From Hollywood, the George Burns and Gracie Allen show for Hormel and Spam. On show when is orchestra for singing glee with a smoothie street Last but not least in with Bud Houston Andy Thiad brings Burns with Allen to your house again with this suggestion for a breakfast that is sure to start the day off right.

Spam and pancake. It's a swell combination. Golden fluffy pancakes topped by a hearty chunk of melting butter surrounded by lightly brown sizzling hot slices of Spam. Spam is tender, juicy meat that has a lip-smacking goodness all of its own.

While the cakes are simmering on the griddle, open a can of Spam and pry slices quickly in a hot pan. The meaty flavor, the delicious taste of Spam, fried is a breakfast hit that really satisfies husky appetite.

Give your family Spam and Pancakes the new way to start the day. Just be sure you say to your food dealer, I want Spam. Bring you those two spambassadors of fun, George and Gracie, who, by the way, have just returned from San Diego, where at the request of the government, they did a broadcast for the United States Navy.

Thank you very much. Yeah, but I wish it had been with us. What a thought was during a broadcast before those 5,000 sailors and those spotless uniforms. Oh, yeah, did one. Gracie, wouldn't you love to be a mother to all those boys?

What? And so on all those others? Yeah, but what an oppressive sight to see. Hundreds of airplanes zooming overhead. You know, my success used to go wrong with a Navy agent. He was a Skyrider.

That's very interesting. Yeah, a hole in was he bashful. She went around with a bashful Skyrider. Yes, every day he used to fly behind a cloud and write, bestie, I love you. That must have been in Florida.
