For the safety of your smile use pepcident twice a day see your dentist twice a year Lever Brothers company presents the pepcident show my friend Irma Created by Sigh Howard and starring Marie Wilson as Irma with Joan Banks as Jane There's will still be hot Today with living expenses so high, a girl has to be mighty careful how she invests her
money. Me, Jane Stacy, I've always taken great pride in having a good sense of values. That is until I met my roommate, Irma Peterson. There I made my first economic blunder. How do I know?
Well, one day I said, Irma, a penny for your thoughts. You know, I got gypped. Now don't get me wrong, I love her. It's just that, well for instance, the other day I was reading her newspaper and I said, Irma, yes Jane, isn't this terrible?
After all the work and expense, they find that that 200 inch mirror on Mount Palomar isn't perfect. It has a small wave in it. So what, all the mirrors at Coney Island have waves in them and they make money?
You see what I mean? Well, perhaps some other time I'll try to straighten Irma out, but today I'm just too annoyed to even think straight. Jane? Mm-hmm. What is it, sweetie? What's the matter with you?
No, I don't know. I'm just not myself today. I'm so nervous I could jump out of my skin. Well, not in this weather, Jane. You'll catch pneumonia. I'm sorry, I mentioned it. No, no, Jane. I'm your friend and I want to help you.
I wish you'd tell me what's making you so nervous. Alright, I'll tell you. It's my job, my boss, Mr. Thompson. But I thought you said he was a nice man. Well, he is, honey, but he's just too old to be in business.
