Transcript

The Craft Foods Company presents Harold Perry as the Great Gilder's League. The Great Gilder's League is brought to you by the Craft Foods Company makers of Parquet Margarine. Every day millions of women all over America serve Parquet Margarine because it tastes so good.

To market, to market, to get some parpeh. Home again, home again, try it today. You like it, you love it like millions who say. Sit there with margarini. P-A-R-K-A-Y, par-K margarini made by Kraft. Well, another sweltering summer day is hanging over summer field.

Oh, yes, must do that. You have your feet on the desk. Do they hurt? Hurt? No Bessie, they feel fine. When summer comes, there's nothing like getting the feet higher than the head. I think it has something to do with nature.

Yes, sir. What are you reading? Yeah, I'm studying Bessie. Hydraulics and water pressure. It was such a nice day, I hardly know what I've been reading. I know what you've been reading. Baseball. Your little book inside the big book is showing.

Oh. Oh. Walking down this morning, I saw it on the newsstand. Oh, don't apologize, Mr. Gilda Sleeve. I have my love story magazine here inside my dictation pad. We'll read together. Yeah. Now, Bessie, we can't run a water department that way.
