Speaker 1 (00:08):
Tumble and paper may tend bring you fibber, McGhee and
money trans tracts. The show was written by Bill Leslie
and Ralph had Been and directed by Mack Puddle. Fiver
and Money. We'll be with you in a minute.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
This is Don Wilson.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Do you know why toms are called the don't wait
relief for acid indigestion? The hell it's simple. With tombs
on hand, you don't have to wait even a minute
for say, pleasant relief. There's nothing to make you don't
even need water. Yes, toms go right to work, give
you top speed relief whenever some favorite food, smoking or
over indulgence causes heartburn, sour stomach, or that unpleasant gassy fullness.

(00:54):
Toms are so pleasant, minty tasting, just like candy. Here's
something else, really important. Tombs are not water soluble, so
they never overalkalize the stomach, never cause acid rebounds. That's
another reason why millions of smart Americans always keep tombs handy,
always carry them, and pocket a purse for a record

(01:15):
fast safe relief whenever or wherever acid indigestion strikes. So
don't wait.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
Get thumbs today.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
They're still only ten cents a roll.

Speaker 5 (01:38):
Are we driving for this Christmas tree? How much will
it cost?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
It?

Speaker 4 (01:40):
About half what the guy asks for it. I drive
a hard bargain, you know that. And then some raised
lumber jerks. Don't put anything over on me. You don't,
I'm true.

Speaker 5 (01:50):
Where are we going?

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Right around the cornet here? Same place we went last year?
And I got a ten buck three for three fifty.
All it took was little sod.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Story O.

Speaker 4 (01:59):
That guy's name again?

Speaker 5 (02:00):
You remember Marvin Christmas Tree? Marvin?

Speaker 4 (02:03):
He saw him?

Speaker 5 (02:03):
Oh no, the way you had your arm around him
during that transaction, I thought he was at least your cousin.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
Oh I got a good deal out of him, didn't I? Boy, boy,
I don't know. He did a man a living the
way I chizzled him down. Oh here's the place. Wow,
look at them beautiful trees too.

Speaker 5 (02:21):
I'll wait in the car again. These big transactions always
embarrass me.

Speaker 4 (02:26):
Nothing to get embarrassed about. It's just business. When he
says ten bucks, you don't expect to get ten, expects
to get seven. That's why I gotta say three so
I can get it. Provided. You really ought to learn
about driving a.

Speaker 5 (02:38):
Bargain on a common I'll wait in the car.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
Okay, it won't take long. This guy's easier to chisel
than a bar soap. I'll call you when I get
the price settled and you can take your pick. That's
fun of buying the trees, beating these guys down.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, here, you're looking for a Christmas cree.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
No, no, I'm a bird collector.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Sigh.

Speaker 4 (02:56):
I thought i'd time a few of these trees and
see if there's any birds nest cars. I'm looking for
a Christmas tree.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Good.

Speaker 4 (03:02):
Well, I don't want a clerk. I want to deal
with the owner. Marvin. His name is kind of a sweet,
kind of looking old pigeon or a gent.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Oh you must mean Marvin Myers. Ah here here anymore?

Speaker 4 (03:13):
He's selling razor blade. Now, Oh jee, that's too bad.
What happened?

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Oh too soft hearted?

Speaker 3 (03:18):
Marvin was Oh sucker.

Speaker 2 (03:19):
For a sob story. He'll be chisler that came along
and took advantage of him.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Oh well, well, I'm sorry to hear about old Mark.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
But we really got the trees here this year.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Mister.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Just click over this row here, take your pick up
anything in this row for only ten bucks.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
Ten bucks.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Some of those trees are over three feet tall. You
look him over. I'll go some of these others.

Speaker 4 (03:38):
Oh, he's right after the poorhouse. Ten bucks for a
three foot tree. Come on, Molly, let's leave the car
here and walk down this way. There's a lot of
lots along here. He didn't buy a tree, Marvin sold out.
That was the new owner. Remind me to check the
post office tomorrow. And yet post office, what part if

(03:58):
that guy's face ain't up there on the wall with
a reward form an automy of all the bare faced burglers?
Or going across the street.

