Transcript

Jake E. Cowbell, oh! The Jell-O program starring Jack Benney with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Kenny Baker, and yours truly Don Wilson. The orchestra opens a program with Mr. and Mrs. America. If March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb and vice versa, or so they say, yes, it is an uncertain month for weather, but I know the way to make the best of it.

If the wind is howling around outside, that's the very time to enjoy a cozy dinner topped off with gay, colorful jello. Or if it happens to be a sunny springtime day, jello will reflect that cheerfulness in a glowing mold of radiant beauty.

What jello is the most tempting dessert in the world, you look at and to eat. Those six bright colors are so appetizing they make you hungry just to look at them. And those six fruit flavors are extra rich, crammed with a true fruit goodness that satisfies you every time.

Strawberry, raspberry, cherry, orange, lemon and lime. no matter what the flavor and no matter what the weather you can always depend on genuine jello to give the family a grand treat so when you buy look for the big red letters on the box they spell jello and jello spells a treat and this is america played by the orchestra now ladies and gentlemen
