The legend of C.W. McCall began in 1972, when Bill Fries was an advertising executive with Bozell Jacobs in Omaha, Nebraska. Bill was working on the Old Home account for Metz Baking of Sioux Falls, and conceived of series of television commercials which featured the character of a truck driver who delivered the products of Old Home.
