| Description: | TV commercial for Craftsman Insurance, 1950s. MS broad-shoulder white man wearing business suit sitting in easy chair in living room, kissing young daughter good night after apparently reading her a bedtime story; girl in pajamas kisses daddy, exits; man turns to camera, says, "Kids are wonderful, aren't they? And it's wonderful how they depend upon us parents to take care of everything they need. That's the way it should be." CU spokesman, things turn horribly grim: "But what happens if disabling accident or sickness strikes. Will you & your loved ones have peace of mind & financial security? You will, and they will, if you join the Craftsman Family Plan." Graphics outlining insurance plan. MS spokesman clenching jaw, furrowing brow, pointing finger at cam: "And see here, you can afford it!" CU man holding piggy bank, shaking it. | |
