3x-xx-xx ep027 The Man Who Financed the Revolution

The makers of X-Lacks present strange as a team. Now, like Alice in Wonderland, we step through the looking glass from a world that is commonplace and perhaps a trifle dull, to the fantastic world where strange people do strange things.

The strangest of these are presented to you twice each week by the makers of X-Lacks, the original chocolate deluxeity. Deluxeity, by the way, which is overwhelmingly the world's favorite. Deluxeity that far outsells every other brand by a very generous margin.

Why, in America alone, more than 46 million boxes of X-Lax were used last year. It's truly amazing record, but the reasons for it are easy to understand. X-Lax is so mild and so gentle that you hardly know you have taken a laxative, and yet for all its mildness, X-Lax is completely and thoroughly effective, and it's so delightful to take.

It tastes just like the finest, most delicious chocolate. When you or any member of your family need a laxative, won't you try X-Lax and find out for yourself how agreeable, how pleasant it is, and how inexpensive too?

It is only ten cents a box at any drugstore. The man who financed the revolution. The United States was born to the effort of a handful of men and women who put love of country above every other desire.

But did they always receive a just reward? 1781 in Philadelphia Robert Morris wealthy merchant and patriot and one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence is talking with General George Washington. You have already done so much for the Army, Mr. Morris. It seems unfair to come to you again.

I would not want you to go to anyone else, General Washington. What is it you wish? As Superintendent of Finance, you realize how we fought this war with pennies as against British pounds. Now the time has come when I can strike a decisive blow at Cornwallis in Yorktown. You think it might be the beginning of the end? It would be the end.
