| New, Blue Cheer, 195? |
Bye dears...have a good time.
Here's Jean Sullivan, dancer and actress, as spokeswoman for Cheer.
This must have been an early 1950s ad, judging from the roller-wringer washing machine. Sullivan died in 2003, at age 79.

| Favor Polish, 1967 |
Good for the wood 'cause it's wax.
Long running jingle with "F" illiteration and disbelieving housewives.
In the second scene...the entryway...is that Samantha and Darrin Stephen's house?

| Mr. Clean, 1962) |
The man who's made dirt old-fashioned...
Here is one of the earlier Mr. Clean ads, complete with the original (and copyrighted) jingle-duet sung by Don Cherry and Betty Bryan.
Wiki says that the character, Mr. Clean, was modeled after a real US Navy sailor from Florida. The product is known as Flash in the United Kingdom.

| Lestoil, 195x |
It's so easy when you use Lestoil...
Very rare commercial from the mid-1950s, featuring a jingle that many boomers remember well.
Lestoil is STILL around, and if your local grocery doesn't have it, Amazon does.

| Duz, 195x |
From now on kittens, DUZ your mittens...
This appears to be a mid-1950s commercial, judging form the ringer-type washing machine in the animation.
Once again, there is the voiceover ("This feels scratchy") that was used in so many ads, annoying because half the time she was supposed to be a boy (no use using a real boy's voice, eh?).
A visitor to the site (thanks, Mike) tells us that Duz was a soap instead of a detergent, and soap left a residue on clothes, which made them feel softer, as they would with a fabric softener. Lo and behold, fabric softeners were introduced, and Duz disappeared by the 1980s.
