Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, for goodness, story, what's the matter?
Speaker 2 (00:02):
All these short stories without any Indians drive me crazy.
Here's one where a mysterious voice keeps calling this fellow
on the telephone.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
You never do find out who it is.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Oh are you sure you finished the story?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Oh sure, I even turned the page like a big dope.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Oh. Here, read this? You like it. It's a complete
story in one sentence, and every word is true. That's it. Oh,
of course.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
America's finest silver plate is eighteen forty seven Rogers Brothers.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
America's fine as silver plate is eighteen forty seven Rogers
Brothers from Hollywood International Silver Company, creators of eighteen forty
seven Rodyas Brothers. Silver Plate presents the adventures of Ozzy
and Harriet Ring, America's favorite young couple.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Ozzie know Lennon, Harriet Hire.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
I wonder if Ozzie and Harriet have been playing Hide
the Button.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
There they are in the living room.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Harriet opens the desktop, closes it. Ozzie scratches his head.
Harriet opens the big bottom drawer, closes it. Ozzie scratches
his head. Whatever she's looking for, it isn't in there. Oh,
(01:50):
She's headed for the dining room. Ozzie's right behind her.
Now she's searching the china closet.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Not there, huh, seemed to be how about behind the
serving tray.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
It's got to be someplace. Have you looked inside the buffet? No,
not yet. Might just be in here any luck, No darnas.
I wish we could find it.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I'll probably remember where I put it. Thanks very much
for helping me.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Look, no, it's no trouble at all.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
You know what I'm looking for.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I haven't the slightest idea.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I think it might help if you did.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Know well, it might, but don't tell me. I like surprises.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Wait a minute, I think it's starting to come back
to me.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Oh you may as well tell me what did you lose?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Don't interrupt me. The kitchen.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Oh Harry, you haven't gone and lost the kitchen again.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I remember now I was in the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Come on, I'm right behind you. Signal if you're going
to stop suddenly. Still haven't told me what You've lost.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Five dollars and I haven't lost it. See it's right
where I left it.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Wait a minute, you mean this is a regular thing
with you hiding money? In the teapot.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
What's wrong with that? Besides, I don't always put it
in the teapot. Sometimes I use the sugar bowl, or
if they're nice new bills, I sometimes hide them in
the encyclopedia or the dictionary. What are you laughing at all?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
The female conception of money matters is just such an
amazing thing.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
What's wrong with it?
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Hey, it's okay with me, just as long as women
don't go into the banking business.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Who says they aren't, Well.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
It's common knowledge. All the big bankers are men.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Oh, who handles your paycheck every week?
Speaker 6 (03:45):
You do?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
What's that got to do with it? Well?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Look what your big bankers are married to women.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Naturally they're married to women. What other choice has a
man got?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Oh, now, don't give me that masculine superiority stuff. Now,
it's just like my grandmother used to say, if there
are no women in the world, you'd have nobody to
sew the buttons on your pants.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Sure, my grandfather used to say, if there were no
women in the world, we wouldn't have to wear any pants.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I know a wonderful way to stop the discussion solve
my problem. Since manners are good at handling money. Why
don't you take care of my five.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Dollars for me? If you think I'll relieve your mind,
then he.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I'll be glad to okay her yard, Dear, that's a
big burden off my mind.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I can go to sleep knowing my money is in
the capable hands of First National Nelson, the rock of
Rogers Road. We got two dollars. Mister Randolph gave it
to us just for cleaning out his garage.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Let's see it.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
They good for you a dollar apiece.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
What are you going to do with it? Nothing foolish now, I.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Hope no hung in buy ice cream with mine?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I scream a whole dollar's worth.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Oh sure, I like ice cream.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Well, I like ice but you can't eat a whole
dollar's worth. That's kind of silly.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
That's his idea, Papa.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I'd like to put our money together and get a
three dollar baseball.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Well, baseball is certainly a better choice than ice cream.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Especially if you're gonna hit it with a bat.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I mean, if David's on the right track, he figures
on using his money sensibly getting the most out of it.
You take your two dollars and buy a three dollar baseball. Well,
just how do you do that, David?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I was figuring maybe you'd give us the other dollar
get most birds.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Now, wait a minute, boys, it seems to me this
whole family needs a little lesson on the value of money.
You want a three dollar baseball, but all you have
is two dollars. Did it ever occur to you you
might save up for it.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Why don't we borrow from you and pay it back?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
I think you get much more satisfaction out of saving
it first. Now, your mother was faced with a similar
situation a little while ago. She found an excellent solution.
How are you tell the boys about that idea you
came up with.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I'm letting your father take care of my money.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Huh.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
The way you.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Guys say that, you think I make weekly trips to
Mexico with a briefcase.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Gosh, if we want to say it, can't we just
put it in our cigar box?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Cigar box? How safe is that?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Nobody ever took any of the beetles we had in it.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Good money is a different thing. Look at it this way, boys,
I'll be your bank. I'll keep your two dollars, and
from time to time you'll company with more money. Maybe
only nickels and dimes, But your two dollars will grow
pretty soon, you'll have three dollars and four dollars, five
six so on. That doesn't that seem pretty good? Yeah?
Only one thing though?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
How does anybody ever get a baseball?
Speaker 6 (06:47):
All right?
