Comments left:	Hah! Found one! A Henry's TV commercial, featuring Captain Henry (wearing a space-travel outfit). This was for a kid's coloring contest. A kid would color a drawing of the captain, turn it in as a contest entry, and wait to see if they won a prize. Over 8,800 prizes were up for grabs, ranging from a crayon set to a Disneyland vacation for four. The mid-level prizes were record albums, transistor radios and B&W portable TVs. This aired in Chicago on "Kiddie A Go Go" over WCIU-TV (9/12/69), a live broadcast. Hosted by Elaine Mulqueen (as "Pandora") and produced by her husband, Jack. "Kiddie A Go-Go" began in 1966 and was cancelled at the end of 1969. Chicago pop bands New Colony Six and Buckinghams made (lip-synced) appearances during the first season. The show was formatted like "American Bandstand," with a pre-teen group of dancers. Just found out that a Henry's was near my home town, Kenosha, WI, on 52nd St. It closed in 1975.
