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. Transcribed in 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.
