Gotta love how the guy hawking the Easy Combo machine has a cigarette predominantly displayed in his hand. It's like the advertisers back in the day felt people wouldn't trust their ads unless somebody was smoking something. About the only guy who could get away with that today is John Daly hawking golf clubs.

Roger, Auther Godfrey was quite a spokesman in the 1950s & 1960s.

Back in those days getting the stank of Arthur Godfrey as an endorsement of your product is like having Oprah Winfrey’s endorsement.

People saw him and the cigarette and they knew him from his TV show and whatever he said was good enough for them.
