My name is Ruby Harvey-Burgin. Back in about 1974, I did a commercial for Armadillo's Hand. It was…read moredone by NBC Channel 4 and aired during Soul Train that aired at midnight. It showed the various " hip" merchandise of that era, seemingly quite revolutionary and different!! The owner was a very liberal minded charismatic female. I think she was from either New York or Los Angeles. She felt I was perfect, as a Black young female, to do the commercial during a time when it was quite unpopular. I recall doing the commercial in a long full Latina skirt and western boots, in full Southwestern garb!I I was spinning and twirling in free dance. It ended ( finally) with me looking straight into the camera. We had to do several takes because it seemed the camera man did not want to capture my face. When he played back the edit, it showed his avoiding featuring me and only picking up traces or hints I was somewhere in the mix. When I advised the owner she wasted no time reminding him she was paying for it and had him capture my whole body and face in full expressive glory!! She was bold to have done so! I think she knew the social logistics but felt it was time for social change! If I am not mistaken I think it was Arkansas' first Black commercial sponsored by a Caucasian-owned retail store!! A proud moment in time... history was made!! I would love a copy to show my grandchildren and my current celebrity granddaughter, as well as my nieces and nephews why I have been so adamant about " passion" for life!! Thanks Armadillo's Hand. You made Civil Rights history without knowing you did... so did NBC!! It was a nice feeling when my friends and peers would ask, " Ruby, was that you in that commercial that came on during Soul Train...that Armadillo's Hand commercial?!" Or " Damn girl, you made us proud!"

Owner guaranteed that I would be happy with the finished products or he would make it right, but…read morewon't back it up. He assured me they could make all the repairs needed and provide the highest quality of workmanship. Instead of the professionally repaired and reupholstered furniture he contracted to do, I received a still-broken sofa bed and totally substandard quality of upholstery work on it and two recliners. The new upholstery was sloppily applied without even removing the old upholstery and adding new foam and cushioning as was our agreement. He would not respond when I contacted him several via phone calls, emails, and messages through his website. So I'm out $3,000.00 and the furniture is in the garage since it's too unbearable to look at. I am filing claims, but it is a long and exhaustive process without any surety of positive results. Please learn from my experience and go elsewhere. (You're welcome to come by and check out his work in my garage.)
