Marty Mayrose The Meat Man 1967 Crewneck Sweatshirt

If you lived in St. Louis during the '70s, you probably remember Marty Mayrose 'The Meat Man' or at least remember his "I'm a meat man, and a meat man knows, the finest meats, ma'am, are Mayrose" jingle. Marty was created in the late '60s by a local adman to help promote the Mayrose meat products. Initially appearing in print ads, and then in animated TV spots before becoming a fixture on product packaging, Marty was somewhat of a local celebrity. Decades later, STL locals can still find Marty hanging out everywhere from old markets to dive bars as countless promotional items from statuettes and thermometers to ashtrays and open/closed signs were produced over the years.
