Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mother.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Maxwell House the best coffee in the herd world.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
Well, your father says so, and your father knows best.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Yes, it's father knows best. Transcribed in Hollywood Starry Robert
Young his father. A half hour visit with your neighbors.
The Anderson brought to you by Maxwell House, the coffee
that's bought and enjoyed by more people than any other
brand of coffee at any price. Maxwell House always good
to the last drop. A father's a pitiful fellow, rauh, beaten, maligned,
(00:50):
and a press.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
But on Sunday his boot will be mellow.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It's the one day when father knows best. That's right, neighbors.
This coming Sunday is Father Day, and in Springfield it's
going to be quite an event. The white frame house
on Maple Street is bustling with activity, and as Jim
Anderson steps through the front door, we can't be quite
certain as to whether or not he approves. But we'll
(01:14):
find out, won't we. Margaret, I'm hey, what's going on here, Jim?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
What are you doing home?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Well? I just thought you aren't.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Supposed to be home until six o'clock.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I know, honey, but there wasn't anything doing at the office.
And I figured, what's going on in the living room
a hog caller's convention.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Why don't you go for a walk or something?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I don't want to go for a walk.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Why don't you run down to the drugs.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Don't want to run any place. I just want to sit. Now,
will you please tell me why the living room sounds
like a weasel got into the henhouse? Why what is
going on in the living room? Oh well, it's a surprise, honey,
not a gare.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Well, it isn't exactly a surprise. But Jim Anderson, one
way another, you always managed to spoil everything.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
What did I spoil? Now?
Speaker 5 (02:05):
That's the food and refreshment committee for the Father's Day outings,
all right, I.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Didn't wait a minute. There must be a dozen women
in there.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
There are only eight.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
That's the committee for food and refreshments. But the whole
outing was supposed to be for five or six families.
What happened, Well, it grew, honey, I said. I didn't
mind going on a picnic with people like the Hathaways
and the Woodies. But if you think I'm going to
spend Father's Day, how many are they going to be?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Well? Norman and Harriet Franklin said they weren't sure, and
Jane Overton said she'd.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Have to ask how many people are there going to
be including the children, including everybody's.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Two hundred and twelve.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Two hundred and twelve people's without the Franklins and the
Overton No, it didn't get to be two hundred and twelve.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Well, Lucilla Hathaway told a few of her friends, and
Dorothy Woody told a few of hers.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
They told a few of theirs.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Then, of course, when we got the boys Club to
join the Boys Club for Father's Day, isn't it wonderful?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
We're making it a father and son's day.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Honey, why don't you just give me a necktie?
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Everyone thinks it's a brilliant idea, and they're talking about
it all over Springfield.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
It's going so well.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
The operation was a success, but the patient died nothing. Honey.
I was just I think I'll go into the den
and lie down.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Oh no, you can't. I what the contest committee's in there?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
The contest committee they have to.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Think of all sorts of stunts and games. It's really quite.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Important stunts and games.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
You're going to have a wonderful time, Dear, I know it.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yes, I'd better go upstairs and lie down for a while.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
That's a good boy. Oh, Jim, don't go into our room.
I turned that over to the Transportation Committee.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yes, dear, I'll be sure not to go into our room.
Father's Day. The best thing they can do with father's
on Father's Day is leave them alone stunts and games. Hi, father,
what are you doing home? That's the second time I've
been asked that what's the unusual about my coming home?
I come home all the time.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Pardon me, I was only trying to be pleasant.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Man comes into his own home and what happens. He
can't get into the den, He can't get into the
living room, He can't get into his own bedroom. You
can't go into bedroom. Father. Now see here, Betty, but
it's all full of hats and coats. Oh so it's
my room.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
That's why I have to study out here.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Well, it could be worse, I guess right now. I
can't think how, but I suppose it could.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Going downstairs, father, No, I'm.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Trying to say a new record for the indoor ski jump.
Tell me, oh, three, am I going downstairs? What did
you think I was doing? Deep sea diving? Am? I
going downstairs, Hi Dad, what are you doing home? I? Well,
(05:19):
never mind one of those these oh their tickets. I see.
You wouldn't care to confide in me a little further,
would you? Huh?
Speaker 4 (05:30):
What are the tickets for the for the picnic?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
You owe six in a corner for the Father's Day picnic. Sure,
I'm being taken to a Father's Day picnic, but I
have to pay six dollars and twenty five cents?
Speaker 4 (05:46):
What four five tickets?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Let me put it in another way. We're taking our
own lunch, right right, there's no charge for the picnic grounds?
Right right? Then? Who gets the six dollar? I wasn't
twenty five cents?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Didn't I tell you about that?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It gets split up. I see. Part of it goes
to the boys club and the rest, Uh, the rest
of it goes to the boys. Well that's nice. It's
what I call a very neat arrangement.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Holy cow, Dad, we had to have some reason for going.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Hi, therry so help me? And she says, one word,
are you doing how I'm going down to the basement?
Speaker 4 (06:36):
You can't add it full of women?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
If your mother they're in the basement too.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
They're practically crawling out of the woodwork.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I don't know. Women can be so wonderful? Why do
there have to be so many of them?
