1960 JFK political ad - inside a typical family home

Transcript

00:00This is the Sills family.

00:03Recently, John F. Kennedy visited the Sills.

00:06Mr. and Mrs. Sills are facing one of the great problems

00:09that all American families are now facing,

00:11and that is the great increase in the cost of living.

00:14Our rent has gone up, our food, our cleaning of our clothing,

00:20buying of the clothing, our gas and electric

00:23and our telephone bills have gone up.

00:25What's been your experience, Mrs. Sills,

00:27as far as keeping those two daughters of yours?

00:29We're very concerned with their future.

00:31We would like both of them to go to college.

00:33Have you been able to put much aside?

00:35No, unfortunately not right now.

00:37One of the things which I think has increased the cost of living

00:41has been this administration's reliance

00:43upon a high interest rate policy.

00:45My own judgment is that we're going to have to

00:48try to do a better job in this field.

00:50Yes, we can do better.

00:52But to do so, we must elect the man who cares

00:55about America's problems.

00:57We must elect John F. Kennedy, President.
