Father's Day

Jake E. Hell of all. 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 Confidentially. When I was a kid spending the summer in the country, my grandfather used to tell me about the country's stores when he was a boy.

He said he'd sit on a sack of flour and swing his bare legs while his mother argued with the storekeeper. Seems there wasn't a thing she'd take his word for from a dilt pickle to a barrel of crackers And good old grandpop said it was your something to listen to those arguments.

Well, things have certainly changed. Today, there's no ground for an argument. When you go into a grocery store, you find packaged foods with brand names you recognize as your guarantee of quality. For instance, when you see the word jello on a package, you know that here is a fine product, the real thing.

Because that very name, jello, is a trademark. It's the property of general foods. If you hear any other gelatin dessert called jello, that's incorrect. Well, there is no other jello. And remember, jello brings you that extra rich flavor as tempting and refreshing as the real ripe fruit.

So always ask your grocer for jello. And by the way, this week the National Association of Retail Grocers are holding their annual convention. And we want to send them congratulations and best wishes from Jello, America's favorite gelatin dessert.

and now ladies and gentlemen, this being Father's Day, we bring you a man who is daddy to a polar bear, Jack Benny. Hello again, this is Jack Benny talking, and Don, you're right. I do take rather a paternal attitude toward Carmichael.