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Are you a good place to hide?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Nobody said anything about hiding. This is as much my
home as it is anyone else's.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
And if they be where in back of the garage,
you can't even hear it out there.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
In other words, you are suggesting that I run away.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Yeah, like a coward.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well, I was only trying to help kitten.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
You know what Voltaire said, don't you? I do the
coward flees in vain right. But yes, sir, that's what
he said. But on the other hand, I remember another
quotation which says, tis not too late tomorrow to be brave.
Where are you going? Dad? Out and back of the garage? Hello, Jim,
(07:47):
wats a good word? Hello Sam? I'll go the homegrown
radishes and tomatoes. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (07:52):
Yet the bugs haven't left one big enough to eat.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Hello Kelly, But we're hiding, Kathy, Say yeah, I just
came out to get a little fresh air, that's all.
Sure's a beautiful day, isn't it, Sam, House for women? Uh,
they're hanging from the chandeliers.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Were I didn't see anybody keep cried.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Well, yeah, oh, another joke.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Huh, mister Woody, if you haven't brought your tickets for
the Father's Day picnic, lead mister Woody alone, Bud. But
if he's gonna buy tickets anyway, it's all right, Jim.
If I'm going to be hooked, it might as well be.
But Bud, well, it's a very worthy because mister Woody,
And besides, they're.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Giving away all kinds of junk. I mean prizes.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
Say, Dorothy was telling me about some of those prizes,
and they aren't bad.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
That'll be three seventy five, mister Woodie, second bud prizes for.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
What the various contests, three legged racers, sack races, usual things.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I wouldn't be caught dead in a sack race or
a three legged race either.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
Missus Pope says they're not gonna have a three legged race.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I thought they were.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Well, missus Thorpe says she doesn't think you'll be enough
people there was three legs.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Well, that's logical for her. Mister Woody, if you'd like
to give me the fee seventy five, now, you know.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Jam, you might change your mind if you saw some
of those prizes. They promoted a sixteen millimeter Cameron projector.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
That's nice promoting.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
They're gonna have a weird Drew race and the prize
is six dozen golf ball.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Mister Woody, if you'd like to give him in it
is she on the level? Sam, that's right. I told
you they'd gone all out, but six dozen golf balls.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
You want to see the prize they've got for the
egg race for her of the most beautiful matched woods
you ever saw.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You're kidding, mister Ruddy. If you'd like a matched woods,
you know, maybe I'm gonna like this picnic after all,
mister Woody, I don't like about it on those cock
eyed contests. Why don't they have a drawing and get
it over with. I'll be dead after the first race.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
That's exactly what I told Dorothy. I said it wasn't fair.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
To you and some of the other older men get
out there, and.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
What was that?
Speaker 7 (10:22):
If they want to hand me the prizes, I don't mind,
but I think they ought to give somebody else a chance.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Where's that crack about older man?
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Mister Riddy?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
How will you please keep still holy calm? You and
I at the same age, and you know it? Where
do you get that older man stuff? Jim? You were
forty in February? So what I wasn't forty until May? Great?
(10:51):
And besides, I kept in condition. I haven't got soft
and flabby. Who's soft and flabby?
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Well?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You said, I'm in just as good condition right now
as you were the best day in your life. Where's that? Yes?
That's so? Well? Will you find that out on Sunday?
Won't we? We certainly will, Bud, and I will make
you in that half pint son of yours look like
change from a two dollar bill, won't we? Bud?
Speaker 4 (11:13):
All eye on is three dollars and seventy five surs.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I'll just make a little side bet with you on
every race we enter. That's the deal. Half a buck
of race. You've got it. Well, i'll see you Sunday,
not if I can help it. I'll be so far
ahead you won't see anything but dust. Is that so? Yes?
That's so? Thinks he's so wonderful you and the other
older men. We're going to spend the next two days training,
(11:40):
That's what we're going to do. We'll be in such
wonderful condition.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
He won't know what happened to him, Dad, I can
help you train, Daddy, I don't where I can borrow.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
A stop rot.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Tell me he's younger than I am. I can run
circles around him without even trying. Are you gonna run
in circles him and his radishes? Thinks he's so wonderful
because he's got a few puny rats. Dad, But what's
the matter with you?
Speaker 4 (12:04):
You're standing on my foot.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Our Father's day. Let's hope this time father really does
know best. But ladies, whether or not he overrates himself
as an athlete, there's one thing you can't take away
from the head of the house Father's day and every day,
that man of yours always knows best about truly good coffee. Yes,
your husband is the world's greatest coffee expert. It is true.
