Nope, i pulled these from old vhs tapes I had lying around. I thought one had a Caldor commercial on it, but I couldn't find it.
I don't think Wards or Service Merchandise advertised enough to make it on any of my tapes

That Jamesway GOB commercial was a little OVERDRAMATIC if you ask me lol:insane:


Well I guess thats what it took back then to get peoples attention that your business is going out forever.

sigh:(

That commercial looks familar I believe I saw that one when I was very young

Jamesway must've been very cool eh?:cool:


A little advice for finding Caldor and Ames and other stores commercials

search for tapes that were taped  around the time of a major holiday such as Thanksgiving,Halloween,Christmas,or any other major holiday

because holidays are the biggest days where retail and department stores invest in sales or clearances to get customers to buy.

and usually all retailers advertise around the holidays to get you to shop

BTW I would LOVE to see an Ames commercial again

ALSO another Bradlees with Mrs.B lol:insane: , a Caldor commercial and a Service Merchandise commercial

thanks!:)
