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 Margarind. Millions of women all over America serve Parquet because it tastes so good.

Why Parquet tastes like it should cost twice as much. Two markets, two markets, you get some more care. Home again, home again, try it someday. You'll like it, you love it like me, you'll take the day they look larger and more.

P-A-R-K-A-Y, Par-K Margarind, made by Kraft. Well, it's the first week of January. Let's see what's doing this evening at the home of the great Gilder's League. His nephew Leroy is sprawl in the living room floor helping Dick Tracy solve the case.

Oh boy! His pretty niece Marjorie is curled up on the sofa with a movie magazine. Oh Gregory! And the great man himself is in his study going over his first of the year Bill. Oh brother!

Nine and seven or sixteen and five makes twenty-one. Plus sixty-four dollars and thirty-four cents makes eighty-five thirty-four. In Christmas Bill's alone... Hmm... Certainly is more blessed to give in December than to receive in January.

See how I came out in 1948. Adding the 85-34 to the years total makes the best day. And then I go in there. Zeeek! We've spent $500 more than we did the year before. No wonder I can't keep any money in the bank.

Time to have a talk with a little family. Marjorie, please rise. My bank accounts down. That's what's up Leroy. We have to figure out where we can start saving. My dream you listening. Sorry Yankee I was reading about Gregory.
