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, 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. Aime Fortune is a fickle gypsy, always blind and often tipsy. Sometimes for years and years together she'll bless you with the sunniest weather.

Then in a moment, presto pass, your joys are like the withered grass. Well, I don't know about you, but that's the way it is with me, and that's the way it is with the Jim Anderson's of Springfield.

In the White Frame House on Maple Street, fortune is definitely a sometime thing. I'm good or bad. The Anderson's never know quite what to expect. Like this. Jim, have you seen this part of the paper?

Oh, yes. I've read all the ones that are on the floor. Just to help yourself. Well, thank you, dear. You're very kind. Oh, it's practically nothing. I don't know why they don't pass some laws or something.

Look at this, honey. Three more accidents. Two people killed. Everybody's in such an all-fired hurry. Where are they going anyway? Who, dear? The drivers. Go tearing around, knocking people down. Jim, look at this. They're recovering upholstered chairs at the interior house for $35.50.

Good for them. When you think of the lives that are lost, just because people are careless or thoughtless... Jim. I heard you, Margaret. They're recovering chairs, and I hope they'll be very happy. Thirty-five-fifty isn't much at all in that rose chair in the living room.
