"If the color is redwood, the trash bag is Hefty!"
This aired on local Chicago TV on Monday, May 13th 1974 during the 3:30pm to 4:30pm timeframe.
About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:
The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels (or other cities occasionally); footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical preservation. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, and to view more of the 4,700+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at:

This is a classic. "Gingerly, Hector, gingerly!" was right on target and even became a household phrase in my home. Jonathan Winters truly found his niche in TV commercials with his dual roles and his gift for playing such a wide range of personalities, and we'll never see his likes again. Thanks for posting. Rest in peace, Jonathan.

Jonathan Winters: The strongest name in comedy. And with a big heart tough enough to overstuff!

To this day, I often refer to it as "garbahge" because of these ads.

The strangest company that I saw Jonathan Winters do ads for was Marshall Field's.
