My father started out as an assistant manager in Queens, NY, was transferred to Youngstown Ohio as a manager, and finally in Baltimore. I have many fond memories of Robert Hall.
Brought back memories instantly. My parents shopped there for us. Easter coats, dresses. My brother's corduroy pants that lasted a long time even for him☺. My dad writing a check for the total. He worked so hard for us. Robert Hall was one of the stores that kept us well dressed.
I remember the jingle and the commercials well. My grandmother used to bring me there to buy a suit prior to every Easter during my teen years. Fond memories.
We had a Robert Hall in Waterburyt Connecticut. Yup! Got our Sunday and Easter finest suits there! Was a ritual. They played this jungle relentlessly! This jingle just popped into my head a little while ago so I googled the name and found this site! Looks like it's more than just me that is crazy for nostalgia and the' good old days'. I'm 70 so this was in the early 60's/ late 50's. What a great childhood! Thanks Mom, thanks Pops! Now I understand what you were telling and trying to teach us!
Long after the stores were gone, I went to work for a guy who'd call me "Plain Pipe Racks." I had no idea what the heck he was talking about because the jingle was before my time....
I think both of these Robert Halls are located in NE Philly; one at Cottman Ave & Roosevelt Blvd (now Auto Zone) and the other at 7700 Frankford Ave (now a Wawa)
My name IS Robert Hall and I approve this message.

this jingle still pops into my head 50 years later
It's unbelievable. I woke up this morning with this jingle in my head.
I didn’t remember Robert Hall had a jingle, but once it started it all came back and I was singing along with it. Wow!

Yes! The Easter suit, where else but there, then the phots on the front lawn to follow. Great reminder, thanks!

I remember versions of this commercial from the 1960's.
"The prices go up, Up, UP ...and the Values go down, Down, DOWN!" (a friend and I had a very weird sense of humor.)
I was an assistant in various locations.made 125.00 a week for 45 hrs.Rh went public and company went down
Love jingles I remember this one well 3/24/21
I grew up with an instrumental version of this jingle playing behind slides on KTVT 11.
Ken Alexander and Steve Darnall brought me here... Those Were the Days.
RIP, Ken.
Got a lot of Summer peasant tops in the 70s at that store. I wish they never went out of business I’ve missed them since the 70s.

prob refers to the clothing racks on wheels
Classic!
I remember hearing "high quality, economy" rather than "low overhead, low overhead."
Yes but there were different versions in different periods of time. This may have been a real early commercial
