Remember the Red Rose Tea commercial with the wild jazz band chimps? These guys were The Marquis Chimps, Charlie, Enoch, and Candy. In 1960, they were in three TV commercials. One showed them as cowboys, another playing golf, and the most famous was the Red Rose Tea commercial.
In 1961-62, these chimps starred in the comedy called the Hathaways. They also made guest appearances on numerous shows such as The Kraft Music Hall and The Jack Benny Hour.
I bet you loved this commercial as much as I did!

I noticed the spam post. yeah I lived on the streets for while and that was the food of choice. The only think I liked about spam was the little key to open the tin
Just had to tell you what a help this post was to me; a day or two after you posted this, I was working a crossword puzzle (new York Times or LA Times Sunday) and one of the clues was for Red Rose Tea! I would never have gotten it had it not been for you. Thanks!
I remember all of them...You have a good blog and loads of memories.

I remember a chimp in the Hathaway's... Candy was the girl chimp. me and my brothers used to act like the chimps... my one brother would pull his ears out and we called him 'Candy'.
