The famous Life cereal catchphrase was, "He likes it! Hey, Mikey!"
"I can't believe I ate the whole thing!" was a famous slogan to push Alka-Seltzer, but I notice in this spot, Ralph actually says "that whole thing" instead of "the whole thing," which is the way everyone remembered it .

I sure do remember! Even into the '80s, long after the radio jingles stopped playing, the slogan 'The maestro of delicatessen land' was still on the Bob Ostrow trucks that delivered to 7-Elevens and other convenience stores. IIRC, their logo was a sausage waving a baton.

Actually, we were both right, R88.
According to oneownercollectorcar.com (link below), Ellis Brooks was a Hudson dealer from 1937 until switching to Chevrolet in 1955. Brooks was located at Bush on 1395 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco in the heart of the long established dealer row in a seven story 195,000 square foot facility. [bold]During the 1960s, the dealership address was 1595 Van Ness[/bold] (California & Van Ness) with the service center down the street at 799 Van Ness. After Ellis Brooks died in 1963 his widow Marie Brooks carried on the business in spite of the decline of dealer row during the 1970s. In the 1980s buildings were torn down and re-developed and domestic dealers moved out.
So…the dealership was located at both California & Van Ness [italic]and[/italic] Bush & Van Ness at different times. The ads I remember would have been in the late '50s-early '60s.
