The first television advertisement was broadcast in the United States on the first of July 1941. Amazing eh? Sixty seven years ago during the Second World War. (The US didn’t enter the war until the US Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii was bombed by the Japanese on December 7, 1941) The first television advertisement was for the Bulova Watch Company who paid the grand sum of $9 for a 20-second spot aired before a baseball game between the Dodgers and the Phillies. The ad was a simple display of a Bulova watch over a map of the U.S. with a voiceover of the company's slogan - "America runs on Bulova time!"

Terrible lip-sync on this 1965 spot but cute all the same.

Classic TV Ads - Hertz Rent-A-Car
Classic Sixties television advertising commercial. Starring a '62 Chevrolet if I'm not mistaken. With a 283 V8. Nice car. Game boat's not bad either.

Classic TV Ads - More Doctors Smoke Camel
Amazing huh? An endorsement of smoking by the Medical profession. Should probably read "More Doctors die of smoking than any other cause".
