A 1940 ad for Wheaties (back when a product endorsement from a circus performer actually carried some weight with the general public.)

I seem to recall that Gunther and Kenny the leopard did a commercial for the American Express Card (“don’t leave home without it”) in the late 1970s. (Someone told me that the director asked for so many retakes that eventually the leopard got restless and took out its frustration on Gunther.)
