J.P.L.L. Ooooooooh! The Jello program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Kenny Baker, and yours truly Don Wilson. The orchestra opens a program with Man About Town from the picture of the same name.

You know in this world you just can't stand still. You either slip backward or march forward. Well in the past 40 years Jello has been constantly marching forward. And for that reason Jello is proud to join the great parade of progress, which is being held all over this country by the associated grocery manufacturers of America.

The idea is to show what amazing progress has been made by food manufacturers over a period of years. And we can honestly say that Jello stands out as a real leader in progress. The years have brought constant new improvements.

Jello began as one flavor. Now it brings you six. And every flavor is extra rich now with a new delicious goodness. Jello costs less nowadays. It's quicker and easier to make, and it brings you a new fruit-rich fragrance.

So Jello is delighted to be a part of the great parade of progress, and we send our greetings to all the grocers of America. And when you're watching the parade, look for the Jello banner.

You'll see those big red letters there that spell Jello. What about town played by the orchestra? Now ladies and gentlemen, I would like to announce that this occasion is a gaily event on our Jello program.

They marked the seventh radio anniversary of our illustrious and beloved master of ceremony. Is it that long? Tempest-Cuget. Exactly seven years ago today, a young man walked into a small New York broadcasting studio and spoke into a microphone for the first time.
