J.L.L. Paul! The Jell-O program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Kenny Baker, and yours truly Don Wilson. The orchestra opens a program with just one of those things. I think the childhood memories are among the most pleasant things in life, and here's somebody who agrees with me.
Mrs. Mary Kennedy of Akron, Ohio writes, One of my first memories as a very small girl in the country is my mother making Jell-O and lowering it into the well to set. It was a delightful addition to our hearty country fare, and was welcomed alike by youngsters and brawny loggers.
The years passed and I became a hostess in my own city home. Everything has changed, but not the quality and value of Jell-O, which is still the same fine treat. To me nothing else can equal it, a dessert everybody likes.
Therefore I remain a Jell-O fan. Well, that's a grand letter, Mrs. Kennedy, thank you. And ladies and gentlemen, that letter helps to explain why we ask you always to insist on genuine jello when you buy for that name is a trademark it's the property of general foods and it tells you here's the real thing
here is america's favorite gelatin dessert the one and only jello so look for those big red letters on the box they spell jello that was just one of those things played by the orchestra now ladies and gentlemen we bring you our son kissed master of ceremonies was just returned from a
week's vacation in palm spring yes sir Tell him how I look, Don. Ah, he's the picture of help, folks. Brown is a berry with a magnificent coat of tear. You know, I never fret though.
