The craft food's company presents The Great Gilder's Leaves. It's The Great Gilder's Leaves, starring Harold Perry, brought to you by The Craft Food's Company, makers of Parquet Margarind, and a complete line of famous quality food products.

Now let's see how things are going with The Great Gilder's Leaves. Not so well, apparently. Con found it. Nuts, that's the third time this week. Darn car.

Makes me so darn mad I'd like to give it a good kick in the... Oh, chassis! Car won't start. Is that you Mr. Gillsley? I'm so glad I caught you before you got away. Well, you caught me, Bertie, but that doesn't exactly make you frank but the car wouldn't start.

Is that a fact? Well, I just wanted to remind you, we need to meet the lunch, Mr. GLC. But if the cart won't start, I can warm up the lamb stew again. Lamb stew? I'll start it if I have to blast it, Bertie.

Sure, Belle. I'll ask it. It's probably Ben. Ben, well, just what we need, natural-born mechanic. Uncle Mort, Ben and I have plans of our own. Oh, Bertie, anybody home? Yes, fishies, right here in the collar.

Oh. Hi, folks. Oh, Marge. Hi. Hi, Ben. Hello, Ben. Am I glad to see you. Thanks. Say, is that Mr. Bullard's car over there across the street? That new one? It's 46, isn't it? Yeah, it's a pet, huh?

He was the first man in Summerfield to get delivered. I think he got the Congressional Medal. He's got so stuck up over it. Look at it. Part Ver in front of his house so everybody will see it.

That's a beaut, though. He must have pull or something to get it. He's not so much. I'm thinking of getting a new car myself. Oh, key railway? No kidding? Very possible. Where are you going to find a new car these days?
