Produced for Falstaff by Playhouse Pictures {mostly animated by Bill Littlejohn and directed by Bill Melendez} from 1957 through 1960 (at least). Eddie Mayehoff is the "Old Pro".
Emery Hawkins, another animator who worked on these, had previously worked with Melendez at Warner Brothers, animating for directors Art Davis and Bob McKimson.
The third commercial reminds me of how Charlie Brown, adapted for television and movies by Bill Melendez and co-animated by Bill Littlejohn, would not leave the field on account of rain.
Great old black 🖤 and white 🤍 commercials thank you for this video 📸😊

1:41 I got caught in the rain today. I was soaked and changed and took a hot shower. But like the man said, I didn't let it dampen my spirit!