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (06:49):
THARNI?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I want to ask you something purely out of curiosity,
just to confirm a statement I made.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Add If you were a burglar and you just entered
a house, what would be the first thing you'd head for? Well,
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (07:01):
You've been a burglar longer than I have.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Probably the teeth pot, or the sugar bowl or a
cigar box. I just had a little discussion with Harriet
about the silly places women hide their money. That may be.
Speaker 8 (07:15):
As for myself, I've got the best place in.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
The world to hide money. Oh where's that?
Speaker 7 (07:20):
Promise?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Not to tell? Of course, I promise a cross your heart?
All I cross my heart? Where do you hide your
money in my wife's purse? You consider that a safe place? Absolutely?
You think it's burglar proof.
Speaker 8 (07:34):
Well, I've never been able to get anything out of it.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Maybe Catherine's different. I seem to be the only one
with any sense of financial responsibility at our house. See,
Harriet and the boys gave me seven dollars just a
little while ago. What for, Well, I'm their bank, so
to speak. See I'm holding onto their money for it.
See that's an idea.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Maybe you can help me.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
What's on your mind?
Speaker 8 (07:55):
Well, you see, I've got ten dollars that's been burning
a hole in my pocket. I've been keeping it to
buy Catherine a body present.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
You want me to take care of it for you?
Speaker 8 (08:02):
Would you mind I otherwise? I know dom, Well, when
Catherine's birthday comes, the money be gone.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
When is her birthday? Well it's not very far off.
Speaker 8 (08:09):
But frankly, I'm not so good at holding out of money.
When is her birthday tomorrow?
Speaker 5 (08:16):
You are oz? I sure do appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Oh I'm glad. Say wait a minute, where did you
get this ten dollars? You didn't hold out on Catherine
because I don't want any hot money in my bank.
Speaker 8 (08:25):
It certainly not us, As I said, all the money
goes right into Catherine's purse.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
This little fellow just wouldn't get in there.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
You've changed clothes, Yes, I.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Just felt like a dark blue pin stripe today. Oh
didn I tell you Thorny gave me ten dollars to
keep for him. That makes seventeen altogether.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
You're becoming quite the banker.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Oh, I'll see who it is.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
On mister Nelson.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Oh hello, Edgar, I'm clacking for the paper.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Mister Nelson A dollar thirty.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
All right, sir, I think we have the necessary assets
to finalize this transaction. What's that that's bank talk? Edgar?
M hmm, I sworn I put in, I guess I
put in my Let's see, holy smokes. Had lost my
(09:29):
money because.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
A man's down the street and he never pays me.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
I had changed suits. I remember taking the money out
of the pocket of the other trousers, and here my coat.
The strangest thing I ever heard of.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
The man's down the street never pays me.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
What his wife does?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
He looks through these pockets again.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
His wife says she gives him the money, but he
spends it. Sometimes he makes believes he lost it.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Took the money out of the other pants.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Could I speak to missus Nelson's please.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
Put them on the chair, Edgar.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
There's no need of dragging missus Nelson. Could you come
back tomorrow please, Edgar, If you please come back tomorrow.
I promise you, I'll give you your money. No, Edgar, come
back tomorrow. Missus Nelson's busy. Edgar, get your foot out
of the door and I'll come back tomorrow. That's a
good boy.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Goodbye, Edgar.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Downstairs, I went in the dining.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
What are you looking for?
Speaker 9 (10:28):
No, Harry, what are you looking for?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Have you seen my little gold collar pin?
Speaker 10 (10:36):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
You have it on? Oh, oh, so I do.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Now what are you looking for?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Have you seen that pair of black shoelaces I bought
the other day?
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yes, they're upstairs on your.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Brown shoes.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Are going just out of the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
What the world are you looking for?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I'm just looking, that's all. Looking is a wonderful way
to find things. You see, even if you're not looking
for anything in particular, sooner or later you'll find something.
For instance, if I were looking for money, which of
course is ridiculous, but if I were looking for money, yeah,
i'd look in here, take off the lid, put in
my hand. Oh Azi, fine thing. You put your hand
(11:19):
in the teapot and get money.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
I get hot tea.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Hey, aren't you glad you don't have your money in
the Nelson National Bank?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Sure?

Speaker 4 (14:12):
In the living room of eighteen forty seven, Rogers wrote,
the search goes.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
On, not under there maybe the Devin for Hi Papo
bo boys. Uh, did you guys want something special?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Well, yeah, pap remember today we gave you our money
to keep for us.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Well, of course I remember, and I hope you guys
realize the responsibility I've assumed handling your money is quite
a load. Well we well, you tell him.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Ricky, we'd like to unload you.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
We like our money back.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Now, please, boys, sit down on the couch for a minute.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Pop, please, Pap, don't talk us out of it.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
There's soon was baseballs.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
For two dollars now we we don't have to wait.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Uh just a minute, fellows. Now, let's be sensible about this.
As an investor, you have every right to ask for
your money. I simply want to point out a few things. Now,
believe me, I have no intentions of keeping your money.
If you really want it, can't we have it?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
No?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Look at it this way.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Why don't you draw on my experience with shrewd management
on my part, it's very possible you can double your money,
even triple it. Perhaps we can make a few investments
and quadruple it, make.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
A lot of money.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Why don't we buy our baseball today? Then maybe some
other time we can make a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Boys, I may as well tell the truth. After all,
is my investors, I owe it to you. The reason
I don't want you to withdraw your money is because
you buy that baseball, won't you?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
That was our idea?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Well, after all, i'm your father. Why can't I buy
you a baseball? In fact, I've been considering it for
some time now. Who geeppot that swell thought. That is satisfied.