(12:42):
People call us experts too. After all, more families buy
our Maxwell House coffee than any other brand. But when
you brew the coffee for your husband, well, he's the
expert with the final say so and tomorrow, if you'll
fill his cup with the heartwarming goodness of Maxwell House coffee,
he'll surely smile and say, now that's really fine coffee. Yes, ma'am,
(13:07):
he'll say that all right. In fact, we'll return your
money if he doesn't. We're that sure he'll enjoy that
famous good to the last drop flavor. You see, the
Maxwell House recipe demands certain extra rich coffees blended just so,
and only Maxwell House has that recipe. No coffee tastes
like Maxwell House because no coffee is made like Maxwell House. Tomorrow,
(13:30):
then poor your husband a cup of wonderfully good Maxwell
House coffee. If he doesn't smile and say best coffee ever,
why just send us the can an unused portion, and
we'll refund your money. Our address is right on every
familiar blue tin. Yes, serve the world's greatest coffee expert
your husband coffee with the world's most famous flavor, our
(13:54):
Maxwell House coffee, always good to the last drop. The
feathers and a ladies fam are not so frail as
mortal man. That may be true, of course, but not
(14:14):
so far as the Anderson's are concerned with a Father's
Day picnic less than twenty four hours away. The Andersons,
father and son are working like little beavers to achieve
a veritable peak of physical perfection, and they spare nothing
in their effort. Like this up to three down up
to three down, hated Dottle. Already okay, Bud, that's enough?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Am I tired?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Tired? Why we're only just beginning? What's next on the list?
Kathy Pussa. All right, Bud, let's try forty or fifty
push ups? Are you ready? Forty or fifty? Holy cow?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Dad, have a heart.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Well we'll try twenty five for a start.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Ready, I suppose?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
So here we go? One? Two? Uh? Oh, Danny k
one two?
Speaker 6 (15:10):
But I want to ask you something.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Hold a second, but what is it? Kathy?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Did the army really make you promise you wouldn't do
setting up exercises?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Well, that's a sort of private agreement I have with
General Eisenhower. He doesn't sell any insurance, and I don't
do any setting up exercise.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Colley, General Eisenhower?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Where did we leave off? Bud?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
I don't know, Dad, But can I please rest for
a while? I'm dead?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
All right, Sam, we'll take it easy for a few minutes.
Oh boy, I don't know what's gotten into this new generation.
Why when I was a boy, I thought nothing of
doing one hundred push ups.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
I don't think much of it myself.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Danny, Yes, baby is lying in a hamm a really
good exercise.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Oh, it's the best. It strengthens the back muscles. Why
once new an Olympic champion and he did all of
his training lying in a hammock. Gosh, Dad, I've got
a great idea. Why don't we strengthen my back muscles?
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Fall five.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
And just the way we are, Bud, Kathy, how would
you like to run into the house like a good
girl and see if your mother has any more ice coffee? Okay, daddy, Yeah,
holy kitten, we're out here. Margaret him I.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Had a dozen eggs in the pantry and they're gone.
Do you know what happened to them?
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I get those eggshells into the garage before your mother.
What the kind of eggs?
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Honey, you know very well what kind of eggs they were,
right on the second shelf and the Bud.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
What are you doing doing? What are you hiding?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Hiding?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Stop gawking at me and say something?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Uh hi, mom, Jim, I'll wait a minute, honey, What
difference do a few eggs make? After all? If we're
going to win the egg Rason?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
My eggs, you've broken every single one of my eggs.
One of them's only cracked a little Mommy a whole
dozen eggs.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
But we've got it down to assistem, Margaret. But and
I can run the egg course in twenty three seconds,
can't we? Kathy? Wait? Sure can?
Speaker 6 (17:23):
Mommy and mister Reddy and Jimmy took thirty one.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Come on, Bud, let's show your mother how we do
it with rod. Oh. Well, as soon as we get
some more eggs, mother, you.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Will do no more practicing with my eggs.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Honey, I'll get you two dozen eggs. I'll get you
a whole chicken. Mother, do you know what that horrible
billy Smith did?
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Daddy, I'm talking to your father.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
It's all right, Margaret. I'm in no hurry.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I'll never speak to that little monster again as long
as I lave.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Dear, I'm sure that whatever it is, But you don't
already did he just called me and broke our date
for to nine.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Well he probably has a very good reason, Jim, he
hasn't any reason at all. What difference does it make
if he is in training.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
He had a date with me.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Wait a minute, Betty, he's in training for what? Father?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
The whole thing is your fault if you haven't started
this silly business with mister Wood.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
You mean he's in training for the picnic.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Everybody's been training for the picnic.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Every man in the whole neighborhood is running around with
an egg on a spoon.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Well, of all the dirty double crossing.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
I don't care if it.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Is Father's Day.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Billy doesn't have any rue.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
We've got to start training. We've got to start. We're
going to show those two timings.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
I haven't done anything but trained for two days.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
That doesn't count. We'll start from the very beginning.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Oh no, Jim, this whole thing is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
It's no such thing. Anytime they think they can put
one over on Jim Anderson, well they've got another thing coming, Bud. Yes, sir,
let's hit the road. What we've had enough setting up
exercises we have. We're going to concentrate on roadwork. We're
gonna run those other guys right off the map.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Danny, you can't.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Why can't I you.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
Promise General Eisenhower?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
But yes, Ed, are you all right? Are sure? Dad?
Speaker 4 (19:26):
I'm fine.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
You don't want to overdo it, you know, after all,
you're that's a boy. You haven't the endurance of the
older man. You uh sure? You wouldn't like to stop
for a while. Guy, No, we've only run about a mile. Yes, okay,
(19:56):
one two feet two fee one two be par one
two b pa.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Broh, how you doing?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Dad? We've got to stop. I can't run another step,
Holy cow, Dad, after only three mile. I wouldn't run
another step if my life depended on it. Okay, good grief,
we don't anymore? Get started? Hello, doing a little roadwork.
