Artie Auerbach (1903-1957) was best known on radio as Mr. Kitzel, who recommended " a peekle in the meedle, mit da mustard on top" on shows of Jack Benny, Al Pearce, Phil Baker, Eddie Cantor and other comedy and variety shows.

Auerbach, a native New Yorker, was educated at NYU and worked as a reporter for the Daily News before moving into radio. He was on The Goldbergs, House of Glass, Real Folks, Tony and Gus, Calling All Stars and Mark Hellinger's Review. He also had his own show, Defective Detectives, in which he played all the roles.
