Features" on Saturday nights on Channel 13 from the
early 1960s until 1972.

Sivad was
actually local actor and Malco advertising director Watson

Rudy's farm country sausage
is so easy to tell
By the new plastic wrapper
with the dinner bell
You slice right through the
package
To get to the locked in
flavor
You get more patties to the
pound
That's why it's a money
saver
Rudy's farm country sausage
It's worth every cent
It's inspected and passed by
the US Government |