(20:32):
Huh ah. This is a life, isn't Jim. I'm a
fresh air in a sunshine. Why don't I feel good?
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I feel I can run another five miles.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
You've run five miles like it was nothing. Well, I
keep going, let's go. But you said I said, let's go. Okay,
one two feet bye bye again. No, I don't want
(21:15):
to stop again. I'd like to run another seventy five
or eighty miles. Well, find me another pair of legs
and I'll be glad to Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
You're not going to give up, now, are you?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
For your information? I gave up an hour ago. I
just didn't have the strength to get the news down
to my feet. Gosh, have to Oh, here comes mister Woody. Well,
there's no man Anderson. Everything under controlled him. Couldn't be better.
That's what I like to hear. Well, she at the picnic,
give one too far? Okay, mister Woody, all right, Bud, bry,
(21:53):
let's go.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
I just can't.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
Let's go on.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I can't, Bargaret. I couldn't get out of bed if
you gave me a million dollars.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
But Jim, this is Father's Day.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I don't care whose day it is. Just let me
lie here in peace. Is it really that bad? Honey?
Right now, I've got three times as many muscles as
anybody else in the world, and every one of them
has a toothache. Poor Bud, Poor Bud, all about me.
(22:50):
I'm the one who's dying.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
But he's been counting on it so well.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I'll make it up to him some way.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Jim, Are you sure you can't make it?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Margaret, I've never been so sure of anything in my life.
I can't even turn my head. As a matter of fact,
I'm not even sure I've got a hit.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
All right, Dear, I'll just have to explain to the children,
that's all.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I'm not worried about the children. Sam wood is the
guy I'm worried about. He'll never let me forget it,
of course he will.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Sam's a very nice man and very broad minded.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Broad minded. He's so narrow minded he can look through
a keyhole with both eyes. That isn't so No, Well,
you just wait ten years from now, he'll still be
talking about the time he ran me out of the picnic.
And if you think, Mom.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Hey Mom, I'm in the bedroom.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Dear Mom, they're making an announcement about the picnic over
the radio.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Oh what we better turn it on.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I'll fix it. Turn it on gently, Bud, and stop
jiggling the floor every time somebody moves, I discover a
new ache. It's a matter, Dad.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Don't you feel well?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
I not only do not feel well, I am slowly disintegrated.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Holy Dad.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Here it comes in the one Father's Day picnic in
the history of Springfield. Now the news most of you
have been waiting to hear. The transportation problem has finally
been solved. A fleet of Bluebird buses has been chartered
by what one moment? Please? Is this on the level?
What do I do?
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Just read it, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I have just been handed an important bulletin which I
should like to read. Due to a mysterious epidemic of
unknown origin. Over one hundred fathers in the Springfield area
have suddenly been confined to their bed as a result
the picnic. Huh oh, ladies and gentlemen. The picnic has
(24:53):
not been canceled, but will instead be known as the
mother and child outing a plate of bluebird hostee Father's
Day Tomorrow or Saturday. When you buy coffee, remember this
(25:29):
In coffee, real value means the most in flavor for
your money. And in all this world there's one coffee
famous above all others for flavor, our Maxwell House coffee.
So take home a pound this weekend. Then let your husband,
the world's greatest coffee expert, enjoy that famous flavor. When
(25:49):
he smiles and says greatest coffee ever, you'll be satisfied
that Maxwell House has the flavor your family likes best.
As for value, well, just count yourself all the truly
good cups of coffee you get from each pound. Yes,
for coffee that gives you your money's worth and more.
Look for America sign of good coffee, the big white cup,
(26:12):
and drop on the friendly blue tin. That's Maxwellhouse coffee,
always good to the last rock. It's dinner time now,
and the Andersons are gathered about the festive board, and
the festive board it is. Indeed, there's a special roast
(26:33):
for Father's Day, chocolate pie with thick whipped cream for
Father's Day, and best of all, a surprise for Father's
Day like this.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
Go on, Mom, tell him bug please, Mother.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
If you don't, we will ddy Really.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
Mummy, If you don't tell him, I'm gonna bird.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Well, all right that, why don't you get it?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Okay Mom, It won't take two seconds, Jim.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Yes, dear, we have a little surprise for you.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
That's nice and we hope very sincerely that you get
a great deal of pleasure out of it.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I know it's a wheelchair.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
They are Dad.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Matched woods. Holleyday, you bought me a set of matched woods.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Well, we didn't exactly buy them, Dear, money won the
ang Ray.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Coffee.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Dear, thank you very much, folks.
Speaker 8 (27:58):
Gainesy, the famous talking dog dog, always says gaines meal.
What about gains meal?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Gains e.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
Nourishes every inch of a dog, It sure does. Kennel
and laboratory pants prove gains meal supplies balanced nourishment your
dog needs for good health. Get gains costs less to
feed than any other type of dog food, so folks
get gains Meal, America's largest selling dog food.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Join us again next week, when we'll be back with
Father Knows Best Darling Robert Young as Jim Anderson, with
Roy Bogey and the Maxwell House Orchestra. In our cast
for June, Whitley as Margaret Ted Donaldson wrote to Williams
and Arma, Geen Nelson, herb Vigrants, Stanley.
