UPDATE: In a comment below Claudia mentioned that Jarvis Jeep had a very catchy jingle: Beep Beep Jarvis Jeep. Apparently, that jingle was played a lot in Oregon as a variety of folks from Oregon have mentioned it on the internet. I tried to find a commercial with jingle, but no luck. Also, at one time Jarvis Jeep was the largest jeep dealer in the nation. If I’d realized Robert Jarvis was still alive I’d have tried to contact him. Unfortunately, he passed away this past April. 

Apparently, he was quite the character and boxer. According to the article in this magazine, during a boxing tournament in 1946 Rocky Marciano broke his hand on Bob’s head. After which, they became life long friends. (go here to learn more and then search for ‘Jarvis’.)

Here’s an image with the jingle on it that was posted on pinterest:

Craig scanned this from the January 1959 issue of Jeep News. It features the Jarvis Jeep dealership from Portland, Oregon.

National Diary Products Ad on eBay

This is an unusual ad for National Dairy Products that tells the story of a jeep that was lashed to a submarine deck (engine and Motor inside the sub) and carried all over. Eventually, it was traded for to a crew on a destroyer for ice cream. True story? The answer is it is possible (see update on Monday).

This ad appeared in the June 26, 1944 issue of Life Magazine on page 52.

Here’s an interesting sign. Bidding is already at $360. It is over 3′ wide.

“I believe this sign is from the 60’s, but I’m not totally sure. It’s plexiglass, and I’m pretty sure it’s intended to be back-lit. It measures 13″x39″. The last couple pictures show it in front of a window, back-lit. Condition as shown. Free shipping in the US only.”

I don’t know just how rare these brochures are, but this is currently priced at $93 and there’s already a bid! The vehicles were only built between 1952 and 1954, so I’m not sure there was a 1955 brochure?

Print code: –
Size: 27 x21 cm (10½x8½)
Condition: good (4 out of 5, if 5 is mint new). Please notice, light miscolor on front is due to photo.

Combine with 1 or more of my other auctions, and it gets quite inexpensive. Shipment will get to you within 1 week or less. If you prefer, we can also arrange special shipping.”
