Nope, the last time I saw Gleem was sometime around 2002 on the bottom shelf of a WalMart. Kind of like Colgate's Ultra Brite is now - bottom shelf at WalMart for $.99 per tube.
Can't tell for sure, but the range looks like a caloric

I can't tell for sure either what kind of range it is, but it certainly doesn’t look like an O’Keeffe and Merritt to me.

Questions!
Is the oven on that range vented outdoors?
And what are the vents on the left side for? To ventilate a storage area and keep it from getting too hot? I’d think if the left side were a waist high broiler, there wouldn’t be vents there because all the smoke would escape directly into the kitchen.

It's a kitchen heater.
Exciting picture
The left side is some sort of room heater, a necessity in some older homes that originally had solid fuel ranges in northern climates. This might be a vented gas space heater or it might be a solid fuel heater.

It is gas. If it was solid fuel or kerosene it would have cast Iron plates on the left side top and the gas burners would all be on the right. Many kitchens around here had side heaters but most were stinky kerosene.
Shame many only know late Jean Stapleton as Mrs. Archie Bunker from television sitcom "All In The Family". Ms. Stapleton had a long and varied acting career before AITF and after.

In common with many actors and actresses then and still today early years Ms. Stapleton needed to pay bills and television commercials brought in money.
End of that Ivory Snow commercial is bit of an exaggeration. Jean Stapleton and her husband only had two children.