Speaker 4 (28:44):
Farrar, and yours truly, Bill Form.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
So until next Thursday, good night and good luck from
the makers of Maxwell House, America's favorite brand of coffee.
Always good till the last drop. Father Knows Best was
transcribed in Hollywood and written by Ed James. Now stay
tuned in for Dragnet, which follows immediately over most of
these stations. Dragnet is the story of your police force
(29:20):
in action. Listen on NBC
Mother.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Maxwell House the best coffee in the herd world.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
Well, your father says so, and your father knows best.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Yes, it's father knows best. Transcribed in Hollywood Starry Robert
Young his father. A half hour visit with your neighbors.
The Anderson brought to you by Maxwell House, the coffee
that's bought and enjoyed by more people than any other
brand of coffee at any price. Maxwell House always good
to the last drop. A father's a pitiful fellow, rauh, beaten, maligned,
(00:50):
and a press.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
But on Sunday his boot will be mellow.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It's the one day when father knows best. That's right, neighbors.
This coming Sunday is Father Day, and in Springfield it's
going to be quite an event. The white frame house
on Maple Street is bustling with activity, and as Jim
Anderson steps through the front door, we can't be quite
certain as to whether or not he approves. But we'll
(01:14):
find out, won't we. Margaret, I'm hey, what's going on here, Jim?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
What are you doing home?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Well? I just thought you aren't.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Supposed to be home until six o'clock.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I know, honey, but there wasn't anything doing at the office.
And I figured, what's going on in the living room
a hog caller's convention.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Why don't you go for a walk or something?
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I don't want to go for a walk.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Why don't you run down to the drugs.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Don't want to run any place. I just want to sit. Now,
will you please tell me why the living room sounds
like a weasel got into the henhouse? Why what is
going on in the living room? Oh well, it's a surprise, honey,
not a gare.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Well, it isn't exactly a surprise. But Jim Anderson, one
way another, you always managed to spoil everything.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
What did I spoil? Now?
Speaker 5 (02:05):
That's the food and refreshment committee for the Father's Day outings,
all right, I.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Didn't wait a minute. There must be a dozen women
in there.
Speaker 6 (02:13):
There are only eight.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
That's the committee for food and refreshments. But the whole
outing was supposed to be for five or six families.
What happened, Well, it grew, honey, I said. I didn't
mind going on a picnic with people like the Hathaways
and the Woodies. But if you think I'm going to
spend Father's Day, how many are they going to be?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
Well? Norman and Harriet Franklin said they weren't sure, and
Jane Overton said she'd.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Have to ask how many people are there going to
be including the children, including everybody's.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Two hundred and twelve.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Two hundred and twelve people's without the Franklins and the
Overton No, it didn't get to be two hundred and twelve.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
Well, Lucilla Hathaway told a few of her friends, and
Dorothy Woody told a few of hers.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
They told a few of theirs.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Then, of course, when we got the boys Club to
join the Boys Club for Father's Day, isn't it wonderful?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
We're making it a father and son's day.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Honey, why don't you just give me a necktie?
Speaker 5 (03:23):
Everyone thinks it's a brilliant idea, and they're talking about
it all over Springfield.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
It's going so well.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
The operation was a success, but the patient died nothing. Honey.
I was just I think I'll go into the den
and lie down.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Oh no, you can't. I what the contest committee's in there?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
The contest committee they have to.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Think of all sorts of stunts and games. It's really quite.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Important stunts and games.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
You're going to have a wonderful time, Dear, I know it.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yes, I'd better go upstairs and lie down for a while.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
That's a good boy. Oh, Jim, don't go into our room.
I turned that over to the Transportation Committee.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yes, dear, I'll be sure not to go into our room.
Father's Day. The best thing they can do with father's
on Father's Day is leave them alone stunts and games. Hi, father,
what are you doing home? That's the second time I've
been asked that what's the unusual about my coming home?
I come home all the time.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Pardon me, I was only trying to be pleasant.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Man comes into his own home and what happens. He
can't get into the den, He can't get into the
living room, He can't get into his own bedroom. You
can't go into bedroom. Father. Now see here, Betty, but
it's all full of hats and coats. Oh so it's
my room.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
That's why I have to study out here.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Well, it could be worse, I guess right now. I
can't think how, but I suppose it could.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Going downstairs, father, No, I'm.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Trying to say a new record for the indoor ski jump.
Tell me, oh, three, am I going downstairs? What did
you think I was doing? Deep sea diving? Am? I
going downstairs, Hi Dad, what are you doing home? I? Well,
(05:19):
never mind one of those these oh their tickets. I see.
You wouldn't care to confide in me a little further,
would you? Huh?
Speaker 4 (05:30):
What are the tickets for the for the picnic?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
You owe six in a corner for the Father's Day picnic. Sure,
I'm being taken to a Father's Day picnic, but I
have to pay six dollars and twenty five cents?
Speaker 4 (05:46):
What four five tickets?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Let me put it in another way. We're taking our
own lunch, right right, there's no charge for the picnic grounds?
