Toy Gallery (Commercial #1, 1975?)

Here's a commercial for the Toy Gallery, a local business at 1825 North Lincoln that advertised on WSNS Channel 44's Popeye with Steve Hart.

In this ad [which comes after a brief CG slate marked "VTR: 586 - Cut: 1 - Toy Gallery (CM :30) - M.T./D.M." - the M.T. standing for director Mike Torchia; not sure what the D.M. is], we see shots of such products as Rack Ten, Cadaco's Happy Birthday Game Party Pak, Monopoly, Tool Belt, Parcheesi, Juggling, a stuffed Little Lulu doll, jigsaw puzzles for various superheroes (Superman, Batman and The Lone Ranger), Dinky Toys' scale model ambulance, and others.

Music is by Pink Floyd, from their legendary album The Dark Side of the Moon - anyone know the exact name of the album cut though?

Voiceover by Mal Wyman (?).

"Let the little kid inside you run wild."

This aired on local Chicago TV circa 1975.
