Transcript

40% Brand Flakes really the best tasting cereal of them all? Well, your father says so, and 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 America's largest selling Brand Flakes.

Post 40% Brand Flakes, and by instant post them, the good tasting drink that's entirely caffeine-free. Well, Friday afternoon is always an interesting time around the White Frame House on Maple Street. During the week, it seems that some new facet of life is bound to appear and develop and finally reach its zenith as the junior members of the Anderson family

begin to arrive home after the close of school on Friday. On this particular Friday afternoon, it's Betty who has come home on a towering wave of enthusiasm. She has Jim and Margaret in the kitchen telling them all about it.

Like this. And oh, Mother, you should see how she dresses. Well, personally, I think it shows bad taste for a girl to over dress for school. Oh, but that's the whole point, Mother. She doesn't over dress at all.

No jewelry, very little makeup, no nail polish. And you know why? Probably can't afford them. Oh, Father, please. Actually, your family loaded, simply and gloriously loaded. How do you know that? Does she tell you these things?

Oh, heaven's no. She'd be the last person on Earth to say anything like that. You can just tell from her conversation. She's so sophisticated. So, Ultra, she's really utterly Ultra. Well, you can't be Ultra-er than that.

What's her name? You haven't told us that yet. It's Cynthia. It's not a divine, sophisticated name. What's her last name? Binkley. Cynthia Binkley. Very nice. They've traveled all over, but all over. New York, Saratoga, Paris, France, Niagara Falls, just everywhere.
