The Looney Tunes animated short Design for Leaving was released on March 27, 1954 — 70 years ago today. One-minute into it, door-to-door salesman Daffy Duck shoves Elmer Fudd onto a nonstop bus headed to Duluth. Fudd returns moments later on a Duluth Van and Storage Company truck after Daffy has updated his home with futuristic appliances.
As it turns out, Duluth Van and Storage Company was a real business, promoting itself as “the only first-class warehouse for storing household goods in the city.”

I was just watching that episode a few minutes ago! I can’t believe it was 70 years ago!
