Makers of Johnson's Wax and Johnson's self-fallishing glow coat present Fibber McGee and Molly, written by Don Quinn, with music by the Kingsmen and Billy Mills Orchestra. This morning, right nearly, I had an idea. Oh, yes, I have ideas once in a while.
Why not start a special little department here on the show, call it the department of new or unusual uses for Johnson's Wax? I could even ask you people to write in and tell me about new uses you've discovered for wax.
And maybe we'll read them on future programs. Isn't that a good idea? For one thing, we may all get some very timely suggestions, either for saving work or protecting our things. I could start off this department of new uses with a letter that came in the other day from a woman in Illinois.
Here it is. I always wax my oil cloth, table tops, and pantry shells. I wonder how many other women have discovered this new use for your wonderful Johnson's wax. It keeps the oil cloth glistening, easy to clean, makes it last longer, and the dishes don't stick to the cloth.
Yes, sir, folks, that's just one of the 100 extra uses for Johnson's wax, for protecting, beautifying, taking better care of the things you have. It's a strange and wonderful thing that in times of great national emergency, some born leader always arises to lead his people to victory.
In England, there's Churchill. In America, there's Roosevelt. In Russia, there's Stalin. In China, there's Chiang Kai-shek. And in West Augusta, during the Red Cross Drive, there's... Well, wouldn't you just know it? And here he is as we meet, Weber, McGee and Molly.
