Transcript

Lipton tea and lipton soups present in a sanctum mystery. Good evening friends of the inner sanctum.

This is your house to welcome you through the squeaking door. What's that? You're scared. Don't be frightened. Why, we've been beating our brains out to make things pleasant for you. Let's take that fellow lying on the floor.

Now that's a nice guy, really solicitous. He put a bullet through his head because he didn't want you to be bored. Hm? Oh, you don't like that pretty lady hanging from the chandelier. We'll fix that.

We'll cut it down and nail her to the wall. And she'll be a pinup girl. My goodness, Mr. Host, sounds as if there's nothing you and your friends wouldn't do to oblige. Oh, but there is, Mary. You'd never catch us being nice to anyone to oblige. Not on your death, would we, too, then?

I can't believe you're so different from most people, Mr. Host. And most people enjoy doing nice things for others. Like what, Mary? Why? Like always having lipton tea on the table. That's one of the nicest things you can do for your family and friends. Why do I say lipton tea? Well, there's a good reason

for that. Liptons has that wonderful brisk flavor. And brisk flavors, the thing that makes a world of difference between liptons and other teas. In fact, brisk is the tea expert's own word for that fresh, lively, full-bodied flavor of lipton tea. And it's a word you'll agree just naturally applies to Lipton's the very first time you taste this delicious tea.

For Lipton's has a zesty full flavor that makes it stand right out. So for extra cheer and comfort and satisfaction in your tea drinking, get acquainted with Lipton's right away. Why put up with just so so teas any longer when there's so much more pleasure to be found in Lipton's brisk flavor?
