    People are downvoting you, but I get it. My dad loved old time radio shows. And his favorite part was the old advertisements.

      Dunno if it still works, but I use to ask the Amazon echo to play Abbott and Costello (from “who’s on first?” fame). What it played included the commercials of the day.

      You could hear the advertisers make the claim that Lucky Strike cigarettes were approved by a majority of doctors.

      I’m guessing the downvoters have no nostalgia for advertisements–because they never watched them or because they are too young to nostalge–or that they are acolytes of Rod Serling.
