The Grape Nuts Flakes program starring Orson Wells, who's pinch-hitting for Jack Benny, with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, Rochester, and yours truly, Don Wilson. Friends, you've all heard that line about stretching a point, haven't you?
Well, here's where I turn out to be the best little stretcher bear of a precious ration point you ever heard about. All you have to do to save a ration stamp at breakfast is to make it Grape Nuts Flakes every morning.
The Grape Nuts Flakes are non-racian, nourishing whole grain cereal. But that's only half the story. You'll also find Grape Nuts Flakes on a whole box full of particularly tempting toasty brown goodness. It's your old friend that sweet is a nut Grape Nuts flavor turned out in extra crisp, extra appetizing flake form.
In a word, Grape Nuts Flakes are a breakfast treat your whole family is going to enjoy right down to the last crisp spoonful. And when you buy this swell and rations-stampless breakfast cereal, be sure you ask for the big 12-ounce economy-sized package of Grape Nuts plates.
That was Night Train to Memphis played by the orchestra. Now, ladies and gentlemen, once again, we take you to the little drug store to the NBC building here in Hollywood, where our whole gang always gathers for a bite to eat before the show.

Here you are. Right, Cliff, that's a beauty. Well, here comes Don Wilson. And Phil Harris is with him. That old-time glamor boy. If he throws any of his lilies today I'll smack him right in the kisser with his lemon pie, Radcliffe put that down.