You see, I'm not trying to hold your money back.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
As long as we got our baseball.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Now we can spend our money for a bath.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
I wish you wouldn't, David. I'm buying you a bat too.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Oh boy, now you can buy catchers there no, no, no,
let me buy you a catchers? Me do we have?
Speaker 7 (16:19):
Boy?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
This is better Christmas wring the alarm. Somebody they're robbing
the bank could have been kicked out of the bookcase.
I guess gotta be someplace.
Speaker 8 (16:44):
Come on in, Barney, Well, hello man, Nick bye, nice fella,
nice dog os Where are you?
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Nice dog?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Barney stopped patting me on the head.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
Why I didn't recognize you? Down an all ball, I wondered?
Speaker 8 (17:00):
Why Nick was all dressed up though.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Anything specially you want, Tharney, I'm pretty busy for those
This is only take a second oz. I'd like to
have my money back, Tharney, sit down. I want to
have a talk with you.
Speaker 8 (17:12):
I can't dos is a guy waiting on my punts
with the cold pat oh, let him wait, but I
can't do. It's Catherine's birthday friend, Please doz?
Speaker 3 (17:20):
I mean, how now as I understand this, Thorny, you're
hinting you want your money back, comanas the guy's waiting thorney.
Look at it this way. Your bank isn't merely to
deposit money and then snatch it right back again. Why
don't you also take advantage of my friendly counsel and
(17:40):
advice on money matters?
Speaker 6 (17:42):
Now?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
How long ago did you order this package? About an
hour ago? An hour ago? And they're sending it out already? Boy?
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Are they sure?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Are anxious to.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
Get rid of it?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Probably jump they can't move off the shelves. And I
see how lucky you are. You came to me for
my financial advices. Please you just better think it over, Thorny,
come back tomorrow. Still want your ten dollars? I'll be
very happy to get chus.
Speaker 9 (18:04):
Will you please give me my money before the guy
goes away?
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Now, Thorny, just a second, though, what's mine? Gosh, Thorny,
old man, old pal. I'd like to give it to you,
but you know regulations want regulations. I want my money, Sorny,
Tony wait, sorry, Thorny. All banks close at three o'clock.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
What is it, David?
Speaker 3 (18:44):
We want to let you in on something that's nice.
What is it?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Well, just goo to Pop and tell them you want
your money back, and boy, you get all sorts of things.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
We're right out of limb.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
First we sat down more boys. I'm afraid you've been
taking advantage of your father's misfortune.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Now I'm going to let you in on something.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
It'll have to be awful good to be better than ours.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Well, your father's a very capable man. He's always careful
with money, and he probably had a good reason for
leaving in the middle of the living room floor. I'm
playing a little trick on him.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
You mean you've got our money?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Well, I don't have it, but I know where it is.
I don't tell now. I hit it in the telephone book.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
Are you playing a joke on Pop?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
That's the idea, Ricky. Tonight at dinner.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
We'll all laugh about it, will Pop laugh?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
We may not hear it, but deep down inside of
him he'll be rory.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Yes, Hello, I got your new phone books for you.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Oh fine, thanks, there's a hitch to the dal law.
Speaker 7 (19:56):
You've got to give me your old one.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Oh sure, yes, a second, I'll be right back.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
You just hung a little too well.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
Here you are. Oh okay, I got it. Hey, you're
not a bad doodler. You've got some pretty good stuff
here on the coach.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
I just draw those little pictures while I'm talking.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
Any numbers on the cover here you want to copy
before I take this?
Speaker 3 (20:21):
No, no, I don't think so.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
Just you didn't leave anything.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
In the books. Oh no, no, there's just a couple
of doodles here and there, but you're welcome to them.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
You'd be surprised the things some people even phone books.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
You know.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
My partner Steve.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
Found two football tickets last year, found a phone number
on the cover too. He called her up and took
her to the game.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Well, see about next.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
Aug it's along.
Speaker 9 (20:42):
Goodbye your doodles, Harriet, Harriet, I have a surprise for you.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Look, brand new phone books books.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
What about the old one?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Old one? Well, the men took them away right now.
They're being chopped into little pieces. Then they go into
the incinerator. It's a matter. What are you so excited about.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Oh this is terrible. I was trying to play a
silly little trick on you and I did a ridiculous thing.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Don't say anything more. Let me tell you. You found
the seventeen dollars I lost, and you put it in
the phone book.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Yes, dear, how did you know?
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Because that's where I found it.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
You found it?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Well, cards I found it. I suppose you think I'm
so dumb that I don't know what goes on around here.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
Suppose you thought I was going to get worried.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
I knew you picked up the money, and I knew you.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Put it in the phone book.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
How did you know?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Well, I found it in there while I was looking
up the number of a loan company.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I guess you went there. That's the last time I'll
ever try to fool my husband.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Too smart for me. I wouldn't have found it if
you hadn't filed it so cleverly, putting it there on
the page with the finance companies connecting finance and money.
That's pretty smart.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Oh, no, you're mistaken. I didn't put it in the
classified book. I put it in the green book under
Doe John Doe.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Well you couldn't have it was in the yellow book.
I've got the money right here. See seventeen dollars A
ten A five of twenty and three one seventeen dollars.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
No, thirty eight dollars? Who put that in there?
