The Grape Nuts Plakes program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Philaris, Dennis A. Rochester, and yours truly, Don Wilson. And now, another Grape Nuts Plakes fable, friends, by that old spinner of fables, Don Wilson.
This one's about a little appetite, and how he grew. You see, this little appetite was very, very sad because he stayed so small, and he was always going around waiting. Wows me, wows me, why can't I grow up and be like other appetite?
Then one day a kind lady gave this little appetite a great big tempting bowl full of delicious, toasty brown grape nuts flakes and, quick as a wink, that little appetite grew and grew and grew.
Until all at once he said, oh boy, grape nuts flakes, today I am a man. Well, the moral of that fable is just this. If any appetites need special coaxing at your house, the thing to do is to serve plenty of delicious, molly-rich grape nuts flakes.
Well, the distinctive goodness of Grape Nuts Flakes really makes appetite grow. It's the grand tempting flavor of Grape Nuts in toasty brown crispy flake farm. So ask your grocer for Grape Nuts Flakes tomorrow. Because it's a grand old flag played by the orchestra.
Now ladies and gentlemen, as is my custom. Every Sunday night at the time. Hold it, Don, hold it. Hold it. Tonight's introduction is for our good old maestro. Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to announce that this is the farewell appearance of Phil Harris on this program.
As Phil and his band have joined the United States Maritime Service, they're in the Merchant Marine. As for you and the boys, Phil, thanks everybody. And speaking for the whole gang and myself, I want to say that we've had a lot of fun on this program and we're sure going to miss it.
