Bea Arthur for Shopper's Drug Mart

One thing that vintage ads have taught me is that advertising isn't equally distributed. Some things never came to Western Canada, or at least my part of it, which is why discovering that Bea Arthur starred in a ton of commercials was so surprising. While I shopped at Shopper's Drug Mart growing up and watched plenty of TV, I cannot recall these ads at all. I'm sure I would have as we were definitely a Golden Girls household.
