Craft presents The Great Gilder Sleeves. Craft Cheese Company will also bring you a bean Crosby every Thursday night, present each week at this time Harold Perry as The Great Gilder Sleeves, written by John Whedon and Sam Moore.
Well, here for The Great Gilder Sleeves in just a moment. But first, what's the reason new homemakers favor certain foods? Is it because they have a flavor that particularly pleases the family appetites? Or do you buy them for reasons of economy?
or maybe nutrition is your most important consideration. Well, one food that you'll find is entirely satisfactory for all three reasons is parquet, the quality margarine made by craft. Parquet margarine is a favorite in millions of homes, as is spread for bread and as an appetizing seasoning for hot vegetables.
You'll find too that it's grand when used for baking and pan frying. What's more, parquet margarine is wonderfully nutritious. In fact, it's one of the best energy foods you can serve, And in summer as well as in winter, every pound contains 9,000 units of vitamin A.
Now as for economy, parquet margarine costs a little cash and requires just five red ration points per pound. So for flavor, for good family nutrition, and for red stamp and cash economy, serve parquet, P-A-R-K-A-Y.
Parquet margarine made by craft. Now let's hurry on to Summerfield, where the whole town seems to be in a flurry of excitement and anticipation. Cakes are evaking and gifts are wrapping and tongues are wagging. On the morning of his last day as a bachelor we find the great gilder sleeve lingering alone over
breakfast and studying his nerves with a fourth cup of coffee. While from the kitchen comes the sound of birdies rejoicing. Nobody knows the trouble I see. Nobody knows the trouble I see. Birdie! Yes, sir?
…
We want to thank our sponsors, the craft cheese company for their sympathetic understanding and cooperation. And we want to give the credit to all the members of the Gilles Lee family whom you have come to know over the past year.
Shirley Mitchell who plays Leela, Lorraine Tuttle as Marjorie, Lillian Randolph who plays Birdie, Walter Tetley who plays Leroy, Earl Ross who plays Judge Hooker, Ben Alexander as Bachel Ben, and Richard LeGrand our Mr. P.V.
Thanks to to Claude Sweetin for his excellent music and three low bows to our writers John Whedon and Sam Moore and to our chief, the producer Cecil Underwood. Good night everybody, have a pleasant summer.
Just count the carpenters speaking for the craft cheese company. We hope you'll be listening when the great gilless leave returns again the end of August at the same time and over these same stages.
