E and ends with tea. That's Dreath, the greatest suds discovery in 2000 years. Dreath brings you the life of Riley. Dreath, B-R-E-F-T, Dreath, Procter & Gamble, sudsing miracle for washing soaks, nylon, woeens dishes, presents the life of Riley with William Vendig's Israeli!

Whenever Chester A. Riley and his co-worker Jim Gillis get to talking about their respective sons, sons of herbal sparring match invariably results. Right now Gillis is leading with an innuendo. Hey, you give me a big pain Riley. Always exaggerating about your junior.

Now wait a minute Gillis. All I said was my junior is a normal boy. Well that's exaggerating. That's so. I don't see your egg bird on a school basket for him. So why? It don't take brains to bounce a ball. Now you take my egg bite. He's got a head on his shoulders.

So that's what that thing is. Take a tip from me, Gillis. Don't let him stick that head into a vegetable store or some purple salad for a squash. Very humorous. But all your junior does is fool around.

He's waking already after school. Puts in three hours a day at a big plant. My boy don't have to work for starvation wages for strangers. He can always work for me.
