Transcript

The craft foods company presents the great Gilder's League. Yeah. It's the great Gilder's League, starring Harold Perry, brought to you by the craft foods company, makers of Far K. Marjorien, and a complete line of famous quality food product.

Now let's join the great Gilder's League. After a day at the office, or almost a day, he has dropped into PV's pharmacy where we find him concluding a small transaction. Thank you, Mr. Gilder's League.

I'll call again. Maybe I will, P.V. Don't take any wooden nickels. Hey, what's this? So that's cute. That, Mr. Gellesley? Oh, men's perfume, eh? Well, it isn't exactly perfume, eh? I believe it's called a grooming essential.

It's a perfume, no matter what they call it. I'm surprised to find you displaying it. Well, I was forced to put it in, Mr. Gellesley. The young fellers wanted. They say women find it attractive.

You don't believe that, do you? I don't know, these young fellas seem to use a ballad of it, and they keep coming back for more. Oh, but this notion about women, they... Well, I only know what they tell me, Mr. Gildersley. I've never tried it myself.

I'm glad to hear it. The man can't attract women without dousing himself for some kind of stinking, he shouldn't admit it. What's it smell like? Yes. It's, uh, in a fancy. It's supposed to smell like pine needles.

Here, I'll open one of these and you can have a sniff. Don't bother. Eh, pretty fancy bottle? You make a nice table ornament after it's empty. I can't seem to get the top off of the dimes.

Let me do it. No, I've got it. If I can get it. Oh, pee-vee! Mr. Gilderslee, I'm terrible, sorry. Oh, over my vest. I'll smell for days. Oh, no. No, it wears off in a few hours.
