Description: Finally found one!

Here's a commercial for Harris Bank with Gary Coleman - one year before landing the role of Arnold on Diff'rent Strokes - starting out reading a book with the stuffed doll version of Hubert the lion (one of many in his possession) by his side, advising that this is the time of the year they are offered, to those depositing $200 or more up to October 7th.

NOTE: From the "In Case You Were Wondering" files - the book Gary is reading at the beginning is "Animals! Animals! (How They...Eat, Sleep, Dress, Bathe, Fight, Play)" by Peter Lippman, published by Golden Books in 1976; one place where the book can be found is here.

This aired on local Chicago TV on Thursday, September 29th 1977 during the 10pm to 10:30pm timeframe.
