Barney's commerical from 1970/partial CBS Christmas story

This is a couple of snippets from a 16mm negative (with a separate reel for sound) that I've been working with the last couple of days - the first part is a commercial for Barney's NY (there is another commercial for Barney's after this one that I haven't included here).

After that we have a partial Christmas story from Bill Plante from CBS Network I would guess (again, from 1970). Following this is some color bars and a WCBS logo.

The paperwork from MovieLab NY says that the customer is CBS T.V.; subject is Sales Dept Comm 710105
