Marlowe Feed Store was the setting for a commercial/industrial film for Buctril Brand Herbicide. Actors in the film (front row 1 to r) were Dennis Cockrum, Merlin the dog, and Ralph Valatka, with the dog's trainer/handler Bill Casey.
When people think of a feed supply store they picture something like Marlowe's Feed Store in Huntley. That's why the Rhea ii Kaiser Advertising Co. chose Marlowe's to film a specialty fllm. It won't be seen on TV but will inform businesses about Buctril Brand Herbicide, manufactured by a French chemical company, Rhone Pluenc, the 6th largest chemical company in the world.
The film features Dennis Cockrum, who appeares in a supporting role in "Uncle Buck"; both the movie and TV show (on Fridays at 7pm).
He's also worked on the TV show "Cop Rock" and the movie "Code of Silence".
Ralph Valatka appears with Mr. Cockrum, and has been a performer in Lyric Opera, the hot dog vendor on "Tiger Town" and in many TV commercials and educational/ industrial films.
They said, however, the real star of the show is the dog. Merlin, who's been featured in movies and commercials, too. Merlin is 7 years old and is trained and handled by Bill Casey of Willowbrook, II.
