Transcript

The Johnson Wax program with Fiverr McGee and Molly. The makers of Johnson's Wax and Johnson's South Pollishing Glocote present Fiverr McGee and Molly, written by Don Quinn, with music by the Kingsmen and Billy Mills Orchestra.

The show opens with blow, Gabriel Blow. Some people are just naturally more thrifty than others, but most of us, no matter how much we try to save, are wasteful in little things, and don't these little things pile up into big ones.

For example, do you always remember to put the covers back securely on packages like coffee, toothpaste? Yes, even floor wax? Next time you use your can or bottle of Johnson's wax, remember to put the lid or cover back on tightly.

That prevents evaporation and helps keep the wax in best condition. And here's another conservation tip on Johnson's wax. For best results, use it sparingly in a thin coat and spread it as far as it will go.

You don't need a heavy coat to get protection for your floors, furniture or woodwork, your leather goods, enameled or painted surfaces. A thin coat polished to a hard surface gives not only protection but rich mellow beauty.

Way to a man's heart may be through his stomach, but if you want to take a shortcut, go through his ego.

As witness, Mrs. Uppington talking to Fibber McGee and Molly. So what did you tell your nephew, Uppy? I told him to come and see you, Mr. McGee. Oh, fine. But you were just the man to give him some advice on how to get on in the world and to make something of himself.

You don't mind. Oh. Ha, mine. Look at him, Abigail. Ha, ha. He's as proud and happy as a man who doesn't own a car, can't eat sugar and hates coffee. Ha, ha, ha. You send that boy to me, Abigail.