Right right? Then? Who gets the six dollar? I wasn't
twenty five cents?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
Didn't I tell you about that?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
It gets split up. I see. Part of it goes
to the boys club and the rest, Uh, the rest
of it goes to the boys. Well that's nice. It's
what I call a very neat arrangement.
Speaker 4 (06:24):
Holy cow, Dad, we had to have some reason for going.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Hi, therry so help me? And she says, one word,
are you doing how I'm going down to the basement?
Speaker 4 (06:36):
You can't add it full of women?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
If your mother they're in the basement too.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
They're practically crawling out of the woodwork.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I don't know. Women can be so wonderful? Why do
there have to be so many of them?
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Are you a good place to hide?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Nobody said anything about hiding. This is as much my
home as it is anyone else's.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
And if they be where in back of the garage,
you can't even hear it out there.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
In other words, you are suggesting that I run away.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Yeah, like a coward.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Well, I was only trying to help kitten.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
You know what Voltaire said, don't you? I do the
coward flees in vain right. But yes, sir, that's what
he said. But on the other hand, I remember another
quotation which says, tis not too late tomorrow to be brave.
Where are you going? Dad? Out and back of the garage? Hello, Jim,
(07:47):
wats a good word? Hello Sam? I'll go the homegrown
radishes and tomatoes. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (07:52):
Yet the bugs haven't left one big enough to eat.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Hello Kelly, But we're hiding, Kathy, Say yeah, I just
came out to get a little fresh air, that's all.
Sure's a beautiful day, isn't it, Sam, House for women? Uh,
they're hanging from the chandeliers.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
Were I didn't see anybody keep cried.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Well, yeah, oh, another joke.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Huh, mister Woody, if you haven't brought your tickets for
the Father's Day picnic, lead mister Woody alone, Bud. But
if he's gonna buy tickets anyway, it's all right, Jim.
If I'm going to be hooked, it might as well be.
But Bud, well, it's a very worthy because mister Woody,
And besides, they're.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Giving away all kinds of junk. I mean prizes.
Speaker 7 (08:42):
Say, Dorothy was telling me about some of those prizes,
and they aren't bad.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
That'll be three seventy five, mister Woodie, second bud prizes for.
Speaker 7 (08:51):
What the various contests, three legged racers, sack races, usual things.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
I wouldn't be caught dead in a sack race or
a three legged race either.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
Missus Pope says they're not gonna have a three legged race.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I thought they were.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Well, missus Thorpe says she doesn't think you'll be enough
people there was three legs.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Well, that's logical for her. Mister Woody, if you'd like
to give me the fee seventy five, now, you know.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Jam, you might change your mind if you saw some
of those prizes. They promoted a sixteen millimeter Cameron projector.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
That's nice promoting.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
They're gonna have a weird Drew race and the prize
is six dozen golf ball.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Mister Woody, if you'd like to give him in it
is she on the level? Sam, that's right. I told
you they'd gone all out, but six dozen golf balls.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
You want to see the prize they've got for the
egg race for her of the most beautiful matched woods
you ever saw.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You're kidding, mister Ruddy. If you'd like a matched woods,
you know, maybe I'm gonna like this picnic after all,
mister Woody, I don't like about it on those cock
eyed contests. Why don't they have a drawing and get
it over with. I'll be dead after the first race.
Speaker 7 (10:07):
That's exactly what I told Dorothy. I said it wasn't fair.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
To you and some of the other older men get
out there, and.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
What was that?
Speaker 7 (10:22):
If they want to hand me the prizes, I don't mind,
but I think they ought to give somebody else a chance.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Where's that crack about older man?
Speaker 4 (10:29):
Mister Riddy?
Speaker 1 (10:30):
How will you please keep still holy calm? You and
I at the same age, and you know it? Where
do you get that older man stuff? Jim? You were
forty in February? So what I wasn't forty until May? Great?
(10:51):
And besides, I kept in condition. I haven't got soft
and flabby. Who's soft and flabby?
Speaker 6 (10:56):
Well?
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You said, I'm in just as good condition right now
as you were the best day in your life. Where's that? Yes?
That's so? Well? Will you find that out on Sunday?
Won't we? We certainly will, Bud, and I will make
you in that half pint son of yours look like
change from a two dollar bill, won't we? Bud?
Speaker 4 (11:13):
All eye on is three dollars and seventy five surs.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I'll just make a little side bet with you on
every race we enter. That's the deal. Half a buck
of race. You've got it. Well, i'll see you Sunday,
not if I can help it. I'll be so far
ahead you won't see anything but dust. Is that so? Yes?
That's so? Thinks he's so wonderful you and the other
older men. We're going to spend the next two days training,
(11:40):
That's what we're going to do. We'll be in such
wonderful condition.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
He won't know what happened to him, Dad, I can
help you train, Daddy, I don't where I can borrow.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
A stop rot.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Tell me he's younger than I am. I can run
circles around him without even trying. Are you gonna run
in circles him and his radishes? Thinks he's so wonderful
because he's got a few puny rats. Dad, But what's
the matter with you?
