The "Man From Glad"
The Man from Glad is the Glad company's spokesman featured in many of their advertisements. He is an older gentleman with white hair and is always dressed in a white suit. In the 1960s he was known as the "Man From Glad", and was summoned to various households in order to save housewives from their domestically challenged spouses. He wore a trenchcoat and would arrive in a wild variety of spy type contraptions (such as a jet pack or gyroglider), in the style of "The Man from U.N.C.L.E" and "Mission: Impossible".
He has been portrayed by several actors over the years, most famously Tom Bosley. The trash bags' slogan is "Don't get mad! Get Glad!"

“Of course in war all madnesses come out in a man, that is the fault of war not of a man or a nation.”
—Frieda Lawrence (1879–1956)
“In democratic ages men rarely sacrifice themselves for another, but they show a general compassion for all the human race.

They are not disinterested, but they are gentle.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
