Speaker 1 (00:00):
Harriet. Yeah, do you realize how many good books we
have here that we never even look at?
Speaker 2 (00:05):
I suppose there's not a lot of good reading in magazines.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Though these days.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Oh, sure you read the right magazine.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
Here's some worth while reading right here. The Solid Silver
with Beauty that Lives Forever is International Sterling.
Speaker 5 (00:20):
By the Solid Silver with Beauty that Lists Forever is
(00:41):
International Sterling from Hollywood International Silver Company, Creaters of International Sterling,
present the amusing transcribed Adventures of Ozzy and Harriet, starring
America's favorite young couple, Ozzy No Lennon Harriet hit Youers.
(01:17):
Once upon a time there were three bears, and once
upon a time.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
There were four Nelson's.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
There still are, in fact, the butt eighteen forty seven,
Rogers wrote the Nelsons, that is, their names are Ozzie, Harriet,
David and Ricky. At this very moment, Ozzie the Pampa
bear Nelson is rummaging through the big bookcase in the
living room.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yes, sir, man is a confused animal. What did you say, oh,
Harriet's I didn't hear you committed the room?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Does the book salesman finally go.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, he left a few pamphas with me, he's a
very interesting fellow, you know, alert, alert, as what go
to the dangers of modern living and that kind of thing.
We're moving awful fast. You know, man is a confused animal,
doesn't know.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
How to think anymore.
Speaker 7 (02:01):
How about women?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Same thing? We rushed through life missing half the best things. Prinstance,
Look at all the good books we have here, and
I'm not even familiar with the titles of Heaven. Here's
what I haven't even seen before. What's that this book?
The Romance of Dirt?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Where'd we get this vacuum cleaner?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
See? In the old days, people took time to reflect,
they'd go out under a tree and think things over,
had more intellectual curiosity. Nowadays, I said before, man is
a confused animal.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I thought the salesman said that.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Well he did, but it's very expressive. What kind of
reading do we get these days? Look at the kids, movies,
comic books, radio, now television. Now one of they're confused.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Oh the picture, see it was swalled, specially when the old.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Name got sad.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Oh, Ricky, get up off the floor. How about when the.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Mother drinks the poison? Well, now, what kind of a
picture was that?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
It was really swell?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
A lot of murders. Oh wait a minute, boys, Look,
I have no objection to you're going to moving pictures,
but can't you pick out something else beside this bloodthirsty
junk people getting murdered, taking poison. Where the trash day right?
Speaker 8 (03:25):
Nowadays?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
What was the name of the picture, David Hamlet?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Well, as I say, I have no objections, you're going
to the movies, but I don't want you to lose
sight of the fact that we have a lot of
wonderful books here at home, just as interesting as any movie.
Every one of these books is a fascinating story of
some sort. Get something out of everyone, Harry, Just pick
any book out it ran, Let me read a passage,
any book at all.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Here you are, Dick, no.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Always empty dust bag after you. Some days you just
can't win, Hia Tharnie, Oh hi, have you been keeping
yourself all day? I've just been browsing through a few books.
(04:24):
You know, we don't do enough of that these days. Well,
that's exactly the way I feel. Thorny's a dangerous age
reliving in Not like the old age. A man had
more intellectual curiosity in those days. He learned things for himself.
But nowadays he's a confused animal. He came to your
house too. You know there's a lot in what he said, though, Thornie.
(04:52):
Things are different now, especially for the kids, so they
don't get the good old fashioned, solid stuff that we
used to read. Write his rain You remember Moby Dick,
David Copperfield, Ivanhoe, the poems of Byron Keats Shelley delightful.
Now the kids don't know what that means. Nowdays are
(05:12):
so busy with comic books and shows and radio and everything.
See how well I remember lying in bed late at
night with the light on under the covers reading Treasure Island.
Really that was my favorite book. Really, the Rover Boys
a Treasure Island. No, no, no, no, no, I don't
mean the Rover Boys. I mean just playing Treasure Island. Oh, anyway,
(05:36):
the Rover Boys never went to Treasure Isle. Oh you're wrong.
On the father was lost there. Remember he was looking
for a treasure. No, no, no, Tony, that was Uncle Randolph.
And it wasn't Treasure Island. It was African. I remember
they found a strange letter from the old Sea captain.
Oh wait a minute, as you were all mixed up,
Uncle Randolph was back in New York State putting the
squeeze on Josiah Crabtree. After the scobble about Sam Baxter.
(05:57):
You mean Dan Baxter, the son of Arnold backs to
the town scoundough. Okay, but it was Arnold who guned
up the Treasure Island expertise. They never went to Treasure Island, Thorney.
And even if they did, Arnold Baxter couldn't possibly have
gummed it up. He was in jail at the time. Jail.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Now wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
He got six months for trying to boil fun loving
Dick in hot tar. Fun loving Dick. That shows how
much you know us Sam. Sam was the fun loving rover.
Dick was the elder rover in cage of the widow
Stanhope's beautiful daughter Dora. Well maybe you're right about that,
but they never went to Treasure Island.
