This one's from the mid-sixties, as the food giant was moving into more specialized products.

.............We did have some neat old ads........
.....and Remember the stuff that cleaned like a white Tornado................................... AJAX
"Ajax cleans like a white tornado!" Yeah, just ask the folks down in Florida how clean a tornado leaves your home!
Ajax had some great campaigns during the Sixties and this was a long-running series. Don't you wish, you had nothing better to talk about than your floor cleaner?!?
Critics would often site these commercials as examples of what was wrong with TV advertising, complaining that they were infantile and condescending to women in particular. But they got results.

The 'Father Knows Best' ad takes me back. Somewhere in the fifties, Father Jim Anderson (Robert Young) is punishing his son, Bud Anderson (Billy Gray).

In our day, Father knew best and if you thought he didn't you knew better than to say it aloud. Ed