Speaker 4 (12:04):
You're standing on my foot.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Our Father's day. Let's hope this time father really does
know best. But ladies, whether or not he overrates himself
as an athlete, there's one thing you can't take away
from the head of the house Father's day and every day,
that man of yours always knows best about truly good coffee. Yes,
your husband is the world's greatest coffee expert. It is true.
(12:42):
People call us experts too. After all, more families buy
our Maxwell House coffee than any other brand. But when
you brew the coffee for your husband, well, he's the
expert with the final say so and tomorrow, if you'll
fill his cup with the heartwarming goodness of Maxwell House coffee,
he'll surely smile and say, now that's really fine coffee. Yes, ma'am,
(13:07):
he'll say that all right. In fact, we'll return your
money if he doesn't. We're that sure he'll enjoy that
famous good to the last drop flavor. You see, the
Maxwell House recipe demands certain extra rich coffees blended just so,
and only Maxwell House has that recipe. No coffee tastes
like Maxwell House because no coffee is made like Maxwell House. Tomorrow,
(13:30):
then poor your husband a cup of wonderfully good Maxwell
House coffee. If he doesn't smile and say best coffee ever,
why just send us the can an unused portion, and
we'll refund your money. Our address is right on every
familiar blue tin. Yes, serve the world's greatest coffee expert
your husband coffee with the world's most famous flavor, our
(13:54):
Maxwell House coffee, always good to the last drop. The
feathers and a ladies fam are not so frail as
mortal man. That may be true, of course, but not
(14:14):
so far as the Anderson's are concerned with a Father's
Day picnic less than twenty four hours away. The Andersons,
father and son are working like little beavers to achieve
a veritable peak of physical perfection, and they spare nothing
in their effort. Like this up to three down up
to three down, hated Dottle. Already okay, Bud, that's enough?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Am I tired?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Tired? Why we're only just beginning? What's next on the list?
Kathy Pussa. All right, Bud, let's try forty or fifty
push ups? Are you ready? Forty or fifty? Holy cow?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Dad, have a heart.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Well we'll try twenty five for a start.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Ready, I suppose?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
So here we go? One? Two? Uh? Oh, Danny k
one two?
Speaker 6 (15:10):
But I want to ask you something.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Hold a second, but what is it? Kathy?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Did the army really make you promise you wouldn't do
setting up exercises?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Well, that's a sort of private agreement I have with
General Eisenhower. He doesn't sell any insurance, and I don't
do any setting up exercise.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Colley, General Eisenhower?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Where did we leave off? Bud?
Speaker 4 (15:38):
I don't know, Dad, But can I please rest for
a while? I'm dead?
Speaker 1 (15:42):
All right, Sam, we'll take it easy for a few minutes.
Oh boy, I don't know what's gotten into this new generation.
Why when I was a boy, I thought nothing of
doing one hundred push ups.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
I don't think much of it myself.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Danny, Yes, baby is lying in a hamm a really
good exercise.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Oh, it's the best. It strengthens the back muscles. Why
once new an Olympic champion and he did all of
his training lying in a hammock. Gosh, Dad, I've got
a great idea. Why don't we strengthen my back muscles?
Speaker 4 (16:19):
Fall five.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
And just the way we are, Bud, Kathy, how would
you like to run into the house like a good
girl and see if your mother has any more ice coffee? Okay, daddy, Yeah,
holy kitten, we're out here. Margaret him I.
Speaker 5 (16:34):
Had a dozen eggs in the pantry and they're gone.
Do you know what happened to them?
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I get those eggshells into the garage before your mother.
What the kind of eggs?
Speaker 5 (16:42):
Honey, you know very well what kind of eggs they were,
right on the second shelf and the Bud.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
What are you doing doing? What are you hiding?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Hiding?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Stop gawking at me and say something?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
Uh hi, mom, Jim, I'll wait a minute, honey, What
difference do a few eggs make? After all? If we're
going to win the egg Rason?
Speaker 3 (17:09):
My eggs, you've broken every single one of my eggs.
One of them's only cracked a little Mommy a whole
dozen eggs.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
But we've got it down to assistem, Margaret. But and
I can run the egg course in twenty three seconds,
can't we? Kathy? Wait? Sure can?
Speaker 6 (17:23):
Mommy and mister Reddy and Jimmy took thirty one.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Come on, Bud, let's show your mother how we do
it with rod. Oh. Well, as soon as we get
some more eggs, mother, you.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Will do no more practicing with my eggs.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Honey, I'll get you two dozen eggs. I'll get you
a whole chicken. Mother, do you know what that horrible
billy Smith did?
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Daddy, I'm talking to your father.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
It's all right, Margaret. I'm in no hurry.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
I'll never speak to that little monster again as long
as I lave.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Dear, I'm sure that whatever it is, But you don't
already did he just called me and broke our date
for to nine.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Well he probably has a very good reason, Jim, he
hasn't any reason at all. What difference does it make
if he is in training.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
He had a date with me.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Wait a minute, Betty, he's in training for what? Father?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
The whole thing is your fault if you haven't started
this silly business with mister Wood.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
You mean he's in training for the picnic.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Everybody's been training for the picnic.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Every man in the whole neighborhood is running around with
an egg on a spoon.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Well, of all the dirty double crossing.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
I don't care if it.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Is Father's Day.
