Transcript

The makers of Johnson's Wax and Johnson's self-publishing glow coat present Fibber McGee and Molly, written by Don Quinn with music by the Kingsman and Billy Mills Orchestra. The show opens with Let's Break the Ice.

I read an interesting letter from a talented lady who said she and her husband always listened to Fibber McGee and Molly on Tuesday night. Never miss it because it's her husband's favorite radio show. But he's never bought her any Johnson's Wax or self-publishing glowcoat. Well that was hard for me to figure out.

My wife never asks me if she can buy anything like that. But let me make just this one little point about Johnson's Glo-Cote. Forget for a minute all the work it saves your little wife.

Forget the compliments she'll get from your friends when they see those bleeding linoleum floors wearing their protective coats of Glo-Cote polish. But think for a moment about this fact. The Johnson's Glo-Cote makes linoleum last much longer.

Protect it from wear and tear. And I think you'll agree with me that not to insist upon your wife using Glo-Cote is just bad business. Remember, Glo-Cote needs no rubbing or buffing. It's self-polishing. Right on tomorrow.

Well, there's been quite an argument going on this last week at 79 Whistful Vista. Mrs. McGee says her husband should go see an oculus. Mr. McGee says he'll do no such thing. So here, sitting in the office of Whistful Vista's leading oculus, we find Faber McGee and Molly.

Oh, now, stop your fidgeting, McGee. The doctor's seeing just a few minutes. I don't care if he never sees me. This whole ride is silly. I don't need glasses. Oh, you don't? No. I thought you were just kidding this morning when you yelled, Hey, I found a quarter.
