evening, Friends, good evening.This is gel King Kaine, Welcome to
Avalon Time featuring radio's Redheaded raghum Upand Richard red Skelton with Dick todd Edna
stillwell but Hercules vandover the Avalon Torusand Bob Strong his orchestra opening the program.
Where that's one hundred to one friends, why needlessly spend three to five

(02:46):
cents extra on every pack of cigaretteyou buy? Switch to Avalons and save
yourself that money. Avalanche costs threeto five cents less per pack than other
popular price brands. And make nomistake about a friend that repeated saving adds
up to ten or fifteen dollars beforeyou realize it. But bear this in

(03:07):
mind. Without knowing the price,you'd never guess Avalons cost you less.
They're union made and guaranteed highest quality. Surely a cigarette that offers such distinct
advantages is worth a trial. Sothe next time, try avalons and save
the difference. And now, ladiesand gentlemen, with only nineteen days to

a Christmas present. Oh you've beendoing your Christmas shopping already, I'll say.

was so crowded. When I scratchedmy back, three girls slapped my face.
I thought it was my back.Boy, what crowds. Everybody's buying,

(04:15):
buying, buying. Nobody's paying,but everybody's buying. Day if you
get to see Santa Claus while theywere chopping, Yeah, and they're picketing
them, Oh they are. Theywant him to join the sleigh Driver's Union.
But I finally got a post andI said on his lap and he
says, well, my little man, what do you want for Christmas?
