Goodbye 1938, Hello 1939

J.D. Health Health. Ooooooh! The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Kenny Baker, and yours truly Don Wilson. The orchestra opens the program with no wonder. Well, here we are at the beginning of another year, and Jell-O wants to send greetings to all of you.

And we've received a letter that makes a swell new year's greeting for us. It's from a woman who's been using Jell-O year in and year out for the past 37 years. She is Mrs. C. C. Brown of Huntington, West Virginia, and listen to what she writes.

We bought our first package of Jell-O in December, nineteen-two. We lived in the country then and made few trips to a store so that Jell-O was a bit of a luxury, saved for the holiday gathering of kin and friends.

Needless to say, Jell-O made a hit, and we've used it exclusively ever since. When I had my own home, I wanted something special. Nothing so filled the requirements as Jell-O. In all those 37 years of use, I've never had a package that wasn't perfect, and Jell-O is a prime favorite with my family.

Well, thank you, Mrs. Brown. That's a grand letter to start us off on 1939, and to the rest of you, we'd like to say, if you want to give your family their prime favorite dessert, if you want to enjoy that delicious extra-rich fruit flavor, look for the big red letters on the box.

They spell Jell-O. And now, ladies and gentlemen, this being the first day of the new year, it behooves me to introduce the star of this program, and a man are befitting his dignity and position.
