Let's Join Joanie (1950) Failed TV Pilot
Failed TV pilot from 1950 called "Let's Join Joanie". Two years before she starred in the semi-popular 50's sitcom "I Married Joan", Joan Davis did this unsuccessful pilot. I don't know much about this pilot, Which curiously runs 33 minutes long despite the fact that it features no commercials. Don't watch it expecting comedy gold, But it does have historic value, and is kind of amusing.

Ballantine Beer - classic TV commercial
Dont forget to visit our RETRO DVD store: http://shop.retroload.biz The Ballantine Beer Company's stop-motion commercial for "Ballantine Ale - with Brewer's Gold." Some of the stop motion puppets are from a Stop motion Christmas Classic named "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer". The artwork on the label is a set of Borromean rings labelled purity, body and flavor. These are mathematically interesting because all three are interlinked but no two of them are linked. In 1933 the Ballantine company was acquired by two brothers, Carl and Otto Badenhausen. The Badenhausens' grew the brand through its most successful period of the 1940's and 1950's, primarily through clever advertising. Ballantine Beer was the first television sponsor of the New York Yankees. It was during this period that the brand was elevated to the number three beer in the U.S. It was also during this period that the company grew into one of the largest privately held corporations in the United States. Ballantine Beer enjoyed a high level of success into the early 1960's. The brewery had a long sponsorship arrangement with the New York Yankees on television and radio, spanning the 1940s to the 1960s. Team announcers, most notably the legendary Mel Allen, labeled Yankee home runs, "Ballantine Blasts." Visit our RETRO BLOG: http://retroload.blogspot.com

1940's TV: Classic NBC Promo from 1949 (Plus 1949 NBC logo)
40's TV: An NBC promo from 1949, promoting the NBC Television itself. When this aired, TV was so young that many parts of the USA still didn't get the network. This promo tells viewers which areas can get NBC programming ''Live'', and curiously, aired in a program which didn't feature any actual commercials at the. Overall an interesting example of 1940's television, in glorious black and white!.

1950 Gillette razor - classic TV commercial
Dont forget to visit our RETRO DVD store: http://shop.retroload.biz 1950 Gillette razor classic TV commercial with baseball stars Pee Wee Reese and Roy Campanella. Harold Henry "Pee Wee" Reese (July 23, 1918 - August 14, 1999) was an American professional baseball player who played for the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers from 1940 to 1958. Reese was a ten-time All Star shortstop who contributed to seven league championships for Brooklyn. Roy Campanella (November 19, 1921 -- June 26, 1993), nicknamed "Campy", was an American baseball player — primarily at the position of catcher — in the Negro Leagues and Major League Baseball. He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Widely considered to have been one of the greatest catchers in the history of the game[1], Campanella played for the Brooklyn Dodgers during the 1940s and 1950s, as one of the pioneers in breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball. His Hall of Fame career was cut short in 1958 when he was paralyzed in an automobile accident. Visit our RETRO BLOG: http://retroload.blogspot.com

This video is a series of newsreels about tornadoes from the 50s & 60s. Namely tornadoes in Waco, Flint, Cleveland, & Worcester (all 1953). The Palm Sunday outbreak (1965). Kansas City (1957), El Dorado, KS (1958) & southern Minnesota (1965). First is the Waco, Texas tornado of May 11, 1953. The huge numbers of bricks in the newsreel were due to the collapse of downtown buildings, especially a six-story furniture store. San Angelo was mentioned but scenes from that city probably weren't included. Thirteen people were killed at San Angelo, 159 were injured, and about 120 homes were damaged or destroyed. Credit: National Archives, ripped from The Tornado Project's "Tornado Video Classics I". Next are newsreels about a another tornado outbreak in 1953 on June 8th & 9th showing damage from Flint, Michigan, Cleveland, Ohio & Worcester, Massachusetts. The Flint tornado moved ENE & E from 2M N of Flushing, devastating the north part of Flint, ending 2M N of Lapeer. The tornado virtually obliterated all homes on both sides of the Coldwater Road for about a mile. It was there that the damage swath was over a mile wide, and most of the deaths occurred. There were multiple deaths in over 20 families. The Flint tornado was the last single tornado in the United States to directly cause 100 deaths. The Worcester tornado touched down in the town of Petersham, near the NE shore of the Quabbin Reservoir. The funnel rapidly intensified and moved to the SE at about 35 MPH through Barre (2 dead), Rutland (2 dead), Holden (6 dead), the north part of Worcester (59 dead), Shrewsbury (12 dead), Westborough (6 dead) and Southborough (3 dead). The funnel turned to the NE for the last few miles. Many of the houses that were nearly leveled were two or three story tenement buildings, built with dozens of interior walls which would add considerable structural strength. About 4,000 buildings were either damaged or destroyed, hundreds of cars were tossed, and thousands of trees were splintered. Newsreel Credit: National Archives, ripped from Tornado Project's "Tornado Video Classics I". Next is The Palm Sunday of April 11, 1965 which changed the course of tornado research and resulted in changes in the design of the Weather Bureau tornado preparedness program. With 19 violent tornadoes, this and the super outbreak of 1974 with 30 stand alone as the two most violent in history. The odd damage patterns in the Palm Sunday tornadoes gave Professor Fujita strong evidence for his suction spot concept. The first half of the film (behind the narration) is damage at Crystal Lake, IL, where 6 people died. Film Credit: National Archives, ripped from Tornado Project's "Tornado Video Classics I". Next is footage of the damage on the south side of Kansas City, MO from May 20, 1957. It moved from 2 SW of Williamsburg, KS to 2 NE of Knobtown. MO. In Kansas, the funnel passed 2 S of Ottawa, 5 S of Wellsville, and along the north edge of Spring Hill. It crossed into Missouri about 13 S of downtown Kansas City. In Kansas, 7 people were killed and 31 injured, with many homes leveled and numerous reports of multiple vortices. 2 deaths occurred as a farm was leveled norht of Rantoul. 5 deaths occurred at Spring Hill, 4 in one family who were attempting to flee in a car. A possible break in the path occurred south of Wellsville, Kansas but the last 50 miles of path were unbroken. In Missouri, the tornado produced 37 deaths and at least 500 injuries as it passed through and devastated Kansas City suburbs. Ripped apart were the south side of Martin City and large parts of Ruskin Heights and Hickman Hills. About 842 homes and businesses were damaged or destroyed. Film credit: National Archives, ripped from Tornado Project's "Tornado Video Classics II". Next is damage at El Dorado, KS from June 10, 1958. The tornado moved 7 WNW of El Dorado , passing through and destroying a section of newer homes in the SW part of town. About 200 homes were destroyed as a 45-block area was torn apart. A car was thrown 100 yards in the air, crashing through a roof of a house. Film credit: National Archives, ripped from Tornado Project's "Tornado Video Classics II". Next is damage at Chicago on March 4, 1961. The funnel passed about 10 blocks from Prof. Fujita's office, at the city's university. Film credit: National Archives, ripped from Tornado Project's "Tornado Video Classics II". On May 6, 1965 at least six major tornadoes, four of them killers, hit soutwest, west, & northwest of the Twin Cities, killing 14 people. The NWS reported 24 hook echos on radar. The town of Fridley was hit by three separate tornadoes and had $14 M in damage (over a third to the school system) as 1,500 homes were damaged or destroyed. Six people died in homes at Mounds View as 46 homes were destroyed. Total losses for all tornadoes were $51 M.
