The Grape Nuts and Grape Nuts Flakes program starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, Rochester and yours truly, Don Wilson. All the years of a favorite, that spells Grape Nuts. Yes sir, back in the days when sweet Rosie O'Grady was a favorite at the family harmonium.
Delicious, Molly Rich Grape Nuts were a favorite at the family breakfast table, and they still are, and there's a reason. Grape Nuts have a distinctive sweet as a nut flavor that makes for re-leading fun in the morning.
A flavor that's a luscious, two-grain blend of sun-ripe and wheat and malted barley. And today you can enjoy that one delicious flavor in two delicious forms. Grape nuts, crisp crunchy kernels, and grape nuts flakes, delicate, toasty brown flakes.
And both grape nuts and grape nuts flakes bring you essential whole-brain nourishment, which makes them basic seven foods. One type of food Uncle Sam wants you to eat more of, because they're nourishing, plentiful, not rationed.
So treat your family to maldy rich, great nuts or great nuts flakes in the morning, every morning. It's a mighty swell way to start off. Ladies and gentlemen, it's four days before Thanksgiving and this year as every year, Jack Benny will entertain his friends on the holiday. So yesterday Jack and Mary went shopping

I'd like enough turkey for nine. Jack, didn't you invite Don Wilson? Oh, oh yes. Make that enough for fifteen. Is that uh... that'll do it. Oh Jack, Don doesn't eat so much. He doesn't. I remember last time I threw a big party.
