Mother, why does Daddy insist on instant sankour coffee? Your father says instant sankour is 100% pure coffee, and the only instant coffee that lets him sleep. 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 neighbor's the Anderson. Brought to you by instant sankour, the delicious coffee that lets you sleep, and post 40% brand plays. Mother, next time you're choosing a cereal, remember, New post-brand flakes give your family all the important keep regular benefits of brand in a cereal with a delicious new magic oven flavor.
Consist on post-brand flakes, the cereal preferred and eaten by far more people than any other brand flakes. They're wonderful for breakfast, lunch, or in-between meals, so get post-brand flakes this weekend. They're good and so good for you.
Remember the play Harvey? One of the principal characters was an imaginary six-foot wrap. Well Harvey has nothing on the Anderson's this afternoon. They have a rabbit four feet tall and it's not imaginary. Anyway, it's real on the outside, white fur and big floppy ears.
Inside, well it's Cathy. She's standing in the middle of the den in the rabbit suit, while Margaret and Betty and Bud stand off to study the effect. Like this. I think it looks fine, don't you Betty?
Sure the costume's all right, but hold your paws up. Which one? My front paws are my back paws. Your front wouldn't stopy. A rabbit holds his paws up in front of him when he sits down.
They don't hang down like he was saying, baaaaaaaa. It's a pretty dumb looking rabbit if you ask me. Nobody asked you. Alright, take it off, Angel. We want to keep it clean for the night.
