Transcript

Fruttant problems confronting the country today is that of gasoline rationing. We must all conserve as much gas as we possibly can. Yes! Boss, we never use more of it. You see, Rochester, the gasoline shortage is not a product shortage.

The problem is one of distribution and transportation. And it's up to us to get more miles out of every gallon of gas that we use. Boss, your Maxwell gets over 80 miles to the gallon now!

My car is an exception. Now, Rochester, even in the states where gasoline isn't rationed, people must cut their consumption to the minimum. But, Mr. Bailey... They can do this by organizing their shopping to avoid unnecessary trips, driving under 40 and keeping their carburetors adjusted.

That goes for us too, so adjust our carburetor, Rochester. We don't have to, boys, we're using it for a radiator cap. We'll put it backwards belongs. And remember, Rochester, we should all do our bit because everybody without exception is a part of this war F.

J.E.L.H.E.L.H.E. The Jell-O program presented by Jell-O and Jell-O Pudding starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Genitee, Rochester, and yours truly, Don Wilson. The orchestra opens a program with salute to Gardner Field. It was more than 40 years ago, friends, that the first package of Jell-O was handed across a counter, carried home, and served to a delighted family.

And in the years since that first family enjoyed Jell-O, this swell dessert has been many times improved. Now today, it's been made even better than ever. Because by means of a new jello process, jello's grand goodness is locked in, protected for your added pleasure.

Every package of jello that you buy today gives you extra enjoyment thanks to this new jello process. Every radiant shimmering mold of jello that you serve your family these days is more delightful. Because jello now brings you a new high in flavor, gives you jello at its riches, at its very best.
