For Real Country Sausage, the best you ever tried

[okz]

Any other local food ads that you remember as a kid?

Granpa Jones and Clifty Farms ham.

"I'm Elm Hill Bill, I'm big and strong,
I pound my wiener all day long..."

Or, something like that.

This looks like a sausage fest....I'm outta here!

It's dog food, but I remember that Chuckwagon dog food ad where the chuckwagon comes blazing out of a cabinet and the chases him across the room. I always wished the dog would have caught him just once. Would have made a great SNL parody.

Oops, not local. Sorry.

"Pruetts food town is the best store around..the best low prices that can be found".

Still doing it after these years.... Reeeeeeeeeeeeeegardless.

Nobody, noooooobody, nobooooody, nobody, noBODY, NObody.... beats a Downtown Dodge deal.

Krystal for a Quarter (and neither of the two Crystal's I went to Jr. High with cared a bit for that one.)

I think they're gone now, not been by there in a while... "Where you buy the Totten Pickin' furniture, and not the building."

(Getting a little off-topic...)

"Adcox-Kirby Chevrolet, out in Tradersville...

John Totten's "be sure and go to church this Sunday!" This is from Knoxville-"Nobody can beat Cas Walker's meat!" and "Cas Walker has the biggest nuts in town!" We used to coach our 3 yr brother on repeating his commercials..

I grew up in knoxville and remember these

OMG! Did that actually AIR? Gees! I'd be terrified to shop there. How many women were accosted at that grocery store to warrant such an ad?

*And if you thieves come to Beauty and the Beast, my (almost) 80 year old mother will beat the heck out of you and who in the world would believe you didn't 'jump her' first?

Oh, and you guys forgot the "Diamond King". (I forgot his name!) The old joke was that if you put him together with the furniture guys, you would have "A diamond king who goes to church just a LITTLE bit."

That would be J. M. Sanders, "official watch inspector for the Southern Railroad"...glad to take your "MasterCharge" [as it used to be known] or your "Bank American card".

"Come on down here, people, I gotta sell this stuff...I love ya like a brother..."
Lived in a little apartment above his store and eventually succumbed to his Demons and did himself in.

"Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer weiner
That is what I'd truely like to be
'Cuz if Iwere an Oscar Mayer weiner
Everyone would be in love with me!"

Classic.

Oh, and a local dairy, Grant-Patten, a company that delivered milk to our house when I was a boy. Mr. Penney, the ruddy-cheeked driver, used to bring us children bubble gum.

The motto on Mr. Penney's truck:

"You can whip our cream, but you can't beat our milk."
