Four Kern’s bread TV commercials. Number 4 name-drops Etowah and features CB radios. Number 2 includes gratuitous use of “beaver.”
History of the commercials here. “Turns out the TV commercial was performed by A.J. Trucker and was a take-off on Old Home Filler-Up An’ Keep On A-Truckin’ Cafe by C.W. McCall of Convoy fame. I did not know that. Also it turns out that C.W. McCall existed because of an ad campaign for a different bread company.”
Kern’s was a local bread maker in east Tennessee. Food City recently revived the brand. I’m still trying to get my hands on one of those Kern’s Bread t-shirts with Mavis.
Thanks to a commenter.

‘Ol A.J. shure seems a might “creepier” than he did when I was a kid. Am I getting too old?
It was the Seventies. This is the Aughties. Things from back then look different now.
I gotta say there was a lot if innuendo I didn’t catch as a kid. Slick as a beaver. I’d a stayed all night. The “towjob.”
