From 1954, note particularly the opening advertisement detailing Crosley appliances.

I'm old enough to remember that program. We only had one channel, but "Your Hit Parade" was watched by our family every week. | ||

I remember “Your Hit Parade” too Eugene. But I recall the shows sponsor being Lucky Strike cigarettes. I also remember Giselle McKenzie on that show too. Interesting how they had the commercial at the beginning of the program and no other commercials in between, something that I don’t recall from very many early TV programs.
Back in the 50’s we used to watch just about anything that was on the air. In the San Francisco Bay Area we only had 3 stations that came in channel 4 KRON for NBC, 5 KPIX for CBS and 7 KGO for ABC, which always had the worst reception. The very first TV program that I ever remember watching was “The Colgate Comedy Hour” when I was about 2 1/2. My parents always watched this show because my Mom worked as a secretary at Colgate Palmolive in Emeryville, Calif. I believe that Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis got their start on TV on this show.

Whenever I hear "Ricochet Romance" I think of the episode of "I Love Lucy" where Teensy & Weensy performed it. CLICK HERE TO GO TO CircleW's LINK | ||

 Although Lucky Strike was an 'alternate sponsor' for this episode of Your Hit Parade, Lucky Strike (American Tobacco) was the exclusive sponsor for this show as heard on radio from 1935 to 1953, and the main sponsor as seen on television from 1950 to 1959. The 'real' alternate sponsors were Avco Manufacturing's Crosley division (1951–54), Richard Hudnut hair care products (1954–57), and The Toni Company (1957–58). During the 1957-58 season, sponsor American Tobacco pitched Hit Parade filter cigarettes instead of Lucky Strikes. What a time it was. | ||

Has anyone here bought the advertising plates sold on eBay years ago that were dealer gifts promoting Crosley dishwashers? | ||

Actually, The big Frigidaire show was for the Sheer Look in 1957. I think it is here somewhere. | ||
