< article > < p >
Aladdin Lamp was a radio show that aired in the 1930s, featuring Smilin' Ed McConnell as " The Aladdin Lamp Man" on WLW in Cincinnati, Ohio. Smilin' Ed promoted Aladdin Kerosene Lamps with great success, becoming a well-known radio personality. By 1948, the show was available on 145 ABC stations as a 15-minute or condensed 5-minute program designed for electric lamp dealers, likely originating after 1948.< / p > < p > The show targeted housewives, with Smilin' Ed using his friendly charm and folksy music to engage the audience before pitching Aladdin lamps. The show would include a song, entertainment, and a promotion for both kerosene and electric versions of Aladdin Lamps. Smilin' Ed was accompanied by an organ and piano played by Irma Allen and Del Owen.< / p > < p > Aladdin Lamps, produced by The Mantle Lamp Company of America based in Chicago, were an improvement on the traditional oil lamp, with a circular wick that heated a chemically treated mantle providing a bright white light. Smilin' Ed McConnell would later become the pitchman for Buster Brown Shoes and earn a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The Aladdin Lamp radio show provided a unique approach to reaching housewives, intertwining entertainment and promotion in its four and a half minute spots.
