Bring the bell for Pelmel. Pelmel, Pelmel, Pelmel, Pelmel. Pelmel, famous cigarettes, the cigarette of modern design presents the Jack Fenny program with Mary Livingston, Bill Harris, Rochester and yours truly, Don Wilson. Pel for Pelmel, yes, friends, Pelmel rings the bell for you in smoothness, coolness and better taste.

Your eye tells why. Let's make this test for yourself. The next time you see a PELMEL smoker try to light an old-fashioned short cigarette, watch what he does. You'll find that he holds the flame a good half-inch beyond the tip of the short cigarette.

Of course, he's looking for something that isn't there. He's looking for PELMEL's modern design. Modern design means PELMEL is longer. From the very first puff, PELMEL's greater length travels the smoke further. Diminishes heat and bite on the way.

filters the smoke naturally, over a 20% longer root of PELMEL'S traditionally fine tobacco. Yes, France modern design means PELMEL is smoother, cooler, a better tasting smoke. That's modern design. PELMEL'S modern design. And that's the answer. That's why PELMEL rings the bell.

Ladies and gentlemen, today is Easter Sunday. So let's turn back the clock one day and take to Jack Benny's home in Beverly Hills, where we find Jack trying to decide on what clothes to wear in the easter parade. Mary is helping him.

Well, what about the green suit you wore yesterday? That's my gray suit. That's why it's at the cleaner. You know, it always turns green in the spring. La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la. She, Mary, I'm glad you dropped in. What shall I wear tomorrow?
