Sponsor Tags? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Does anyone have any original sponsor tags of this show? I know it was originally sponsored by General Foods but I have not seen any tags, just one commerical. If so, can someone post of those tags on youtube?, I would like to see it.

....General Foods was the series' alternate sponsor during the first two seasons (1965-'67). Philip Morris {Marlboro, Parliament, et. al.} was their primary sponsor in {at least} the first four seasons. When the show moved from Friday to Saturday nights in the fall of '67, General Foods moved "GOMER PYLE, U.S.M.C." into the 8:30pm(et) time period that "HOGAN'S HEROES" had occupied.

I've been watching episodes for years and years on World Harvest, and have yet to ever see original product placement in the closing credits. Just the blank space where they were once placed.

Many years ago, I saw a Hogan rerun that included a box of Drive, a short-lived Lever Brothers detergent product on the closing of one ep.

....that was probably from a 1970 episode, when Lever introduced "Drive". They were one of the show's "rotating" sponsors at the time....
