CTA Monthly Pass - "Don't Pass It Up" (Commercial, 1980)

Here's a commercial for the CTA Monthly Pass, with a cowboy on the bus "headin' 'em off at the pass" and Chicago Bears players on the "L" who "drop back and throw a pass"; followed by a clerk inside one of the over 100 sales locations where CTA monthly passes are sold for just $30. Featuring local actress Paula Elser as the CTA Booth operator, Stan Adams as the guy in the green hardhat, Karl Schueneman as the tall construction worker with moustache, Pat Egan as the short construction worker, Dionisio as the man on the left in the blue shirt, Chicago Bears quarterback Vince Evans and offensive lineman Dan Jiggetts, Antoinette "Toni" Fleming as lady on the bus with kid, and Jim Parks as the cowboy. (C) Chicago Transit Authority 1980. This aired on local Chicago TV on Tuesday, October 28th 1980. About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television: The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical purposes. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, and to view more of the 4,600+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at: http://www.fuzzymemories.tv/index.php?contentload=donate
