The Daz with the Blue Whitener


This is a Daz commercial from the regions filmed by Television Wales and West (TWW) in a mid Devon town. The television company held the franchise for South Wales and West of England region and broadcast from 1958 to 1968. This was part of half-hour programme of adverts that they broadcast weekly. Brand X or Daz? Mrs Cross of course chooses Daz for producing whiter than white whites and as if to make a point, the church bell chimes in the background!
