In 1973, Harvey Leach opened the doors to Joshua Doore and, for years, drew in customers with the charming slogan “You’ve got an uncle in the furniture business.” A few years later, amid the company’s transformation into Uncle Robinson Furniture, Leach was found dead in the trunk of his car, allegedly as a result of financial challenges.

I remember my family bought furniture at Joshua Doore. And I remember the tune to the jingle.
Yep, after they found old Harvey in the trunk we changed the jingle to… “You’ve got an uncle in the furniture business, not anymore, not anymore.”
