Our rubber company, World's Minds and Manufacturers of Low-Brite Retires, presents another half-hour of music and entertainment, starring Jack Benny. The orchestra opens the program with my babies on-site. Thousands of people in every community have taken advantage of the special sales that the
general tire dealers have been conducting for the past two weeks. To make it possible for more tire buyers to cash in on this timely event, these sales will be continued through Labor Day. There are only a few days left, but there are still plenty of fresh, new, blow-out-proof generals purchased at a rare concession from the general company, especially for this event.
At prices that for once, bring these famous top-quality tires within the reach of everybody. Don't delay. There are still plenty of tires in all popular sizes. See your general tire dealer tomorrow. And now, ladies and gentlemen, if you hear any odd noises on your radio, don't worry. It'll be Jack Benny.
Thank you. Thank you. Hello again. This is Odd Noise speaking. Jack Benny. Why do I pay attention to that guy Wilson anyway? Do you ever see John Wilson folks? He's a big good-natured fellow, laughs at anything, and always picks up a check with a smile on his face.
I mean his salary check. There you are, you hear him? You know Wilson has only been in New York this short time. He comes from the West and was formerly a deputy sheriff in the small town in Wyoming, which is equivalent to a Boy Scout in New York.
He's a well-fed gentleman, eats three meals a day and has a corn beef sandwich rehearsal before each meal. He has the greatest collection of knives and forks you've ever seen, and carries a salt-taker in his best pocket.