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Oh, Harriet, stop it.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
It's so obvious you're playing one of your little jokes
on me.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Honestly, I'm not. My little joke is not being chopped
up in the little pieces.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Yeah, holy smokes, and we're out seventeen dollars.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
No, we're in twenty one dollars.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Oh yeah, keep your voice down, Harriet. This is miraculous.
Money is springing up from nowhere.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Well, there's only one possible explanation. At some time or
another one of us put thirty eight dollars in the
phone book forgot.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
About it, But that seems so unlikely. I've got it.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Hello, is this mister Nelson of eighteen forty seven Rogers Roll, Yes,
I looked up your number. I'm the phone picked up
your phone books today.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Oh, I'm glad you called.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Did you find it, mister Nelson?
Speaker 7 (23:17):
Yeah, we found it.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
I knew you should look through those books, the Harriet,
they found our seventeen dollars. Well, I certainly appreciate your Honestly,
I got to.
Speaker 7 (23:26):
Write here, mister Nelson. The ten two five fall ones
in the twenty forty. We'll mail it out here.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
I guess you'll be able to sleep now sleep well,
the money is just starting to come in.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
We found our seventeen dollars.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
No, they found our forty four dollars. The seventeen dollars
hasn't shown up yet.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Oh ah, so this is ridiculous. There must be some
sensible explanation.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
That's ale.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
We don't have time to think of one.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Get your code before where we going?
Speaker 5 (23:53):
I have to buy all the.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Phone books we can find. We're going into the banking business.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Ozzie and Harriet will be back in just a minute.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Say, I guess there must be money in telephone books.
Maybe I better look through mine.
Speaker 10 (24:18):
Well, I've been keeping my extra pennies in a tea pot,
just the way Harriet did. Yes, But tomorrow morning, first thing,
they're going right down Rogers Road to mister Jonathan's silverware store.
I'm going to turn them into extra open stock pieces
for my set of eighteen forty seven Rochers Brothers.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Hey, isn't that something?
Speaker 6 (24:33):
Though?
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Open stock pieces of eighteen forty seven.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Rogers Brothers are again available for the first time in
eight years, And what I.
Speaker 10 (24:40):
Want is that new eighteen forty seven Rogers Brother's completing
set with those eight butter spreaders, eight ice drinkspoons, and
eight oyster forks.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Oh, that's a wonderful set.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
And it comes in all for eighteen forty seven Rogers
Brothers patterns too, and it costs only twenty six dollars.
But of course you don't have to stop there. You
know you can get all the other extra open stock
pieces you want, and at nineteen forty one prices too.
Speaker 10 (25:05):
Mister Smith, do you suppose every woman who owns eighteen
forty seven has heard about this wonderful news.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Well let's tell them again. Attention everybody. You can now
get open stock pieces of eighteen forty seven Rogers Brothers
in all.
Speaker 10 (25:18):
Four lovely eighteen forty seven patterns for.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
The first time in eight years.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
That's eighteen forty seven Rogers Brothers the finest silver plate
in America.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
All right, are you awake?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Of course I'm awake, so am I Have you tried
counting sheets?
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Oh, I've counted hundreds of them, little green ones, then
the little yellow classifieds. Finally figured out where the money
came from.
Speaker 12 (25:57):
Well please tell me, Well, it's really so simple, see
there was thirty eight dollars in one book, forty four
in the other book.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
That makes eighty two dollars. There was originally only seventeen dollars.
That's a difference of sixty five dollars. And here's what happened.
David and Ricky got sixty five dollars and played a
little trick on us. It was all a joke.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Well, this is exactly what happened, OZI, Harriet.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I know the question that leads into your mind. Where
did David and Ricky get sixty five dollars?
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Don't ask it.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
It's four o'clock and we've got to get some sleep.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
You mean to say, we're revein to say good night
without explaining all this money.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Don't be so naive. Don't you ever listen to the radio.
Nothing under twenty five thousand dollars needs any explanation. This
is a happy ending. It's not can goods and things.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I hate to say this, dear, but I'm a little
disappointed in you.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
You mean to say you want everything that happens to
us completely explained and solid. Yes, don't be so corny.
We're living in a modern age, the age of the
unfinished short story. You said so yourself, But I.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Don't like those. They leave it hanging in the air.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
I like to turn the page and find an ending there.
I like everything explain.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Okay, I'll explain where the money came from, is Hee.
David and Ricky wanted their money back to buy a baseball,
so when I found it in the phone book, I
gave it to them. But they changed their minds and
saw something else in the store they liked better, and
they bought that instead.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
How does that explain the money?
Speaker 3 (27:47):
I'm afraid our son David has inherited a peculiar artistic talent,
especially pictures of Lincoln and Washington. Probably got it from
some member of your family you've never even told me about. Anyway,
the printing press goes back tomorrow morning.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Marvelous.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
You see they bought the printing press. They made counterfeit money.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Ozzie, Yes, I'm sorry. I turned the page, going in.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Again next week to another adventer of Ozzie and Harriet,
starring Ozzie Nelson and Harriet.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Here yours, and remember, America's Spinus silver plate is eighteen
forty seven Rogers brother.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Yes, Harriet, America's Finus silver plate is eighteen forty.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
Seven Rogers brothers. Appearing in support of Ozzie.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
And Harriet were John Brown, Tommy Bernard, Henry Blair, Hans Conried,
and Alan Reid Junior.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
The original music was composed and conducted by Billy May.
You know you've got to hand it to the doctors.
They've taken on the toughest opposition. They could find heart
disease America's number one.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Cause of death, and they need your help books to
carry on their research and other efforts to combat heart disease.
