Laxatives.

Big and tall tutus.

Ok…J Edgar Hoover…so, i will say he is selling…insurance?

oh, i am an idiot…i probably shouldn’t have said who it was…sorry if i ruined this…Tory

Great Tory – I thought it was Curly, doing an “Allow me to get serious for a moment” -type ad.

Because there’s nothing funny about laxatives….

The “J. Edgar” line of Hoover vacuum cleaners.

Bug exterminators?

One word? Must be laxatives.

Director Hoover was 50 pounds overweight…before he discovered the power of Blasto, the Laxative That Will Have You Going Like Gangbusters!

Slimming Undergarments.

Listening Devices.

Estrogen Supplements.

Or a show promo for:

“On the next, very special, Sally Jessie Raphael.”

Director Hoover says, “Listen to DRAGnet on WCCO.”

I think it was for your in-home safe.

Doan’s Pills.

Red dresses and rouge….and G-Man laxatives “A Treasury round in every suppository”

The whole J. Edgar Drag Queen thing has pretty much been discredited.

J. Edgar Hoover says, “Support your local peace officers. Wear a G-string.”

Lars, now I’m thinking I should switch my handle to J. Edgar Electrolux.

I just learned that it is not a good idea to type “J Edgar Hoover” into Google. (And despite my warning, I expect you will do exactly that.)

War Bonds

Instead of bow-ties, I will hazard that the likeness is being used to promote or sell high-capacity drum magazines.

Window blinds.

I want to be a “G” man

Seeing as this is a laxatives ad, all that needs to be settled is whether this is the “before” or “after” picture. Maybe it’s just the shadows, but I think I see the hints of a wry grin on his face, so I’m guess it’s “after”.

CORRECTION: I’m guessing

or

I’ma guess

An ad for a movie “Like ‘G’ Men” with Cagney.

Here is the answer
J Edgar Hoover Tonic
“Feel Strong Fast”
G-Men-O-Mine

One word?

Ties. With the right tie on, no one notices that your lower half is clad in a pink tutu.

BrightO, the Tommy Gun polish?

Quality vinyl siding

“Some heads just need a hat; mine sure does. And I’m planning on buying one at my nearest Big Rack O’ Hats location. You should too.”

J. Edgar Hoover is watching you poop, to adapt an old www meme.

Metaphizzle :Seeing as this is a laxatives ad, all that needs to be settled is whether this is the “before” or “after” picture. Maybe it’s just the shadows, but I think I see the hints of a wry grin on his face, so I’m guess it’s “after”.

I think it’s “during”.

J. Edgar Hoover wants you to listen to “This Is Your FBI” on ABC radio.

Man, it’s coming to something when my first thought is, “how youthful J. Edgar Hoover looks!”

Old age makes me want to weep into my Geritol.

Coleman Francis is J Edgar Hoover in “G-men in G-strings” Co-starring Johnny Wadd as Mr. Dangle. A Quinn Martin production.

Some sort of Pressed Ham.

Nigerian pressed ham?

_@_v – flowers by irene

Well, Ma … since Melvin Purvis were a-shillin’ for Dodge, I’ll be a-guessin’ that J. Edgar done it, too.

paul :Quality vinyl siding

I think it’s for locks, but I like vinyl siding better.

Yeah, Lok-M-Tite locks. J. Edgar says: “Just recently the maintenance people installed Lok-M-Tites on all the doors in my building. I’ve now been trapped in my office for four days, and all the Baby Ruths and bottles of Johnny Walker Red I had in my desk are long gone. Some help getting out would be appreciated. Thanks.”

Or maybe it’s for Dapper Dan’s Hair Pomade. Though that is four words. Maybe just Pomade. The irondy being, that in the 1950s pomade would be used extensively by the greaser crowd, not something Hoover would approve of.

One word? Mascara.

Ladies’ Lawn-juh-ray.

With 46 previous comments, I knew my answer would already be taken, but what the hell…XXXL ladies’ lingerie.

In the movie “Saboteur,” Robert Cummings’ character Barry Kane is described on the radio at one point as having the distinguishing feature of “NOT wearing a hat”- to avoid being picked up by the G-Men, wear a Fedora!
