K-E-L-L-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O! The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston and Phil Harris in his orchestra. The orchestra opens the program with life begins when you're in love. It's not always that you can have delicious things to eat and to save money at the same time, but sometimes you can.

And jello makes the most attractive dessert from salad you ever tasted and jello is amazingly inexpensive. It costs only a few cents a package. One package serves the average family generously and they love it. Jello is America's favorite gelatin dessert and no wonder. For only jello brings you jello's delicious extra-rich fruit flavor. Strawberry, raspberry, cherry, orange, lemon, and lime. All six are packed