Speaker 9 (06:34):
It was Africa. Treasure Island, Africa, Treasure Island, Africa.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Tradera. And here's the juvenile section, Harrid. Are you sure
they have the rover boy? Oh yeah, I phoned the
librarian under an assumed name.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And see Standish Studdard thumbs and where right up on
the top shelf see Arthur M.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
Winfield.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Gee, they've got them all the rover boys on the river,
in the mountains, on land and sea.
Speaker 10 (07:27):
At Treasure Island where.
Speaker 8 (07:35):
Gee, I don't think I can reach up that for you.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Better get a stool. I'll be right back.
Speaker 8 (07:43):
Stool or chair maybe. Oh yeah, pardon me? You're not
reading this big book at you?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I like to borrow.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
Yeah. Oh that's really heavy.
Speaker 10 (08:00):
H yeah, now you needed another book to climb up
on that one?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (08:10):
Steading me know it?
Speaker 7 (08:13):

Speaker 1 (08:14):

this unabridged encyclopedia.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Or whatever it is.
Speaker 8 (08:24):
Boy, this is heavy. H. Excuse me?
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Excuse me?
Speaker 7 (08:32):

Speaker 1 (08:34):
Didn't h? Yes, you're miss Kaiser Ricky's mathematics teacher.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
No, so I'm Miss.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Fraser david Ley's teacher. Yes, this is a pleasant surprise.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
He didn't off, And we need one of the fathers
at the library.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Well, I just came down here to settle a little
friendly discussion with my neighbor, mister Thornberry.
Speaker 7 (08:59):
About three Henry Parkinson.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Sir Henry Parkinson. Yes, she's History of the Peloponnesian Wars.
The book you have there, well.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I know you're just like the other.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Am I.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
You're a little ashamed of yourself, aren't you?
Speaker 6 (09:19):
Well why should you be?
Speaker 8 (09:21):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
You know how it is, miss Fraser.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
If you have an honest intellectual curiosity, you should be
proud of it.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
Nolighing, you're obviously interested in Greek.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
History not admitted.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
No, No, it's not exactly that. As I said, mister.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Thornberry and I had a little.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Discussion, and I came down here to dual research.
Speaker 7 (09:40):
Of course you wanted to brush up a little. Matter
of fact, I have to remit I'm a wee bit rusty.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
On the Peloponnesian Wars myself.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
How long since you read it?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Well, it's hard to say that you have an openness
since college, probably longer than that.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Well, the important thing is that you still have big interests.
That's what true intellectual curiosity gives us. Mister Nelson, the
hungry mind.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
Now that you'll old there, how are you, miss Fraser?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Just tie, missus Nelson, I was just complimenting your husband
on his intellectual curiosity.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Harriet, I think we'd better be running along now. We
have some errands to do.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Mind, you want to take the book out?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
No, I have it right here.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
You see what the.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Peloponnesian Wars. You know, the book Thorny and I were discussing,
Sir Henry Parker house parking parking lot.
Speaker 10 (10:39):
Well, goodbye, miss Fraser, Goodbyemus Fraser. There's no doubt about it.
The man is a confused animal.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
M Listen to this, Harriet. The causes of the Peloponnesian
Wars are understandably complex in that Patdare, a Dorian town
on the western promontory of Thrace, was induced to revolt
with the support of the Macedonian king Perdicas, formerly an
Athenian alle. Yeah, what does it mean? I haven't the
(11:21):
faintest idea.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Where does he get fast.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Book as a library, David? It's a book on Greek history.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
That's the sickest book I've ever saw.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Well, it covers a lot of territories. It's all about
the Peloponnesian Wars. That size well, it includes a lot
of the history of the times.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Of course, what are you going to start reading it?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Oh? I don't know. There's no hurry. It's a one
hundred and twenty day book.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Hello, yes, oh, hell Misphraser.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
You know after I got home this afternoon. There was
something I should have.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
You seem to have such an active interest in.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
Worthwhilely, Oh, well, be sketch with a BDA.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Discussion tomorrow night at the schools.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
On proper books for school children.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I thought you might like to appear on the panel.
Speaker 8 (12:11):
Up.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Well, i'd be delighted, Miss Fraser. I'm going to talk
about Yes, yes, Miss Fraser, that would be just fine.
I elementary. Well, it's not exactly my specialty, like Sir Henry.
(12:32):
I know.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
That's why we had the subject change.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
What was that We're going to discuss the Teleponnesian Wars.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
I don't think I got that last quite clearly.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I said we're going to discuss the Teleponnesian Wars.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
When I told them you're especially into Citic Greek history.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
They would be here of anything else. Uh, Miss Fraser,
I think this would be a good time to let
you in on a little joke.
Speaker 8 (13:01):
You know.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
When you were fast knowledge of this.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
It's going to be an exciting evening, especially when you
chase me out of the auditorium. Oh, we won't feel
bad if you outshine this. No, no, you don't understand.
I understand that.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Mother seems to be overcome by fer will expect you
to school tomorrow night at eight thirties?