So contribute all you can to the American Heart Association,
Box five hundred, New York City.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
This is Burnsmith speaking. This is NBC, the National Broadcasting Company.
Oh, for goodness, story, what's the matter?
Speaker 2 (00:02):
All these short stories without any Indians drive me crazy.
Here's one where a mysterious voice keeps calling this fellow
on the telephone.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
You never do find out who it is.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Oh are you sure you finished the story?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Oh sure, I even turned the page like a big dope.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Oh. Here, read this? You like it. It's a complete
story in one sentence, and every word is true. That's it. Oh,
of course.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
America's finest silver plate is eighteen forty seven Rogers Brothers.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
America's fine as silver plate is eighteen forty seven Rogers
Brothers from Hollywood International Silver Company, creators of eighteen forty
seven Rodyas Brothers. Silver Plate presents the adventures of Ozzy
and Harriet Ring, America's favorite young couple.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Ozzie know Lennon, Harriet Hire.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
I wonder if Ozzie and Harriet have been playing Hide
the Button.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
There they are in the living room.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Harriet opens the desktop, closes it. Ozzie scratches his head.
Harriet opens the big bottom drawer, closes it. Ozzie scratches
his head. Whatever she's looking for, it isn't in there. Oh,
(01:50):
She's headed for the dining room. Ozzie's right behind her.
Now she's searching the china closet.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Not there, huh, seemed to be how about behind the
serving tray.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
No, I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
It's got to be someplace. Have you looked inside the buffet? No,
not yet. Might just be in here any luck, No darnas.
I wish we could find it.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
I'll probably remember where I put it. Thanks very much
for helping me.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Look, no, it's no trouble at all.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
You know what I'm looking for.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I haven't the slightest idea.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I think it might help if you did.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Know well, it might, but don't tell me. I like surprises.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Wait a minute, I think it's starting to come back
to me.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Oh you may as well tell me what did you lose?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Don't interrupt me. The kitchen.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Oh Harry, you haven't gone and lost the kitchen again.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I remember now I was in the kitchen.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Come on, I'm right behind you. Signal if you're going
to stop suddenly. Still haven't told me what You've lost.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Five dollars and I haven't lost it. See it's right
where I left it.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Wait a minute, you mean this is a regular thing
with you hiding money? In the teapot.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
What's wrong with that? Besides, I don't always put it
in the teapot. Sometimes I use the sugar bowl, or
if they're nice new bills, I sometimes hide them in
the encyclopedia or the dictionary. What are you laughing at all?
Speaker 3 (03:25):
The female conception of money matters is just such an
amazing thing.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
What's wrong with it?
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Hey, it's okay with me, just as long as women
don't go into the banking business.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Who says they aren't, Well.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
It's common knowledge. All the big bankers are men.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Oh, who handles your paycheck every week?
Speaker 6 (03:45):
You do?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
What's that got to do with it? Well?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Look what your big bankers are married to women.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Naturally they're married to women. What other choice has a
man got?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Oh, now, don't give me that masculine superiority stuff. Now,
it's just like my grandmother used to say, if there
are no women in the world, you'd have nobody to
sew the buttons on your pants.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Sure, my grandfather used to say, if there were no
women in the world, we wouldn't have to wear any pants.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I know a wonderful way to stop the discussion solve
my problem. Since manners are good at handling money. Why
don't you take care of my five.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Dollars for me? If you think I'll relieve your mind,
then he.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I'll be glad to okay her yard, Dear, that's a
big burden off my mind.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I can go to sleep knowing my money is in
the capable hands of First National Nelson, the rock of
Rogers Road. We got two dollars. Mister Randolph gave it
to us just for cleaning out his garage.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Let's see it.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
They good for you a dollar apiece.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
What are you going to do with it? Nothing foolish now, I.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Hope no hung in buy ice cream with mine?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
I scream a whole dollar's worth.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Oh sure, I like ice cream.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Well, I like ice but you can't eat a whole
dollar's worth. That's kind of silly.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
That's his idea, Papa.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I'd like to put our money together and get a
three dollar baseball.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Well, baseball is certainly a better choice than ice cream.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Especially if you're gonna hit it with a bat.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I mean, if David's on the right track, he figures
on using his money sensibly getting the most out of it.
You take your two dollars and buy a three dollar baseball. Well,
just how do you do that, David?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I was figuring maybe you'd give us the other dollar
get most birds.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Now, wait a minute, boys, it seems to me this
whole family needs a little lesson on the value of money.
You want a three dollar baseball, but all you have
is two dollars. Did it ever occur to you you
might save up for it.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Why don't we borrow from you and pay it back?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
I think you get much more satisfaction out of saving
it first. Now, your mother was faced with a similar
situation a little while ago. She found an excellent solution.
How are you tell the boys about that idea you
came up with.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I'm letting your father take care of my money.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Huh.
Speaker 7 (06:01):
The way you.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Guys say that, you think I make weekly trips to
Mexico with a briefcase.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Gosh, if we want to say it, can't we just
put it in our cigar box?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Cigar box? How safe is that?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Nobody ever took any of the beetles we had in it.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Good money is a different thing. Look at it this way, boys,
I'll be your bank. I'll keep your two dollars, and
from time to time you'll company with more money. Maybe
only nickels and dimes, But your two dollars will grow
pretty soon, you'll have three dollars and four dollars, five
six so on. That doesn't that seem pretty good? Yeah?
Only one thing though?
