From the archive
An episode of a U.S. game show. Unfortunately, most episodes of this series no longer exist. Note: this episode features advertising for a cigarette brand (which were also given away as a consolation prize). A rather out of place sponsor on a show like this. Other ads are for toothpaste and hair spray. As for the date: Jack Bailey mention that it is 'Safe Driving Day' (which occurred on 1 December 1955). A photo of the winning contestant appears in the 2 December 1955 edition of Citizen-News, with the comment that she was today's winner. So I'm not completely sure on the date. I ripped this from a DVD.
