The Abbot and Costello program brought to you by Camel, the cigarette that's first in the service according to actual sales records. See if your throat and your taste don't make Camel a first with you too.
Find out for yourself. Listen to the rhythms of Freddie Rach and his orchestra, the swingy songs of Connie Haines, and this being October 12th, we remind you of the famous words that Queen Isabella said to Columbus.
Yes, sir, Columbus discovered America and America discovered our Camel Stars, but Abbot and Lou Costello. Well, Costello, I'm sure glad to see you again. How do you feel?
Huh? How do you feel? Oh, I don't know. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Here it is. Here it is. I'm going to do some page one. Oh, I feel awful.
I really feel awful. I just got some terrible Lou. What do you mean? Get a load of this letter. What letter? It just came from my cousin Corporal Hugo Costello. Yes. He's been thrown into the Godhouse for bringing poison ivory into the camp.
Poison ivory. Yes. I think you mean poison ivy. No, this was poison ivory. I- I- I'll... Look, Costell, forget about your cousin. I've got some... I've got some important business to discuss with you. Oh good. You know that $75 you made this summer working on your Uncle Otty Stevin's farm?
Er, what about it? Well, I am going to invest it for you today. I'm going to double your money. You're going to double my money? Yes. No, you don't, Abbott. Give me back my 75 bucks.
What do you mean? I'll double it myself. I'll fold it once and put it back into my pocket. That's the line. I'm not going to give you that money. You'll only squander it. Besides, I haven't got the money with me.
