I lived in Waukegon winter of 1979, U.S. Navy Great Lakes. They ran that commercial then and hey still run it now. I'm 588 miles from there now.

What's worse, even though I'm in Idaho, I remember seeing their ads on cable back in the early 80s- that had just that phone number with no area code. I had no idea where they were for some time. I watched them reprise the ad with the 800 prefix, and now empire-today. I guess they couldn't grandfather clause the domain! Cool

From Wiki:
Empire Today's advertising jingle, which has been broadcast since 1977, is a widely recognized theme. The original Chicago-centered version was only the seven-digit number:

"588-2300, Em-pire!"

I saw a faded, painted sign on a building that made me think of this thread.

"Once you know, you go to Clark".
EDIT:
and don't forget."They aren't good for lighters.
They aren't good for lamps.
They're only good for cold, hard cash.
That's Clark Cash-value Stamps."

No comment on Sinclair, Rick? Didn't that used to be your preferred brand? Cool

Plenty of Sinclair stations still around in Wyoming and the western US... and a couple of Sinclair refineries.

This one was somehow lodged in my 5 year old brain and will remain stuck forever. Irony that WA has legalized smoking now.
