_{“You can’t beat Crest for fighting cavities.”}

Today’s post lands on 1974 or thereabouts. We start off with a Crest Toothpaste commercial (starring Arthur O’Connell, John Erwin, and Kit Smythe) and follow that beauty up with spots for the Weebles West toy set, Bell Telephone’s PBX System, and Lovin’ Spoonfuls Cat Food (with Joyce Bulifant). I hope the ’74 feels are forthcoming and fulfilling.