Speaker 6 (18:30):
Billy doesn't have any rue.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
We've got to start training. We've got to start. We're
going to show those two timings.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
I haven't done anything but trained for two days.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
That doesn't count. We'll start from the very beginning.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Oh no, Jim, this whole thing is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
It's no such thing. Anytime they think they can put
one over on Jim Anderson, well they've got another thing coming, Bud. Yes, sir,
let's hit the road. What we've had enough setting up
exercises we have. We're going to concentrate on roadwork. We're
gonna run those other guys right off the map.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Danny, you can't.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Why can't I you.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
Promise General Eisenhower?
Speaker 1 (19:22):
But yes, Ed, are you all right? Are sure? Dad?
Speaker 4 (19:26):
I'm fine.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
You don't want to overdo it, you know, after all,
you're that's a boy. You haven't the endurance of the
older man. You uh sure? You wouldn't like to stop
for a while. Guy, No, we've only run about a mile. Yes, okay,
(19:56):
one two feet two fee one two be par one
two b pa.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Broh, how you doing?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Dad? We've got to stop. I can't run another step,
Holy cow, Dad, after only three mile. I wouldn't run
another step if my life depended on it. Okay, good grief,
we don't anymore? Get started? Hello, doing a little roadwork.
(20:32):
Huh ah. This is a life, isn't Jim. I'm a
fresh air in a sunshine. Why don't I feel good?
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I feel I can run another five miles.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
You've run five miles like it was nothing. Well, I
keep going, let's go. But you said I said, let's go. Okay,
one two feet bye bye again. No, I don't want
(21:15):
to stop again. I'd like to run another seventy five
or eighty miles. Well, find me another pair of legs
and I'll be glad to Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
You're not going to give up, now, are you?
Speaker 1 (21:28):
For your information? I gave up an hour ago. I
just didn't have the strength to get the news down
to my feet. Gosh, have to Oh, here comes mister Woody. Well,
there's no man Anderson. Everything under controlled him. Couldn't be better.
That's what I like to hear. Well, she at the picnic,
give one too far? Okay, mister Woody, all right, Bud, bry,
(21:53):
let's go.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
I just can't.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
Let's go on.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I can't, Bargaret. I couldn't get out of bed if
you gave me a million dollars.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
But Jim, this is Father's Day.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I don't care whose day it is. Just let me
lie here in peace. Is it really that bad? Honey?
Right now, I've got three times as many muscles as
anybody else in the world, and every one of them
has a toothache. Poor Bud, Poor Bud, all about me.
(22:50):
I'm the one who's dying.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
But he's been counting on it so well.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
I'll make it up to him some way.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Jim, Are you sure you can't make it?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Margaret, I've never been so sure of anything in my life.
I can't even turn my head. As a matter of fact,
I'm not even sure I've got a hit.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
All right, Dear, I'll just have to explain to the children,
that's all.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I'm not worried about the children. Sam wood is the
guy I'm worried about. He'll never let me forget it,
of course he will.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Sam's a very nice man and very broad minded.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Broad minded. He's so narrow minded he can look through
a keyhole with both eyes. That isn't so No, Well,
you just wait ten years from now, he'll still be
talking about the time he ran me out of the picnic.
And if you think, Mom.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Hey Mom, I'm in the bedroom.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Dear Mom, they're making an announcement about the picnic over
the radio.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Oh what we better turn it on.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I'll fix it. Turn it on gently, Bud, and stop
jiggling the floor every time somebody moves, I discover a
new ache. It's a matter, Dad.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Don't you feel well?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
I not only do not feel well, I am slowly disintegrated.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Holy Dad.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Here it comes in the one Father's Day picnic in
the history of Springfield. Now the news most of you
have been waiting to hear. The transportation problem has finally
been solved. A fleet of Bluebird buses has been chartered
by what one moment? Please? Is this on the level?
What do I do?
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Just read it, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
I have just been handed an important bulletin which I
should like to read. Due to a mysterious epidemic of
unknown origin. Over one hundred fathers in the Springfield area
have suddenly been confined to their bed as a result
the picnic. Huh oh, ladies and gentlemen. The picnic has
(24:53):
not been canceled, but will instead be known as the
mother and child outing a plate of bluebird hostee Father's
Day Tomorrow or Saturday. When you buy coffee, remember this
(25:29):
In coffee, real value means the most in flavor for
your money. And in all this world there's one coffee
famous above all others for flavor, our Maxwell House coffee.
So take home a pound this weekend. Then let your husband,
the world's greatest coffee expert, enjoy that famous flavor. When
(25:49):
he smiles and says greatest coffee ever, you'll be satisfied
that Maxwell House has the flavor your family likes best.
As for value, well, just count yourself all the truly
good cups of coffee you get from each pound. Yes,
for coffee that gives you your money's worth and more.
Look for America sign of good coffee, the big white cup,
(26:12):
and drop on the friendly blue tin. That's Maxwellhouse coffee,
always good to the last rock. It's dinner time now,
and the Andersons are gathered about the festive board, and
the festive board it is. Indeed, there's a special roast
(26:33):
for Father's Day, chocolate pie with thick whipped cream for
Father's Day, and best of all, a surprise for Father's
Day like this.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
