Transcript

Is Maxwell House the best coffee in the whole world? Well, your father says so, and your father knows best. Yes, it's father knows best. Grand Scribe and Hollywood starring Robert Young as father. A half hour visit with your neighbors, the Anderson's.

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 to the last drop. When you get right down to it, life today can be pretty complicated.
