Funny that I was wrong on the Steve Allen and Edie Adams thing and the first picture I see on the web site Decker provided is a picture of them together.

That may have been the original intent, but when I was in high school, both the guys and the gals were using it for a while. By the time I graduated, we were using nothing (on our hair), and both the guys and the gals were wearing their hair pretty long.

Nope, Dekker got it. It was Ernie Kovaks. She also did Dutch Masters cigars (I think)...

Doing a little guess work, and some searching, I came up with this http://www.alliedproducts.com/ccc3/company.asp
A history of Consolidated Cigar . Edie Adams did commercials for Muriel. Seeing this I now remember her saying " Why don't you pick me up and smoke me sometime?"
Ernie Kovacs is listed as a promoter of Duch Masters, and since Edie Adams was a regular on his show, she probably did Ads for them as well.
I have no idea where I came up with White Owl,/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif It isn't even a Consolidated brand/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

OK, trivia time. On Oct 4, 1957, Russia launched Sputnik. A basketball sized 183 pound satelite. On Nov 3, 1957, sputnik II was launched with a passenger.

Who was the passenger?

Keep the greasy side down.

It was a dog right?
I was 7, but I can still recall that at night sputnik was visible. We had gone to visit some friends, and the whole neighborhood was standing in their yards looking up into the sky. I didn't know what it was all about, but I could tell the adults seemed concerned. It wasn't long after that people started building fallout shelters in their backyard. Anybody remember those?

My dad built his house with a fallout shelter. We had a pantry that was about 4 x 8 feet and the entire door was a trapdoor. It was on a counterbalanced weight, so an adult could open it easily. The ceiling was very thick reinforced concrete and I beams. It had pipes through the wall for air and water. He had plans for air and water filtration, but never finished them off. It was a very secure place to hide in tornado season/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif.

I also remember the huge furnace in the basement. Did any of you have furnaces that were so big and loud that they scared you as a kid?
