Time For a New Car

Mother, is Maxwell house really the only coffee in the world? Well, your father says so, and your father knows this. Yes, it's father knows this. Transcribed in Hollywood starring Robert Young as father. A half hour visit with your neighbors, the Anderson's.

Brought to you by America's favorite coffee, Maxwell House. The coffee that's always good to the last drop. Have you heard of the wonderful one-horse-shay that was built in such a logical way it ran a hundred years to a day?

And then of a sudden it, ah, but stay. I'll tell you what happened without delay. Well, of course it hasn't been a hundred years since the Anderson's bought their car, but you get the general idea.

In Springfield and the driveway, beside the White Frame House on Maple Street, the Anderson chariot is getting quite a going over, like this. I don't care what you say, Father, it is a wreck and you know it.

Is that so? For your information, Betty, they don't build cars like this anymore. They don't build covered wagons either. What was that? Oh, nothing, Dad. I was just thinking. He said they didn't build covered wagons either.

Oh, he did, did he? Okay, Kathy, just you wait. But if you find the car so objectionable, we can arrange for your not to be annoyed with it any longer on Thursday nights. Oh, I didn't mean that, Dad. I think it's fine.

Well, I don't. And I don't even want to borrow it with me, Lord. Good. I'll keep that in mind. Look at it. The paint all worn off, the upholstery all faded. You know, that's the trouble with you, kids. You don't look beneath the surface. That's where your value is.
