Consumer advocate and former film and TV actress Betty Furness displaying
a Westinghouse refrigerator during a commercial break in 1956
In 1948 Betty Furness was performing in the CBS television series Studio One which
was broadcast live. She was asked to fill in for a actor to promote Westinghouse products during commercial breaks and impressed the company so much with
her ease and professional delivery that she was offered a contract to promote
their products and subsequently became closely associated with them.

Bonjour, sur la 2éme photo elle ressemble à Marilyn Monroe !
Did an advertising agency come up with the slogan “You can be sure if it’s Westinghouse’? if so, does anyone know which agency?
