Hey Don, Don. Yes, Jack. How long before we're on the air? About eight seconds. That long? Yeah, I can't wait till I pull that first joke. Oh, brother, it'll kill him. But Jack, it's such an awful one. Don, never mind. There's a signal.
The Grape Nuts and Grape Nuts Flakes program coming to you from the Army Air Force's pilot school at Stockton, California. And starring Jack Benny with Mary Livingston, Phil Harris, Dennis Day, Rochester, and yours truly, Don Wilson.
About the end of a perfect day, that peace and contentment which comes with evening. But did you ever stop to think it may all depend on how you start today? If you get through your morning's work in high, you're over the worst hurdle.
And that's why breakfast is so important. You haven't had a thing to eat for 10 or 12 hours, so your breakfast should be a well-rounded nourishing meal. Nutrition experts agree on that, and they also agree it should include a cereal with whole grain food value.
Well, you can't do better than feature grape nuts or grape nut flakes. For both of these delicious cereals do provide whole grain nourishment. Iron, Niacin, Vitamin B1 plus Protean. So crisp, crunchy grape nuts or delicate, toasty brown grape nut flakes make an ideal breakfast dish.
Cram full of nourishment, cram full of flavor. Eat a good breakfast, do a better job. for a really swell start. Feature, Molly Wretch, Grape Nuts, or Grape Nuts, Blake. Oh boy, I can't wait. And now, ladies and gentlemen,
from the Army Air Force Pilot School at Stockton, California, we bring you... Don, never mind the introduction. I want to get to that first joke. And here he is, Jack Benny. Yeah! Thank you, thank you.
