[AT] OT: Barbershop ads

[Lew Best]

I remember the product & the joke; getting old I guess!  :)  I believe
it was spelled Hadacol tho; don't recall if it was a cold remedy or
what.

I just have had a flash back of that era. Wasn't there some kind of joke
about the company that went something like this? 

Question:

How in the world did a company get a name like Hadacal?

Answer:

Well, they hada call it something.

Robert,

This is not the specific ad your' asking about but the one that pops
into my
mind is the one for "Hadacal" - it was touted to "cure all that ails
you."
I remember this ad, if not from the late 40's then from the early 50's.
I
remember my dad scoffing at it saying it was just another name for
alcohol
(not the rubbing kind) ...I don't know if there was any truth to that or
not
but it's what I remember.

Anyone remember the ads in Barbershops in the 50's advertising hair
tonic.
What was the ones called that had dogs (cartoon)  sitting around a pool
hall
playing cards and smoking cigars, etc.? I want to find some of those old
ads, but
can't remember the titles.

Thanks,
