Transcript

Mother is Maxwell House really the only coffee in the world? Well your father says so and your father knows best. Yes, it's father knows best. Transcribe in Hollywood starring Robert Young his father. A half hour visit with your new neighbors the Anderson.

Brought to you by Maxwell House. The coffee that's bought and enjoyed by more people than any other brand of coffee at any price. Maxwell House, always good. good to the last drop.
