Transcript

The makers of X-Black, the original chocolate laxatives, resent, strain as it seems. Just suppose for a minute that we're at an airport. Somebody says, here comes the Chicago ship. And there it is, a little silver spec getting bigger by the second.

Then it settles to worst in an easy, gentle role. That's skillful handling for you. A perfect example of correct timing. Now, you may not fly a plane, but there is one place in your life where this same correct timing is vitally important to you.

No, by golly they didn't. Boy, Sweet Bessel would have paid over $1,300 if anyone had fed on her. Oh, gosh, what a break. If only I'd have put a bet on her. I'd be fixed for a year, and I thought it was poor business up at on a long shot.
