Back in the late 50's or early 60's there was a drawing of a girl and
a boy, just their heads, used to promote "Columbia's Younger
Generation". They had freckles and the girl had what looked to be a
sailor hat on. The Sony/Columbia symbol was used for their eyes. What
were the names of these two kids? 50 Beautiful Examples Of Tilt-Shift Photography | Inspiration ::

Dear davitaz53,
Being a collector of classic rock'n'roll, I own a rare 2-CD-box with
comprehensive book featuring that particular advertisement. The boy
and the girl were designed after Larry and Lorrie Collins, better
known as "The Collins Kids". They were brother and sister, a
rockabilly / rock'n'roll act. The drawing resembles, of course, Larry
and Lorrie only very roughly, if at all. They were Columbia's big hope
to get a foot in the rock'n'roll market in the second half of the 50s.

Hope this answers your question!

Wow. Scriptor knows EVERYTHING. I am really impressed!
Here's a bit of info about the Collins kids, who come from my home state, Oklahoma:

Superb speed in answering and gave explicit answer. Many thanks for your help!
Thanks Scriptor, Did the actual advertisement use the name of Lorrie
and Larry for the drawings or did they use two different names?
Thanks for the clarification.
Dear davitaz53,
The advertisement clearly shows the following words together with the
drawing:
"Columbia's Younger Generation: The Collins Kids (Larry and Lorrie)".
No alternative names were created.
Best regards,
Scriptor
