Empire Carpets - "What's the Name?" (Commercial, 1980)

Here's another early commercial for Empire Carpets, featuring Lynn Hauldren as the Empire Carpet Man, installing a carpet for a Mr. Kimstead who'd just gotten the idea to have carpets installed for $6.95 a yard just three days before, doesn't have to make an installment payment for 60 days, and got a free Bissell rug shampooer after buying two rooms of carpeting - but has constant trouble remembering the name and phone number. With the now-famous "588-2300" jingle at the end.

"You want carpeting? You call..." "Empire."

This aired on local Chicago TV on Tuesday, October 28th 1980.