Speaker 5 (04:05):
Oh, that looks like a knife lot. What does the
sign say.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Bruce's spruces a tree to fit every pocket.

Speaker 5 (04:12):
Well, let's not stop here. We don't want to tree
we can put in our pocket.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Oh that's not what it means mine. Hey, look at
them prices.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Oh, all trees thirty cents a foot.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Say that is a bargain. I won't have to chisel
on this guy. You know, a ten foot tree for
three bucks. Huh. These prices are better than old Marvin's
were last year. Oh and look they're beautiful trees too, Yes,
they are man beautiful. Glad you like them. She didn't
mean to say that, but that's not fair.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
They are a knife, though, sir, take your pick, ma'am,
thirty cents a foot.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
I'm the kind of a guy that appreciates an honest deal.
But if I can't do any better, I'll tell you
what I'm gonna do with you. I'm not even gonna
chisel you down. I'm just gonna pick out a tree
and pay your price. Thirty cents a foot. That's the
way we like it deals.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
Here, here's a beauty magige. How tall is that, sir?

Speaker 4 (04:55):
About ten feet by hees? I say it's ten feet all.
We'll wrap it up bus ten foot three thirty cents
foot three dollars.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Right, Well, that's the way most lots sell them by height,
but we do it a little differently.

Speaker 4 (05:07):
We sell by the branches, by the branches. This beautiful
tree is, say, oh, twenty branches on it. Average branch
say four feet long. That's eighty feet of branches. Thirty
cents of foot comes to twenty four dollars. Oh my,
twenty four dollars. Twenty four bucks for that beetle bit
and bassil saw meal bait. Why that lopsided droop limb

(05:28):
collects and chewed up pine cones ain't worth twenty four
cents on me gina docket broken down, bang up bull
legged balsam ain't fit to start a fire with. Why
look at the trunk on us. I lived out of
a better looking tunk piles and vaude them made out
of straw. And then limbs. I saw prettier looking limbs under.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
A plaid skirt on the sidet and the stutch guards.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
Bah.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
But I don't understand from this that he doesn't want
the tree man.

Speaker 5 (05:51):
Yes, I'm afraid they're barking up the wrong spruce.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Spruce.

Speaker 5 (05:55):
Come on here, let's go.

every pens.

We'll say good night to Fibber and Molly in the
moment time is slipping away. There are only two days
left in which to buy that kitchen radio to place
under your Christmas tree. Just imagine a pleasure that will
light the eyes of your homemaker this Friday morning. When
you present her with a radio especially for her kitchen,
she'll know that you appreciate the three to four hours

(12:36):
every day that she spends cooking, washing dishes, or doing
the many other chores in your kitchen. With a radio
in the kitchen, the world will be at her fingertips
when she sets the dial to the NBC Radio network.
There's wonderful music, drama, news, and comedy to make the
time pass swiftly and to brighten an otherwise dull day
when the radio is your companion. So tomorrow, for sure

(12:57):
look over the marvelous variety of gaily colored radio me
just to blend with the decor of your kitchen, and
you'll also find that the clock radio is available at
your favorite store, can be helpful in turning on and
off electrical appliances. Make this an especially bright and merry
Christmas with a present that will bring pleasure all year long.
Give a radio for the kitchen to your wife or
mother on Christmas Day.

Speaker 5 (13:27):
It is a beautiful trainmgee. We'll set it right here
by the front window. I called doctor Gamble and asked
him to come over tomorrow night to help us decorate it. Okay,

Oh well, have him bring a step ladder too. Mine's busted. Okay,
good night, Good night, though.

McGhee and Molly program transcribe, but Natalie left us as
texts and Jack Moyles as hermit on wall, inviting you
