Mother 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 his father. A half hour visit with your neighbors the Andesans, 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.

Longfellow and hea-watha, but I'm sure you get the general idea
