The Johnson Wax Program, Words at War with Clifton Fatimin. The makers of Johnson's Wax for Home and Industry in cooperation with the Council on Books in War Time, again bring you Words at War, another dramatization based upon one of the significant books to come out of this great world conflict.
And here with us, as usual, to introduce our program is one of the keenest judges of good books in America, Clifton Fatimin. Mr. Fatimin. Good evening. Good evening.

leather articles, ornaments, Venetian blinds. The list is almost endless, and each one is another chance to save yourself work, because wax things clean so easily. The coat of Johnson's wax, though invisible, acts like a shield to keep dirt from penetrating the surface. The wax itself takes the wear. The surface underneath is safe.
