Hey Dana and RParis(or other PDXers).....is Tom Peterson still alive and kicking?? Haven't seen any ads by him the last few times I've been down there.
For you non-Portlanders this guy has been around for YEARS - he's always giving stuff away with furniture purchases - one of his slogans used to be "Free is a VERY good price".
One item he gave away was an alarm clock with his pic on it:
He used to do a commercial promoting that in the middle of the night(when they used to play Portland Wrestling)where he would rap his knuckles on the camera and say "Wake up - Wake up to a happy day" or something like that - it was a little disorienting if you were 1/2 asleep in front of the TV.
