Transcript
Mother, it's 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, brought to you by Maxwell House.
The coffee that bought and enjoyed by more people than any other brand of coffee at any price. Maxwell House, always good to the last drop. June, it's a wonderful month, isn't it? Pull of warm sunshine and clear blue skies and orange blossom.
We mustn't forget the orange blossom. June is the month of rise, which brings us to Springfield and a white frame house on Maple Street. It was the Anderson, you may remember, who got a poor chap named Tom Goodwin to propose to Margaret's cousin Louise.
As a result, the Anderson's are blessed with a wedding this coming Sunday. Ah, but it's a happy time. It's like this. 40 dollars for chicken salad? Jim. There isn't that much chicken salad in the world.
Jim, the children will hear you. Well, let them hear me. Let them hear me. Dear, I've told you a dozen times. I agreed to pay for Louise's wedding. I know that. But good grief, Margaret. 40 dollars for chicken salad.
Jim, we have to feed almost 80 people. 80 people? You mailed the invitations. You knew in the very beginning how many people were coming. I don't know. I agreed to pay for a simple little home wedding.
No fuss, no bother, no... Betty! Betty! Will you please stop that horrible racket? Jumping, we've heard. So a man can't even think around here. People running in and out telephones, ringing bills piling up. The bills don't make any sound.
