James E.L.L.O. The Jello program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston and Phil Harris and his orchestra. The orchestra opens the program with Boo Hoo. All of us take a lot of things for granted like the telephone, the movies, and I know that often goes for your grocer too.

You know he's always there ready to serve you. But I wonder if you also realize that your grocer is your friend who is constantly striving to give you the most efficient personal service, plus the finest foods available.

We're minding pleased with the way our dealers have been so anxious to meet your demands for Jell-O, and the way in which they have kept Jell-O prominently displayed, where you can see it and get it quickly and easily.