Speaker 2 (06:38):
How does anybody ever get a baseball?
Speaker 6 (06:47):
All right?
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (06:49):
THARNI?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I want to ask you something purely out of curiosity,
just to confirm a statement I made.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Add If you were a burglar and you just entered
a house, what would be the first thing you'd head for? Well,
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (07:01):
You've been a burglar longer than I have.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Probably the teeth pot, or the sugar bowl or a
cigar box. I just had a little discussion with Harriet
about the silly places women hide their money. That may be.
Speaker 8 (07:15):
As for myself, I've got the best place in.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
The world to hide money. Oh where's that?
Speaker 7 (07:20):
Promise?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Not to tell? Of course, I promise a cross your heart?
All I cross my heart? Where do you hide your
money in my wife's purse? You consider that a safe place? Absolutely?
You think it's burglar proof.
Speaker 8 (07:34):
Well, I've never been able to get anything out of it.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Maybe Catherine's different. I seem to be the only one
with any sense of financial responsibility at our house. See,
Harriet and the boys gave me seven dollars just a
little while ago. What for, Well, I'm their bank, so
to speak. See I'm holding onto their money for it.
See that's an idea.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
Maybe you can help me.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
What's on your mind?
Speaker 8 (07:55):
Well, you see, I've got ten dollars that's been burning
a hole in my pocket. I've been keeping it to
buy Catherine a body present.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
You want me to take care of it for you?
Speaker 8 (08:02):
Would you mind I otherwise? I know dom, Well, when
Catherine's birthday comes, the money be gone.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
When is her birthday? Well it's not very far off.
Speaker 8 (08:09):
But frankly, I'm not so good at holding out of money.
When is her birthday tomorrow?
Speaker 5 (08:16):
You are oz? I sure do appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Oh I'm glad. Say wait a minute, where did you
get this ten dollars? You didn't hold out on Catherine
because I don't want any hot money in my bank.
Speaker 8 (08:25):
It certainly not us, As I said, all the money
goes right into Catherine's purse.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
This little fellow just wouldn't get in there.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
You've changed clothes, Yes, I.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Just felt like a dark blue pin stripe today. Oh
didn I tell you Thorny gave me ten dollars to
keep for him. That makes seventeen altogether.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
You're becoming quite the banker.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Oh, I'll see who it is.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
On mister Nelson.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Oh hello, Edgar, I'm clacking for the paper.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Mister Nelson A dollar thirty.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
All right, sir, I think we have the necessary assets
to finalize this transaction. What's that that's bank talk? Edgar?
M hmm, I sworn I put in, I guess I
put in my Let's see, holy smokes. Had lost my
(09:29):
money because.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
A man's down the street and he never pays me.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
I had changed suits. I remember taking the money out
of the pocket of the other trousers, and here my coat.
The strangest thing I ever heard of.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
The man's down the street never pays me.
Speaker 6 (09:43):
What his wife does?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
He looks through these pockets again.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
His wife says she gives him the money, but he
spends it. Sometimes he makes believes he lost it.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Took the money out of the other pants.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Could I speak to missus Nelson's please.
Speaker 7 (09:58):
Put them on the chair, Edgar.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
There's no need of dragging missus Nelson. Could you come
back tomorrow please, Edgar, If you please come back tomorrow.
I promise you, I'll give you your money. No, Edgar, come
back tomorrow. Missus Nelson's busy. Edgar, get your foot out
of the door and I'll come back tomorrow. That's a
good boy.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
Goodbye, Edgar.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Downstairs, I went in the dining.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
What are you looking for?
Speaker 9 (10:28):
No, Harry, what are you looking for?
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Have you seen my little gold collar pin?
Speaker 10 (10:36):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
You have it on? Oh, oh, so I do.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Now what are you looking for?

Brown shoes.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Are going just out of the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
What the world are you looking for?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I'm just looking, that's all. Looking is a wonderful way
to find things. You see, even if you're not looking
for anything in particular, sooner or later you'll find something.
For instance, if I were looking for money, which of
course is ridiculous, but if I were looking for money, yeah,
i'd look in here, take off the lid, put in
my hand. Oh Azi, fine thing. You put your hand
(11:19):
in the teapot and get money.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
I get hot tea.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Hey, aren't you glad you don't have your money in
the Nelson National Bank?

Speaker 3 (14:31):
Well, of course I remember, and I hope you guys
realize the responsibility I've assumed handling your money is quite
a load. Well we well, you tell him.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Ricky, we'd like to unload you.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
We like our money back.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Now, please, boys, sit down on the couch for a minute.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Pop, please, Pap, don't talk us out of it.
Speaker 6 (14:57):
There's soon was baseballs.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
For two dollars now we we don't have to wait.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Uh just a minute, fellows. Now, let's be sensible about this.
As an investor, you have every right to ask for
your money. I simply want to point out a few things. Now,
believe me, I have no intentions of keeping your money.
If you really want it, can't we have it?
Speaker 2 (15:15):
No?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
Look at it this way.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Why don't you draw on my experience with shrewd management
on my part, it's very possible you can double your money,
even triple it. Perhaps we can make a few investments
and quadruple it, make.
Speaker 6 (15:31):
A lot of money.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Why don't we buy our baseball today? Then maybe some
other time we can make a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Boys, I may as well tell the truth. After all,
is my investors, I owe it to you. The reason
I don't want you to withdraw your money is because
you buy that baseball, won't you?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
That was our idea?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Well, after all, i'm your father. Why can't I buy
you a baseball? In fact, I've been considering it for
some time now. Who geeppot that swell thought. That is satisfied.
