Transcript

Hello everybody! Hello friends! Rosie, here we are! Got another session coming up for General Electric Light Bulbs and Fellows and Company. Who takes the first song today? We haven't settled that yet, huh? No. You want a boat on it?

Well... If you take it, go ahead. Well, thank you very much. I wanted to... Well, it couldn't happen to a nice little girl. Really, I don't think so. Thank you for your thoughts, Bing. Well, I must say the price is right.

I was just thinking, Rosie, what an enviable man Thomas Edison was, all those inventions. Well, if you can call working 72 hours at a crack, Then, sleeping four hours before staying awake another 72 hours enviable.

You're welcome to my share. Say you give me an idea. How's that? Well, this is staying awake 72 hours. I think I know Wyattis and did it, you know? He was making sure that nobody snatched his first light bulb.

After all, it was the only bulb in the house. I don't think you're being very respectful to Mr. Edison Bing. Well, I promise you no one has more respect for the great inventor than I, but in this case, he was wasting his time.

Why would anybody want to snatch his bulb? He not only had the first bulb, he had the only socket. I suppose some people today wish they had the bulb's natcher problem that well licked. Although one bulb and one socket sounds like a pretty dim way to live.

Oh, you paint such a gloomy picture, Rosie. But General Electric makes it possible first to have all the sockets we need. We can still foil the bulb's natures. You mean like having plenty of spare bulbs on hand?
