1953 JACKIE GLEASON AND NESCAFE

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton-on-Hudson: our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

As many of you know, Gleason was a regular village visitor. The River Journal had an extensive article on his nearby former home---which was once again on the market in August of 2025--there will be a follow-up on that but for now...

Like many celebrities, Gleason was no stranger to product endorsements. Here he is for Nescafe---the full page 1953 national ad has been sliced in two for easier reading.  The sweepstake spromised $35,000 in cash prizes. Click on the images below.
