"When Carson Hutchison (King in the Morning) was at WOKI radio when it first went on the air in 1974, Bill Johnson brought in a new account. Snuffy's Discount Store actually had two locations--Jamestown and Ducktown. Carson and I spent a lot of nights sitting around the radio station listening to old records. One of our favorites was the Saturday Morning Radio Show featuring Lester "Roadhog" Moran and his Cadillac Cowboys (aka the Statler Brothers). Carson did a take-off voice of the ole Roadhog for the new account that started out "This here's Me fer Snuffy's" and ended with "....and I'll see ya next time." When Carson left WOKI a couple of months later, I picked up the account and continued the commercials using the same voice character until Snuffy quit advertising on the radio in 1983. There was actually a Snuffy (I don't remember his real name) who owned the store. When people started driving to Jamestown from all over to get a Big Orange Dope, Snuffy put Orange Crush soft drinks in his machine outside the store and put a homemade "Big Orange Dope" label on the button. I wrote all the copy for all the commercials, which generally told some crazy story about Me and Ole Snuff sittin' around sellin' stuff. Oh, some wonderful memories of those days at "The Only One". Mike Beverly and Cliff Hudson have some stories to tell, too." (Dave Lambert aka Da Kid)
