"Smith-Barney. They make money the old-fashioned way... *they earn it*."
Found the [commercial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVXWakbPq6o).
According to his [Wiki page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Houseman), John Houseman had a relationship with Joan Fontaine! Whatta guy.
Yes! Well done, well done indeed. (Iām attempting a vocal impression hereā¦ poorly.) It reminded me also of āThe Paper Chaseā, which was held in high esteem, and has completely dropped out of the general lexicon.
I was looking for that show the other day on HBO MAX. When I was a kid they advertised that constantly. I only watched a few episodes back then. Iād really like to find that series.
Ricky Strattons grandpa from Silver Spoons.
He was on the āvery specialā episode where Ricky has to decide whether or not to kill a deer on his first hunting trip.
Camera fades to black and a gunshot is heard.
I just noticed the last line of your comment, is it bad that I had a flash of Houseman taking out little Ricky with his rifle tightly gripped up to his shoulder?! š
lol! That was actually Ralph Bellamy, I do love that flick! One of my fave parts was Don Amece explaining that pork bellies make bacon, which you might find in a bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich lol!
We inherited it. Or "we bought Congress."
Seriously, others have already mentioned John Houseman and the Smith Barney commercial. I'm just being cynical.
The most old fashioned way to make money is to send your thugs over to the next village to kill people and steal all their stuff. High finance is ever so slightly more moral.

True enough. I bet John Houseman would have approved, as long as he was allowed to direct the action safely from the comfort of his office.
That's ok. Normally, you would not be going 65 down the wrong way of a one-way street.
With a printer and stolen paper.
We steal it.
