Goodnight friends, I'm going to talk about fine food, fine breakfast, fine flavor and nourishment, and I'm not going to talk about ration food. How do I do it? Easily good people, easily. I talk about crisp, toasty brown grape nuts flakes. They're mighty swell eating.
Yes, grape nuts flakes are tops for taste appeal. They have such a molly rich goodness, such an outstanding, distinctive flavor, that grand grape nuts flavor, in tongue-easing, toasty flake form. And here's news for you homemakers on the thrift shift.
You can buy as many as you need of those big 12-ounce economy-sized packages of grape nuts flakes without spending a single precious ration stamp. Delicious nutritious grape nuts flakes are not rationed. Ask for grape nuts flakes, America's fastest growing breakfast cereal.
They're all played by the orchestra. Now, ladies and gentlemen, we bring you a man who lost $50 on Rochester's horse in the Kentucky Derby yesterday and took it like a man, it says here, Jack Benny!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Well, again, this is Jack Benny, the gambler talking, and Don, I'll admit that I was a little disappointed when Rochester's horse came in last. But what really gets me is that I lost $50 and the whole race was over in two minutes.
Well, what's that got to do with it? Losing $50 in two minutes, that's too fast. several times in hold-ups, I've stretched it out to 10 minutes. You know, ad lib with a guy while he's taking my shoe off.
Anyway, the race is over. I lost $50 and heaven knows I wish I could forget it. I mean, I'm really not a sore loser. What do you mean you're not a sore loser? Oh, hello, Mary.
