Transcript

Jake, he's health health. Ohhhhhhh! The Jello program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingstone and Phil Harris and his orchestra. The orchestra opens a program with the title tune from the picture Something to Sing about.

Back in the year nineteen-four Mr. H.W. Kercher of Cancake, Illinois happened to be visiting in Buffalo. He attended a pure food show and discovered a new product he had never heard of before. It was called Jello.

He took a package home and gave it to his best girl who made a dessert out of it. That was 33 years ago and listen to what Mr. Kirchner says today. Later after we were married we always served Jell-O and we're still serving it.

I just want you to know about one of your customers. I don't know how many packages I have purchased but there have been thousands in my home anyway. Well we call that real loyalty and Jell-O must be good to hold its friends for over 30 years.

Jell-O was a great treat 30 years ago, but it's an even greater treat now, for the only changes that have been made in Jell-O are those that have made it even better. Today, Jell-O brings you a new delicious extra-rich fruit flavor, a full-bodied, real fruit goodness that's supremely satisfying.

Order Jell-O from your grocer tomorrow. Look for those big, red letters on the box. They spell Jell-O. That was something to sing about played by Phil Harrison as orchestra. And now, ladies and gentlemen, we bring you that favorite of men, women, and children, especially men and children, Jack Benny.

Yes, sir. You know, again, this is Jack Benny talking, and John, that was an awfully nice introduction, up to the word especially. You know, I don't do so bad with the ladies either. Oh, I didn't mean that, Jack.
