have posted earlier. It's called "Power Generator" and is part of the Network Production Library of music. You can find it on an album of theirs called "Cor...

Here's a commercial for A&P Food Stores, with a butcher on duty pointing to the right kind of London broil for two women to buy (one with a pretty obvious voice overdub) while on their shopping trip. This scenario was cited as "another reason why you'll do better at A&P."

Here's another, shorter commercial for a long-gone restaurant that had locations in the Chicagoland area - Mister Steak. (no, not Mr. Beef!)

The production slate at the beginning shows that this was produced at WFLD Channel 32, and we see the Kaiser Broadcasting Company logo as well. This was number 7573 (I wonder what the significance of these numbers were exactly?) and was directed by Don Shannon. Record date was 6-27-75.
