Great stuff Sparky! Thanks for posting.
$1.29... 
I over paid for my red tip...
But it was worth it.

Interesting. What was that worth back then? Here's what I got. Not sure which is the best indicator of in-store price.
Current data is only available till 2009. In 2009, $1.29 from 1950 is worth:
$11.50 using the Consumer Price Index
$9.67 using the GDP deflator
$18.70 using the unskilled wage
$21.80 using the Production Worker Compensation
$30.90 using the nominal GDP per capita
$62.60 using the relative share of GDP

Prices have certainly come far but that is to be expected given inflation as well as supply and demand for discontinued products.
If Pee Wee Reese says it's good, I'm buying!
Great stuff!
Especially the range of techniques, from Roy Campanella's short, careful strokes to Pee Wee's no-look swoop of death down his jawline! I wonder if there was even a blade in there?
A little over a year ago I would not have cared less about these commercials. But, now, I find them great. They are a great find on the 'Tube. 
I sent the link to my father who loved the Brooklyn Dodgers. He used to go on field trips to see them play when he was in school. My grandfather had a friend who worked in the locker room and gave my dad one of the players jerseys and another player's pants [I forgot what the names of the players were]. My Dad used to call me Pee Wee all the time when I was a kid because Pee Wee Reese was his favorite ball player and it helped calling me a different name to eliminate confusion in the house because he is Paul Sr and I am Paul Jr.
