1950's Canadian Radio Commercials

I was at a radio swap meet the other week and a guy was selling a bunch of LPs that were sent to radio stations back in the late 50's and early 60's.
Some neat ads for Pepsi, Belvedere and Du Maurier Cigarettes, Ontario Hospital Insurance and more.
(My personal favorite is for Crown Diamond paints)



I uploaded them here:

Enjoy!

A radio swap meet? Do say. Details please! I'd like to go to one of these.

Davester, I have a lot of those discs.  RCA Victor pressed many of the vinyl discs as did Eastern Sound in Toronto.  I'd be more than happy to digitize them for you if you can't do it yourself.

They have a large annual radio swap meet every June in Guelph (even though they are based out of London.)
Lots of interesting old radio technology!