You see, I'm not trying to hold your money back.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
As long as we got our baseball.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Now we can spend our money for a bath.
Speaker 3 (16:10):
I wish you wouldn't, David. I'm buying you a bat too.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Oh boy, now you can buy catchers there no, no, no,
let me buy you a catchers? Me do we have?
Speaker 7 (16:19):
Boy?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
This is better Christmas wring the alarm. Somebody they're robbing
the bank could have been kicked out of the bookcase.
I guess gotta be someplace.
Speaker 8 (16:44):
Come on in, Barney, Well, hello man, Nick bye, nice fella,
nice dog os Where are you?
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Nice dog?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Barney stopped patting me on the head.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
Why I didn't recognize you? Down an all ball, I wondered?
Speaker 8 (17:00):
Why Nick was all dressed up though.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Anything specially you want, Tharney, I'm pretty busy for those
This is only take a second oz. I'd like to
have my money back, Tharney, sit down. I want to
have a talk with you.
Speaker 8 (17:12):
I can't dos is a guy waiting on my punts
with the cold pat oh, let him wait, but I
can't do. It's Catherine's birthday friend, Please doz?
Speaker 3 (17:20):
I mean, how now as I understand this, Thorny, you're
hinting you want your money back, comanas the guy's waiting thorney.
Look at it this way. Your bank isn't merely to
deposit money and then snatch it right back again. Why
don't you also take advantage of my friendly counsel and
(17:40):
advice on money matters?
Speaker 6 (17:42):
Now?
Speaker 3 (17:43):
How long ago did you order this package? About an
hour ago? An hour ago? And they're sending it out already? Boy?
Speaker 6 (17:50):
Are they sure?
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Are anxious to.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
Get rid of it?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Probably jump they can't move off the shelves. And I
see how lucky you are. You came to me for
my financial advices. Please you just better think it over, Thorny,
come back tomorrow. Still want your ten dollars? I'll be
very happy to get chus.
Speaker 9 (18:04):
Will you please give me my money before the guy
goes away?
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Now, Thorny, just a second, though, what's mine? Gosh, Thorny,
old man, old pal. I'd like to give it to you,
but you know regulations want regulations. I want my money, Sorny,
Tony wait, sorry, Thorny. All banks close at three o'clock.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
What is it, David?
Speaker 3 (18:44):
We want to let you in on something that's nice.
What is it?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Well, just goo to Pop and tell them you want
your money back, and boy, you get all sorts of things.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
We're right out of limb.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
First we sat down more boys. I'm afraid you've been
taking advantage of your father's misfortune.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Now I'm going to let you in on something.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
It'll have to be awful good to be better than ours.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Well, your father's a very capable man. He's always careful
with money, and he probably had a good reason for
leaving in the middle of the living room floor. I'm
playing a little trick on him.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
You mean you've got our money?
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Well, I don't have it, but I know where it is.
I don't tell now. I hit it in the telephone book.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
Are you playing a joke on Pop?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
That's the idea, Ricky. Tonight at dinner.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
We'll all laugh about it, will Pop laugh?
Speaker 2 (19:34):
We may not hear it, but deep down inside of
him he'll be rory.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
Yes, Hello, I got your new phone books for you.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Oh fine, thanks, there's a hitch to the dal law.
Speaker 7 (19:56):
You've got to give me your old one.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Oh sure, yes, a second, I'll be right back.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
You just hung a little too well.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
Here you are. Oh okay, I got it. Hey, you're
not a bad doodler. You've got some pretty good stuff
here on the coach.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
I just draw those little pictures while I'm talking.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
Any numbers on the cover here you want to copy
before I take this?
Speaker 3 (20:21):
No, no, I don't think so.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
Just you didn't leave anything.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
In the books. Oh no, no, there's just a couple
of doodles here and there, but you're welcome to them.
Speaker 7 (20:29):
You'd be surprised the things some people even phone books.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
You know.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
My partner Steve.
Speaker 7 (20:32):
Found two football tickets last year, found a phone number
on the cover too. He called her up and took
her to the game.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Well, see about next.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
Aug it's along.
Speaker 9 (20:42):
Goodbye your doodles, Harriet, Harriet, I have a surprise for you.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Look, brand new phone books books.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
What about the old one?
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Old one? Well, the men took them away right now.
They're being chopped into little pieces. Then they go into
the incinerator. It's a matter. What are you so excited about.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Oh this is terrible. I was trying to play a
silly little trick on you and I did a ridiculous thing.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
Don't say anything more. Let me tell you. You found
the seventeen dollars I lost, and you put it in
the phone book.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Yes, dear, how did you know?
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Because that's where I found it.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
You found it?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Well, cards I found it. I suppose you think I'm
so dumb that I don't know what goes on around here.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
Suppose you thought I was going to get worried.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
I knew you picked up the money, and I knew you.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
Put it in the phone book.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
How did you know?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Well, I found it in there while I was looking
up the number of a loan company.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
I guess you went there. That's the last time I'll
ever try to fool my husband.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Too smart for me. I wouldn't have found it if
you hadn't filed it so cleverly, putting it there on
the page with the finance companies connecting finance and money.
That's pretty smart.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Oh, no, you're mistaken. I didn't put it in the
classified book. I put it in the green book under
Doe John Doe.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Well you couldn't have it was in the yellow book.
