Transcript

Johnson Wax program with Fibber McGee and Molly. The makers of Johnson's Wax and Johnson's self-polishing blow coat present, Fibber McGee and Molly, written by Don Quinn, with music by the Kingsman and Billy Mills Orchestra.

With less help and more outside activities and war work, you still have all the chores. Besides that, you've got to take better care of everything you have to make it last. You can't neglect your cleaning either because dirt wears things out.
