The Grape Nuts Plakes program with Rochester, Dennis Day, Bill Goodwin, Paul Heifman, and his orchestra and yours truly Don Wilson, and appearing for Jack Benny, who is confined with the cold, we have Jack's personal friends, George Burns and Gracie Allen.
Well ladies, now the chews are being racy, you won't want to waste any shoe leather tracking down your week's food order. So although I don't say run, I do say walk to your nearest grocers, what a big 12 ounce economy-sized package of delicious, toasty-brown grape nuts flakes.
Your grocer has plenty of grape nuts flakes, or whole-grain cereals are abundant and thrifty, and they are not gracians. And government nutrition experts say we should eat more of them. Eat them often, or you see grape nuts flakes in your diet help you to make up for other food shortages, because they provide many nutritional essentials, including protective minerals
and vitamins. And you get more flavor galore. Moly rich goodness plus toasty brown texture in each luscious spoonful. So take a shortcut to 50 year grand tasting nourishing breakfasts by asking your grocer for great nuts flakes.
Ladies and gentlemen, when Jack Benny found that he couldn't do his broadcast tonight, he told me to call on his good friends George Burns and Gracie Allen and asked them to pinch it for him.
So I started for the Burns Hotel to tell them about Jack's problem, never dreaming that another problem was already brewing in the domestic life of George and Gracie. Gracie, would you please get away from that piano? We've been in New York a week now and that's all I've heard.
But George, March 16th is my concert with Paul Whiteman and Carnegie Hall. If I don't practice, I may lose all the magic in my finger. Look, don't you realize that you're driving everybody nuts with this idea? In the past, Week 4, Whitefield has lost 20 pounds.
