Riley Trains Junior's Dog

Yes, folks. You've seen him in movies as the star of Wake Island and Lifeboat, and you hear him as Riley on this program every Sunday night. But did you realize that he's also a very learned fellow?

Oh, can you embarrass me? Remember, I'm no shower. It's true I went to grammar school 14 years. But I never let my education go to my head. The American Meat Institute presents William Band-Eggs in the life of Riley.

The meat people of America, providing a great food for a great nation. Five million farmers and ranchers raising fine meat animals. 600,000 men and women in more than 3,500 meat packing plants. 400,000 meat retailers.

All doing their level best in face of the enormous demands of war to put meat on your table. On behalf of all these, the American Meat Institute brings you the life of Riley. Like most men who toiled hard all day, Chester A. Riley, war worker, husband, father, and man about small town, likes to sit awhile before supper any shirt sleeves on the front steps of his California bungalow, and exchange repartee with passersby.

He is sitting out there now when Artemis Egan, the letter carrier, comes by and hails him. Even Mr. Riley, how are you this evening? Fine, Mr. Eakin, how are you? I'm fine. How are you?

Fine, thanks. Got a little headache, though. Of course you have. I could tell you had a headache the minute I laid eyes on your shoes. Shoes? Mr. Riley, most of a man's trouble comes from his feet.

Now you take my feet... What for? I mean, my feet are fine, Mr. Eakin. I got two of the best feet around, right? Now you take me, your postman, I'm a feed all day and for years no one knows the trouble I had adopted for this inducted for that till I found out it was all from wearing the wrong shoes
