The Craft Foods Company presents Willard Waterman as the Great Gilder Sleeve. The Great Gilder Sleeve is brought to you by the Craft Foods Company. Makers of the wonderful new Crafty Look Slices, those perfect slices of extra-melotasting pasteurized processed cheese.
When you shop tomorrow, look in your grocer's dairy case for those neat square packages marked Crafty-look slices. As neat as they are, every package holds eight big slices of delicious processed cheese. Eight perfect slices that are cut, wrapped, and sealed for you by craft.
So remember to look for those handy packages and try all five grand kinds of crafty-look slices. Doing at the great Gildesleeves house this morning. Little Leroy is just knocking on his uncle's door and by the tone of his voice he's trying to get out of something.
Yes, Leroy. Come in. Thanks, Ench. I don't have to be in the Summerfield Centennial, do I? You, I says my boy. They're auditioning all the school kids for the pageant. They want me to be a singing Indian.
They're singing Indian? Leroy, I think you'd make a fine Indian. You kid, I don't have to sing to my own, do I? No, Leroy, why not? I'd just be wasting their time and my time.
No, you wouldn't, my boy. You don't think so? You're right, you'll be wasting your time. Keith, I don't have to do it, huh? Well, I think you should offer to be in it. You can't carry a tune, but you might carry a hatchet.
Yeah. Oh, I don't want to be in the old pageant. No, Leroy, the centennial is going to be quite a thing. There's an article here in the newspaper about the pageant. Pageants, magin. Here, listen to this.
