Transcript

Craft presents The Great Gilder Sleeve. The Craft Cheese Company, makers of Parquet Marjorun and a complete line of famous quality food products, presents Harold Perry as The Great Gilder Sleeve. Craft brings you The Great Gilder Sleeve every week at this time, written by John Wheaton and Sam Moore with music by Claude Sweeten.

We'll hear from The Great Gilder Sleeve in just a moment. First, a special message. This summer, four million emergency workers are urgently needed on American farms. You can help by devoting your spare time and energies to the task of cultivating and harvesting these vital crops.

Plan now to be a victory farm volunteer. And now, here's good advice to everyone who's working extra hard these days. Help replenish some of that energy you use up each day by spreading delicious parquet margarine on bread, toast, rolls, and crackers.

Parquet, you know, is one of the very best energy foods you can eat, and it's fortified by craft so that every pound contains 9,000 units of important vitamin A. So for delicious, satisfying flavor, and for good nutrition too, serve parquet at every meal.

Tomorrow, ask your dealer for parquet, P-A-R-K-A-Y, parquet margarine made by craft. The Great Gilder's Leave. The curfew tolls the knell of parting day.

The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lead. The water commissioner homeward plods his weary way, and leaves the world to darkness and to me. Wonder what's for dinner. Tired tonight. Tired but happy. Grass needs cutting.

Oh well, perhaps I can interest Leroy in the problem. Anybody home? Hello, honky. Oh, I didn't see you there, my dear. How'd it go today? Oh, pretty well, my secretary's back. Bessie? Yeah, Bessie's back.
