DTOXX 0 #1 August 6, 2004 No its not that kind of spot. I am attempting to find a commercial that aired December 12th, 1963 on the CBS network. The commercial aired during Pettycoat Junction, episode 6312 "Honeymoon Hotel", for the Proctor & Gambles product of Pampers. The spot featured my sister-in-law as the "Pampers baby" and we would like to show a copy of same during an upcoming family event. I have emailed CBS corporate (no response), the local affiliate (KOVR in Sacramento CA) and they do archive that far back and Proctor & Gamble. P&G did reply with "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but because our advertising is handled by outside agencies, we're unable to provide videotapes of our commercials or a listing of times they will air. I'm sharing your interest with the rest of the team." Does anyone have an idea on how I should proceed? I would like very much to provide this as a "commercial" in a "Heres your life" type video presentation at her next birthday. ------- D.T.

ACMESkydiver 0 #2 August 6, 2004 I'd say get a telephone number for CBS and call. -Sorry, that's my only idea... Very cool of you to do for your sister-in-law. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DTOXX 0 #4 August 6, 2004 I have done several searches and have found sites that "archive" commercials. The problem is that most of these only go back so far. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rocketfeuille 0 #6 August 6, 2004 Proctor and Gamble is sure to have a list of the advertising agencies they have used over the years. Ask them if they can provide you with the contact information of the agency they had enlisted at the time and call them. Many advertising agencies archive all the work they've done. Good luck!

And from P&G's initial feedback, I'm sure they'd like to have a copy of that clip if you find it, so dangle that carrot in front of them....Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DTOXX 0 #8 August 6, 2004 From what I have been able to piece together the main advertising agency for P&G in this era was Compton. Compton was bought out in 1982 by Saatchi & Saatchi. I am on the phone with their Los Angeles office as I type this. update: I just spoke to the New York office and the P&G rep. (Isabel) is on vacation until Monday. Hopefully this is one step closer. ------- D.T. Holder SIMstudy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
