And moldy-rich, toasty brown grape nuts flakes make such an appetizing dish. You'll enjoy them right down to the last crisp plate. Then grape nuts flakes have a stay with you quality, and they're a whole grain cereal full of all-around whole grain nourishment.
So for a grand to eat breakfast treat, all-ter delicious grape nuts flakes. At home or at your favorite restaurant. That was Clack Magic, played by the orchestra. Now, ladies and gentlemen, we bring you a man who sold more carnations in the Easter parade this morning than any other vendor in the Los Angeles area, Jack Benny!
Thank you, thank you. Well again, this is Jack Benny the florist talking, and Don, you're a little wrong there. I wasn't selling carnations in the Easter parade, I was giving them away. Giving them away?
Yes, every fellow that bought a gardenia for his girl got a free carnation for himself. You see, Don, I planted 10,000 carnations in my backyard to aid the war effort. Well, for heaven's sake, Jack, how can carnations aid the war effort?
My fortune teller told me I could make rubber out of them. I boiled them and boiled them, but they still don't bounce. Oh, that's the first time Princess Corsicoff has ever failed me. Corsicoff? Why, I never heard of that fortune teller.
