I agree totally Erich... They should have kept it with "MAN"

@ErichH68 BINGO. If it is truly about profit and targeting their best and biggest demographic, there is no logical reason to change it, unless they have been directed to by outside interests for questionable reasons. (think World Economic Forum WEF)

Yes, because surely no woman has ever been employed at Ace Hardware.

Bionic Disco A classic ad...too bad ACE ruined their great tag line because of Political Correctness. Thanks for sharing wonderful history from a better time in the USA.

I hate PC crap too but let's be honest, if the company employed females from the start(which they evidently did) it should never have been hardware "man" in the first place. It's just hypocritical.

That’s too much technicality & believe me, I can get technical! That’s how it was in those days-they were always called the rag man, the milk man, the post man, etc. Granted, more women were performing these jobs by the time the decade of the 1970’s came along, but it’s just a figure of speech. I still refer to the mailman as the mailman even though a female is on the route from time to time.

Connie was a good spokesMAN for Ace. Always good to have a good spokesMAN. Just like it's good to have a good foreMAN for a jury, and a good CongressMAN to represent you. In these terms, "MAN" is meaning a human being, and not a term of gender. I keep waiting for enough women to whine about the Declaration of Independence saying "all MEN are created equal," meaning all HUMANS... not all people of the male gender. Or changing huMAN to "huperson."

The people in this comment section are making my head spin. How in the world is changing one word in the jingle ruining it? What is being ruined here? It's a jingle for a goddamn hardware store. The new jingle is also quite better since the word "folks" makes it sound more like someone friendly who has your back that you can rely on. But no, everyone else are the snowflakes, not the people who get offended over one word being replaced in a commercial.
