“There’s no better way to say ‘Thank you.'”
Time to tug on the ol’ heartstrings with our Daily 70s Spot. Here’s a Bell System Long Distance telephone commercial featuring kindly grandparents. Spot aired in 1977.
Previously on Daily 70s Spot: ‘Shell of the Future’ Gasoline (1970)
With such heartfelt commercials, why did the phone company become one of the most hated monopolies (next to Con-Edison) back in the 70s?
No idea. A general distaste for monopolies?
Maybe it was the movie “The President’s Analyst”. Watch out for TPC !!!
