Presenting the ghosts of Thanksgiving past (1978)

 Ah, Butterball turkey was big on Thanksgiving. Today, it's lost in the shuffle with other brands moving ahead of it in terms of sales.

Back in 1978, the folks who made Butterball in those days decided on an ad campaign featuring "The Spirits of the First Thanksgiving Turkey", brought to life by actors James Harder and Mary Jo Catlett. The Puritan language comes from the King James Bible with the thee's & thou's.
