From Hollywood, the George Burns and Gracie Allen Show for Hormel and Spam. Amazing people on show when it's all crystal, singing with a smoothie sweet. There's another eastern with a hee-stin.
Bring the family to the breakfast table in a hurry. You don't have to yell or beat on the wall. Just serve Spam with eggs.
The breakfast hit of the nation. When those slices of Spam start sizzling in the pan, the family will come down the stairs two steps at a time. And when they taste the meaty, juicy flavor of Spam, you will be classed as the best cook in the land.
Serve Spamadegs tomorrow. It's so easy. Open the Spamcan, cut off slices of this delicious meat, and fry quickly in a hot pan. And there's a real breakfast that makes husky appetite say, that's for me.
And notice the other recipes on the label of the Spamcan. You'll discover Spam is grand for lunch, served cold, or baked for dinner. Ask for SPAM Spam when you shop tomorrow. My family's gift to America, George and Gracie!
