These are effective local market short commercials. Even shorter than 15 seconds, although they often ran 2 or more in a row.

So watch this [selection of Krass Bros. short commercials from the 70s and 80s](https://youtu.be/t5R4rNxSWFw), it won’t take long. Do you remember where they are located? Fill in the blanks “Krass Bros., 901 \_\_\_\_\_\_ St., store of the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_!”. And this is probably the first time you’ve seen these commercials too. I haven’t seen one in 40 years and I still remember.