I've got the money right here. See seventeen dollars A
ten A five of twenty and three one seventeen dollars.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
No, thirty eight dollars? Who put that in there?
Speaker 5 (22:35):
Oh, Harriet, stop it.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
It's so obvious you're playing one of your little jokes
on me.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Honestly, I'm not. My little joke is not being chopped
up in the little pieces.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Yeah, holy smokes, and we're out seventeen dollars.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
No, we're in twenty one dollars.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Oh yeah, keep your voice down, Harriet. This is miraculous.
Money is springing up from nowhere.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Well, there's only one possible explanation. At some time or
another one of us put thirty eight dollars in the
phone book forgot.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
About it, But that seems so unlikely. I've got it.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Hello, is this mister Nelson of eighteen forty seven Rogers Roll, Yes,
I looked up your number. I'm the phone picked up
your phone books today.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Oh, I'm glad you called.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Did you find it, mister Nelson?
Speaker 7 (23:17):
Yeah, we found it.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
I knew you should look through those books, the Harriet,
they found our seventeen dollars. Well, I certainly appreciate your Honestly,
I got to.
Speaker 7 (23:26):
Write here, mister Nelson. The ten two five fall ones
in the twenty forty. We'll mail it out here.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
I guess you'll be able to sleep now sleep well,
the money is just starting to come in.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
We found our seventeen dollars.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
No, they found our forty four dollars. The seventeen dollars
hasn't shown up yet.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Oh ah, so this is ridiculous. There must be some
sensible explanation.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
That's ale.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
We don't have time to think of one.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Get your code before where we going?
Speaker 5 (23:53):
I have to buy all the.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Phone books we can find. We're going into the banking business.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Ozzie and Harriet will be back in just a minute.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Say, I guess there must be money in telephone books.
Maybe I better look through mine.
Speaker 10 (24:18):
Well, I've been keeping my extra pennies in a tea pot,
just the way Harriet did. Yes, But tomorrow morning, first thing,
they're going right down Rogers Road to mister Jonathan's silverware store.
I'm going to turn them into extra open stock pieces
for my set of eighteen forty seven Rochers Brothers.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Hey, isn't that something?
Speaker 6 (24:33):
Though?
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Open stock pieces of eighteen forty seven.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Rogers Brothers are again available for the first time in
eight years, And what I.
Speaker 10 (24:40):
Want is that new eighteen forty seven Rogers Brother's completing
set with those eight butter spreaders, eight ice drinkspoons, and
eight oyster forks.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Oh, that's a wonderful set.
Speaker 4 (24:50):
And it comes in all for eighteen forty seven Rogers
Brothers patterns too, and it costs only twenty six dollars.
But of course you don't have to stop there. You
know you can get all the other extra open stock
pieces you want, and at nineteen forty one prices too.
Speaker 10 (25:05):
Mister Smith, do you suppose every woman who owns eighteen
forty seven has heard about this wonderful news.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Well let's tell them again. Attention everybody. You can now
get open stock pieces of eighteen forty seven Rogers Brothers
in all.
Speaker 10 (25:18):
Four lovely eighteen forty seven patterns for.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
The first time in eight years.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
That's eighteen forty seven Rogers Brothers the finest silver plate
in America.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
All right, are you awake?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Of course I'm awake, so am I Have you tried
counting sheets?
Speaker 3 (25:46):
Oh, I've counted hundreds of them, little green ones, then
the little yellow classifieds. Finally figured out where the money
came from.
Speaker 12 (25:57):
Well please tell me, Well, it's really so simple, see
there was thirty eight dollars in one book, forty four
in the other book.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
That makes eighty two dollars. There was originally only seventeen dollars.
That's a difference of sixty five dollars. And here's what happened.
David and Ricky got sixty five dollars and played a
little trick on us. It was all a joke.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Well, this is exactly what happened, OZI, Harriet.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I know the question that leads into your mind. Where
did David and Ricky get sixty five dollars?
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Don't ask it.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
It's four o'clock and we've got to get some sleep.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
You mean to say, we're revein to say good night
without explaining all this money.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Don't be so naive. Don't you ever listen to the radio.
Nothing under twenty five thousand dollars needs any explanation. This
is a happy ending. It's not can goods and things.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I hate to say this, dear, but I'm a little
disappointed in you.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
You mean to say you want everything that happens to
us completely explained and solid. Yes, don't be so corny.
We're living in a modern age, the age of the
unfinished short story. You said so yourself, But I.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Don't like those. They leave it hanging in the air.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
I like to turn the page and find an ending there.
I like everything explain.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Okay, I'll explain where the money came from, is Hee.
David and Ricky wanted their money back to buy a baseball,
so when I found it in the phone book, I
gave it to them. But they changed their minds and
saw something else in the store they liked better, and
they bought that instead.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
How does that explain the money?
Speaker 3 (27:47):
I'm afraid our son David has inherited a peculiar artistic talent,
especially pictures of Lincoln and Washington. Probably got it from
some member of your family you've never even told me about. Anyway,
the printing press goes back tomorrow morning.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Marvelous.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
You see they bought the printing press. They made counterfeit money.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Ozzie, Yes, I'm sorry. I turned the page, going in.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Again next week to another adventer of Ozzie and Harriet,
starring Ozzie Nelson and Harriet.

They've taken on the toughest opposition. They could find heart
disease America's number one.

Cause of death, and they need your help books to
carry on their research and other efforts to combat heart disease.
