The Johnson Wax program with Fiverr McGee and Molly. The makers of Johnson's Wax, Johnson's Car New, and Johnson's self-following blow coat present Fiverr McGee and Molly, written by Don Quinn, with music by the Kingsman and Billy Mills Orchestra.
One of the really important extra uses for Johnson's Wax is the protection of leather. Partly a day goes by without somebody writing us that they've just discovered how useful waxes for their luggage, belts, purses, and shoes. We get this same story today from war workers and from men in service. A girl in a war plant writes, I am among the thousands
of women who are doing a man-sized job of running a machine in a war plant. Our leather shoes protect us against foot injury, and to protect the shoe leather against wear we wax our shoes with Johnson's wax. Another letter from three members of a glider crew reads as follows.
The boys in our outfit have had trouble keeping their GI shoes shined and water repellent. One day we put a coat of your Johnson's paste wax on our shoes. It not only shined them, but helped to keep them dry.
Now we just brush them off and the shine is restored. I've read you these letters simply as a reminder not to forget your leather articles next time you're using your Johnson's wife. October 19th, 1943 has finally arrived, and the squire of 79 wistful vista is wild with joy. Ah, happy day, the ecstasy of it all, the happiness, the cheer, and the jolly old
gladness of it. To think that for seven whole years now, oh, but listen to Fibber McGee and Molly. I made it. You hear that, Molly? I made it. I'm alive and healthy. Now for a clean, fresh start.
