When I was a young man in the sixties, there was a company in Seattle known as Washington Builders, Inc.
They ran ads on television and radio and I remember them like I remember the SeaFair races on Lake Washington.
The artist for the print and screen media ads was a famous weather cartoonist on Channel 5, or KING TV, (now King5) in the fifties and sixties, whose name was Bob Hale.
It is one of those jingles I will remember all my life. When I was a young carpenter, we often sang the jingle while framing houses.
Their jingle went like this:
With the rap of the hammer - Or just a little bit more,
Washington Builders will make that old place look like it never did before.
Washington Builders - call SUnset 3 - 2xx4
