Peggy had made the Hunt commercial well before ever hearing from Mitch Miller.  Miller happened to hear Peggy's singing commercial on his car radio as he was driving through Manhattan one day, and he immediately thought that Peggy, her voice and her singing style had definite commercial possibilities.  After some research, Miller tracked down Peggy to her home in California and gave her a telephone call. "This is  Mitch Miller," Peggy heard, when she picked up the phone.  Peggy replied, "Yes, and I'm Snow White," and she promptly hung up.  Not to be deterred, Miller then enlisted the help of Columbia Records' star Jo Stafford, who also lived in California, to get in touch with Peggy and let her know that it was indeed Mitch Miller who was trying to reach her and that he had a recording contract for her in mind. The two finally did get together, and Peggy did get that Columbia Records recording contract - thanks to that earlier Hunt's Tomato Sauce singing commercial and Mitch Miller's keen ear.
