I could not "slip over to the piano" because your blog is upstairs and the piano is not, and I could not get the four flats right a capella. Dunno, but maybe the printed jingle is a subtle clue that Schlitznicks" belong in every home, somewhere near the Steinway. Anyone still living who had a hand in that ad? Of those, anyone still undementiated? I would love to know why the printed jingle. mcewanj Your question about the jingle is a great one.

I've tried a couple times and I don't think it is. Is it possible to say “Schlitznick” without sounding like you’ve already emptied a couple six-packs?

There's not a lot on the web about him, but his artwork brings to mind scores of ads and bookcovers lying around my grandparent's house when I was a kid. For some reason the "Better Homes and Gardens" gardening book comes to mind. I did a little googling and although I didn’t identify the font yet, I believe the artwork is by Joe Kaufman.
