Back in the eighties we ran a bunch of tapes of Jack Benny shows from the thirties and heard a barrage of Jello ads and my kids started asking for Jello.  I'd better be sure the Feenamint ads are cut from the Gershwin shows before I play them for my wife.

If you ran the Jack Benny programs from the mid-40sto early 50s you 
would the Lucky Strike cigarette ads --so bethankful your kids only 
asked for Jello!

The first recording which had a historical view of radio ads was 
produced in 1966 by the International Radio and Television Society as a 
Columbia Special Products LP "... and now a word from our sponser."  A 
lot of OTR LP and cassette companies pirated that LP, and I bet that is 
whad dl has.  It starts with "have you tried Wheaties" then has the Bob 
Brown Perfect Circloe Piston Rings opening from the Gennett by Charlie 
Davis.
