Here he is, folks. Movie fans may think that Charles Boye has Dash, and Walter Pigeon has Dash. But we think William Band-X is right up there with him. I'll go further. I've got three times as much Dash as Boye or Pigeon.

Yesterday, my new picture was previewed, and my boss, Darryl Vanik, said, How did that Dash, Dash, Dash, Fendik's get on this lot? Ha ha ha. The American Meat Institute presents William Band-X in the life of Riley.

Meet 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. Chester A. Riley is an ambitious man. That's why, besides working in a Los Angeles aircraft plant six days a week, he also goes to night school three nights a week and still finds enough spare time to gum up the private affairs of his

friends and family at regular intervals. For example, Oh thanks, just the same, Papa. I can write my homework in pencil. No, no. You better use my fountain pen, Junior. It looks more neater to the teacher. Well, it don't matter to Miss Jessopop. She said so.

I know that Miss Jessup. Don't forget she's also my teacher in night school. Go on, you use the pen. Oh, okay. Well, say, Papa, how are you getting along at night school? Oh, great. Confidentially, I think teacher is falling in love with me.
