Vacation Arrives

Mother, his Maxwell house really the only copy in the world? Well, your father says so, and your father knows best. Yes, it's Father Knows Best, transcribed in Hollywood, starring Robert Young as father. A half hour visit with your neighbors the Anderson, brought to you by America's favorite coffee, Maxwell House.

The coffee that's always good to the last drop. Quite a few years ago, a poet said, write me a verse, my old machine, I lack for an inspiration. The skies are blue and the trees are green, and I long for a long vacation.

Well, writers aren't the only ones who dream of blue skies and the lesion fields. They just talk about it more than anyone else. Bankers and bricklayers, couplers and carpenters, they all dream of vacation time, even as you and I.

Even as do the Anderson's and the White Frame House on Maple Street like this. Well, give me one reason. Give me one good reason. Jim, we've been spending our vacation at Round Lake for almost ten years.

That's what I mean. We're in a rut. But you've always liked Round Lake. Why does sudden affection for Highland Hills? Because, honey, look, I had a long talk with Henry Liggett today. You've said yourself we can't afford to do the things the Liggett's do.

But Henry said it isn't expensive. Maybe a little more than Round Lake, but not much. I like Round Lake. It's small, it's informal. And you've always liked it too. Margaret, it isn't that I don't like Round Lake, it's just that...

Well, you mustn't forget that we're getting a hat in Springfield. I'm a successful businessman. I've got to conduct myself like a successful businessman. There's a certain dignity about Highland Hills. Father! What is it, Betty?
