While Rubbing Out The Bugs And Mice...

How 'bout a cup or glass of Ovaltine?  Here's a commercial from 1951 for Ovaltine.





Bedecked in a flight suit reminiscent of Captain Midnight, announcer Vern Smith, who hosted this half-hour series (this was before Richard Webb assumed the role of the Captain in 1954), was featured in the opening, closing, and commercials wrapped around old episodes of theatrical series edited to 26 minutes.
