Description: Here's a commercial for House of Savings Inc. (General Insurance Agency), which offers complete auto insurance to people from 16 to 80 years old at substantial savings.

The phone number is easy to follow - and spell, as long as you don't get confused by the dollar signs for the s'... $-A-V-I-N-G-$ (S-A-V-I-N-G-S)

History Note: This company, with the same phone number was previously known as Spelson Insurance Agency, Inc. However, they had changed their phone number (or perhaps it was just a second number?) by the time this ad came out.

Technical Note: The last of the slides faded to black a few seconds before this ad finished - but I don't think you'd really classify this as a "techincal difficulties moment, would it? What was the issue here? Too much Ad copy written to be read in time? It didn't seem like Len Johnson was lagging much...

Voiceover by Len Johnson.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Friday, December 21st 1979.
