Transcript

The Grape Nuts and Grape Nuts Flakes program coming to you from March Field Air Base of the 4th Air Force. They folks, how good are you on higher mathematics because I have a little problem here that's a poser.

The question is, how can you get a plus for your morning's work? If you started off the day with a breakfast that was strictly minors, you know one of those sip and run affairs. Well, with that kind of a minus for breakfast, your work will never add up to a plus.

You're more apt to fold up like an accordion along about eleven. Remember in the morning you haven't had a lick of food to eat for 10 or 12 hours. So, stock up with a good breakfast and let molly-rich grape nuts or grape nuts flakes become the backbone of that good breakfast.

Both of these delicious cereals will bring you all around whole grain nourishment. And a nutritionist say that an adequate breakfast should include a cereal with whole grain food values. Well, that's grape nuts and grape nuts flakes for you all right, and boy are they good.

Grape nuts, crisp and crunchy, grape nuts flakes, tempting toasty brown flakes. Both with that marvellously molly rich flavor. Eat a good breakfast, do a better job. Eat grape nuts or grape nuts flakes. Well, here we are broadcasting from the Army Air Base at Marchfield, California.

And I know all you boys are anxious to meet the star of our show. So without further ado, we bring you a man who needs no introduction and is one of Radio's best loved... Hello, Don.

Hello, Mary. How are you? Mary, Mary, you buttered in just as Don was going to introduce me. Oh, I'm sorry, Jack. That's all right. Sorry, go ahead, Don. OK. So without further ado, we bring you one of radio's best loved personalities.
