The Grape Nuts Flakes program starring Orson Welles, who is pinch-hitting for Jack Benny, with Dennis Day, Rochester, yours truly Don Wilson, and back with us after an absence of three months, good old Phil Harris at his orchestra.
Remember that game we used to play when we were kids called Fortune, where somebody says, heavy, heavy hangs over thy head, and then you guess what?
Well if any of you homemakers have the same, heavy, heavy hangs over my head feeling about organizing breakfast every morning. Guess what? I have some good fortune news for you. Serve a heaping bowl full of crisp, toasty brown grape nuts flakes that you can dish up in no time at all.
And you know what will happen? You'll discover your family is so easy to please. Yes, easy as pie to please. Once they've tasted the tempting goodness and moldy-rate sweet is a nut flavor of this famous breakfast food.
and Grape Nuts Flakes are a whole grain cereal as nutritious as they are delicious. A swell starter offer for the day. Better order that big economy size package of Grape Nuts Flakes. America's fastest growing breakfast cereal.
And leave that old ration book of yours at home folks. Grape Nuts Flakes are not rationed. That was, it's a grand old flag played by Phil Harris and his orchestra and Phil it certainly is nice having you with us.
This is really like old pie. Well that goes for me too Don, I'm sure glad to be back on the program. By the way, what do you hear from Jackson? Is he still laid up in Chicago?
Yes Phil, and Mary writes me that he's getting along as well as can be expected. You know that's a pretty severe coldy cause. Well if he's on fault for taking a bath without any clothes on, ha ha ha!
