Commercials from the Past???

You got the location 300 S. Western:...........Now answer the other questions....Carltonskeeper will probably chime in with the answer...

Actually, it was 301 S. Western, not 300 S. Western. And that was not the original store. They started by selling junk furniture on Reno somewhere around Walker. The founders were Bud and Don. Along with them were Jude, Jody, and Buck Owens... Yes. THE Buck Owens.

I am so glad that I did not spend many Saturdays when growing up with my grandparents.

Porter Wagoner, Jude and Jody......all that crap.

It's no wonder I got into drugs at an early age......

Worse than all was Hee-Haw........

you're right about the Reno Store...they used to have a store that took Most of the trade-ins the Duke Evans would get from his Big Red Furniture Store that later on moved to about 7th and S. Western. Now, you're right about Bud and Don being the founders....But Not right about Jude n Jody or Buck Owens....Jude and Jody worked for Bud and Don on the Saturday night show they had on Reno and then when they moved to 301 S. Western they worked from the full-time.....There was a falling out and Jude and Jody bought the old Safeway building on S.W. 29th and Walker until it burned and they rebuilt there and are there to this day. Buck Owens would do the Televised Show for The Mathis Brothers and they would be recorded at WKY (was there a couple of times). Conway Twitty was said to have worked for Jude and Jody...NOT...Duke Evans was the main money guy during this time period.....Don't you remember Big Red's Five by Five, Five bucks down and a weekly five.....$300.00 for a whole houseful of furniture.....Don was the Freight Train guy....now here Jude saying" Now remember we Love Folks" so ya'll come on down to Mathis brothers Furniture.....

Don't be arguing with Gen64 about this. He'll clean your clock. Not only did
he discover dirt, he's older than it, too.

Winston tastes good AS a cigarette should. Do you remember that? Why
was LIKE changed to AS?

How about LSMFT!

How do you think I got all of this camping equipment? We used to joke,
"how do you think I got this iron lung?" What cigarette commercial was
that?

Lastly, "Show us your Lark pack!"

Jude and Jody were employed by Mathis, as was Buck. I rememeber my mom telling me about that not long ago, plus I remember most of it. In fact, had it not been for Bud and Don, there is a strong chance Buck would not have been as big as he was. I don't remember a "falling out (as you put it)" between Bud and Don and Jude and Jody.

One thing to keep in mind is the fact my family has been friends with the Mathis' for decades. (the elders. We have not met the boys) In fact, the last time I saw Bud was at my Dad's funeral. Plus, I knew Buck since 1962. One of Jude's relatives was also my next door neighbor. So, I have long ties with the family and their history.

re: iron lung, probably Camel. They had a mail order catalog and the purchases were made with empty wrappers. Had an uncle who smoked Camels and he and my aunt used to order all kinds of stuff. One of the worst whuppings I ever got was for messing with his coo coo clock that he'd ordered from that catalog.

re: Winston...It was probably the RJR CEO's 7th grade English teacher who was anal about the proper use of grammar

I thought Winston's slogan was: Winston tastes good like a cigarette had oughta'

Cigars, Cigarettes Tiparillos?

Steak Sandwich Supreme..........

Steak Sandwich Supreme..........

I have watched that video on YouTube, but I sure can't find it now.

Yeah, I know.......last saw it maybe a year ago...local TV, Del Raunchy runs it every so once in awhile so old farts can remember to not go back (too many gastric repercussions the next day)

[QUOTE=papaOU;311636]

Joey Heatherton I think.

Hai Karate, be careful how you use it.

I loved how the commercials had a karate lesson, mostly martial arts shouting. The only one I can remember is the Christmas commercial:
(Guy shouting with bad Japanese accent) Sugaaaar Plum! Chlistmaaaas Tlee!

Oh please! The greatest steak sandwiches ever! We had one, (ONE!?) here in DFW area but it closed. Del Rancho is a destination every time we come up to OKC!

Only if you want to over pay for basically the same thing you can get at Sonic or Braums for a lot less money.

Sonic and Braums? You're nuts!!!!

Only one to come close is the Onion Barrel on 44th and High!

Please, there's no comparison! We have Braums & Sonic down here in TX, but they are MILES away from the awesomeness that is the Steak Sandwich Supreme (tm). When the one in Allen TX was open, everyone I took there became an instant convert/fanatic over these sandwiches.

It's all good to talk about chicken fried steak sammy"s when they are availably but, over here in N.C. ain't got none. And their bar-b-q sucks. Would almost flip for a Del Rancho sammy. They talk..talk..talk about Carolina bar-b-q but, doesn't compare to OK "real stuff". I even put Sooner bar-b-q against N.C. stuff.
