One of the greatest salesmen in the Birmingham area ever
No doubt. In the late 50's he bought something like 25 years worth of all advertising on his show from Channel 6, and proceeded to never break for a recorded commercial. Instead, the whole show was interspersed - liberally - with ads for everything you could imagine viewers who tuned in at daybreak might want. Dobro Dave and the gang.
"Friends and Neighbors". '
My Dad bricked his house up above Eastwood Mall* in 1959.
*EDIT: I guess I'm dating myself, using a landmark that wasn't there in 1959, and isn't there now.
