Uncle Sam steels himself for the great leap. (Texaco commercial, 1978)
“Working to keep your trust.”
I’ve got two Texaco spots for you this Saturday. Firstly, a commercial featuring the still relatively new (for 1978) World Trade Center. After that, a spot I remember fairly well featuring Uncle Sam leaping over barrels of imported oil.

The Short Circus shows us how to fly. (‘The Electric Company,’ 1973)
Happy Funshine Friday, lovers of ancient entertainment! It’s time for another sweet shot of The Short Circus singing a tune on The Electric Company.
Here’s a memorable song entitled “An E on the End.” I’m fairly certain this dates from 1973 (mostly due to Denise Nickerson‘s presence in the band), though it could be as early as ’72. Sing along!

Saks Alter Ego Tee Shirts. (‘New York’ magazine, Jan. 26, 1976)
“What could be more fun over jeans?”
Saks Fifth Avenue goes low brow with “long-sleeved tee shirts.” And is that Bianca Jagger on the right? I wouldn’t bet money on it but it looks a bit like her. Daily 70s Ad #61: Saks Alter Ego Tee Shirts originally appeared in the January 26, 1976 issue of New York magazine.
