Remember Aronson Furniture? Quality Furniture, Home of the Credit Connection!!

Did u ever buy anything from them? They had 3 locations:

3333 W. 47th St
4630 S. Ashland
1379 N. Milwaukee

What did u buy there? And was the furniture decrepit, or was it ok? Maybe your parents shopped there and bought somethin?


Here's a commercial from the 90s:

From 1980: At this point it was their 40th anniversary! Wow! This thing started before WW2!

Here's a 1982 commercial from 1982 in the middle of a Cubs game:

I only rent my furniture. Not willing to be locked in long term.

Pour one out for the RoomPlace, the rebranded Harlem Furniture because everyone came to associate the old name with crap.

I'll go back and edit it in later but my favorite Aronson Furniture spot was the one that ran in Spanish, where they not only made the voiceover Spanish but rearranged the music to sound Mexican. With all due respect to our hero Eagle Man, the meta-absurdity of translating the bed was closest any Chicago commercial has come to being an SCTV bit. First time I saw it on FuzzyMemories I doubled over laughing.

Perhaps I've posted it before, but anyone going to U of I or EIU might just love the old commercials for This Is It Furniture (where you always get a free onion)
