Every day, millions of women all over America serve Parquet Margarine because it tastes so good. 2 markets to market to get some Parquet. Home again, home again, try it someday. You like it, you love it like millions who say.
Averrut Marjorie. P-A-R-K-A-Y Par-K Marjorie made by Kraft. Mayday! The day has been going very well for the Water Commissioner. He's accomplished a number of things. You bet. He got up, ate a hearty breakfast, and walked down to the office.
Yes, sir. I'll get the morning mail off my desk and then... What's this? From the Council Chamber. The Rejected Water Report. Bessie, Bessie, come in here. Yes, Mr. Gilles, please. Bessie, sit down and listen to this.
Fear Commissioner Gilles' leave. Again, we find your figures and error. Kindly correct your report and return to this chamber immediately. Oh, my goodness. P.S., we like our department heads to be proud of their public positions, but you are the only commissioner who writes his name three times at the bottom of each report.
What's this, Bessie? You said to sign it in triplicate. That means three copies, Bessie. Not three signatures. Ehh, ehh, ehh, what a secretary. Well, let's get out the figures, Bessie. That's as if you've made some more mistakes, and I'm held responsible.
But, Mr. Gildersle, I put down the figures the way you read them to me. Let's not be making our little excuses, Bessie. A mistake has been made. Let's try to maintain an open mind as to who made it.