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Good one, is it?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Nelson?
Speaker 10 (13:27):
What's the matter?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Dear? You look like you can hit by a rock.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Pardon where are you going?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I think I'll go up to my room and have
a good cry.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Hey, what had Arlie Nelson got involved into this time?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (13:54):
I sure don't envy him standing up there in front
of the PTA giving a speech about the early Greeks
and the Peloponnesian Wars.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Gush.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Now, if they wanted a few words about the subject
of international sterling, why I'd be glad to contribute. I'd
get right up and I'd say, did you know that
the international sterling pattern of your choice, in the same
substantial weight and the same superb quality costs no more
today than it did in nineteen forty four? Did you
know that the prices of beautiful international sterling.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
Haven't gone up one penny in five years?
Speaker 5 (14:27):
And did you know you can save about twenty dollars
by getting eight play settings in any.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
One of several lovely international.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Sterling patterns rather than some other sterling. That's eight play settings,
eight each of knives forks, teaspoons, salad forks, soup spoons,
and butter spreaders. Remember this is International Sterling, the loveliest
solid silver.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
In the world, so see it tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
It's the solid silver with beauty that lives forever, famous
International Sterling. Well, it's only twenty six hours until the
(15:12):
showdown in the school library.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
The Neunting household.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
It is tense with expectancy as its hero marshals his forces.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
To meet the challenge. The clock has just struck six thirty.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I can read fifty pages an hour. If the book
is say, five hundred pages, it's finished in ten hours.
How many pages in the book can you see there?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Thirty two hundred and ninety six.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Well, there's probably less than that, if if you don't
count all the footnotes, and if you skip the descriptive
passages and get right to the dialogously second life. I
can read as fast as seventy.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
Five pages in hour. That cuts it down. It's seventy
five and one hundred and nineties one in four.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Carry time out for dinner. Six.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
How's it figure out?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
According to these calculations, I'll be finished sometime next Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
The clock strikes eight. Ozzie's knowledge hungry mind is eagerly
devouring the text of.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
The great book.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
How are you doing?
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Oh? Not too bad, Harriet CARSI goes a little slowly
at first, until you get into it.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
It's strange there aren't more people.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Interested in this type of thing.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
What do you mean?
Speaker 8 (16:46):
Well?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I noticed the last time this book was borrowed was
December nineteen ten.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Are you only on page eight? My goodness, the discussion.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Is tomorrow night. Are you doing pop?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Oh, that's pretty good, David, I'm on page eight.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
If you can read pop.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
There's a lot of meat in this stuff once you
get into the interesting part here. Just listen to this.
It reads almost like modern fiction. After Herodotus had resided
for some seven or eight years in Samos, events occurred
in his native city which induced him to return thither.
(17:32):
The tyranny of the tyranny of the tyranny of this
fell hair had gone from bad to worse, and at
last he was expelled. See how stuff like that? You
(17:53):
just can't put the book down.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I can't even take it up.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Still wonderful reading.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I look right here.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
The city of Epidamus stands at the right of the
entrance of the Ionic Gulf.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
I'll answer Mom, I'll go with you.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Oh, Harry, where you're going wait for me.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I don't want to hear any more either.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
You might as well stay here. Won't hurt you to
listen to some of this. The place is a colony
from Corserra, founded by Thalius, the son of Iraticlides, who
had been summoned for the purpose from the mother country.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Tom, Yes, isn't it time for me to go to bed?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
You'll just listen carefully.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
You might find this very very interesting. Out of the way, Ricky,
what's that?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Then?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
The library brought this over in a jeeps.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
What in the world is it?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
The History of the Peloponnesian Wars by Sir Henry Parkinson.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Well, well that's the book I've got here.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
No, dear, you've just got volume one.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
This is volume two, Volume two. We shouldn't have tried
to carry that by yourself. Herry, that's too heavy. Why
didn't you let David help you?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
David, he's got his hands full of volume three and four.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Oh they're pretty good?
Speaker 8 (19:37):
Oh, good for you?
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Page twenty seven already.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, but I got a lucky break. I just had
fifteen pages of maps and so the Spartans sent to
Athens no formal declaration of war, but rather sought to
create some specious Cassius Harriet, would you mind answering the
(20:06):
door belly, intending to inflame the existing hostilities against Pericles
and Athens by implicating him in the curse pronounced, Oh, Thorny,
(20:28):
what are you doing over here? Said old Thornberry? Didn't
come prepare? We got a bone up us? Burn the
midnight oil?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
How do I put him?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
What have you got there? What have I got? Great thing?
Pulling me in on that discussion tomorrow night. It's gonna
be fun, though. Cleaned off the shelves down the library,
all eight of them, eight of what the rober boys
rover boys, I'm sure. Ms Fraser called and asked if
I'd like to sit in, and she said the discussion
was about the rover boys. Sure, whoa excuse me.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Your Thorny. Can you remember exactly what Miss Fraser said
to you.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
On the phone?
Speaker 8 (21:02):
Why?
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (21:02):
She said, OZ was conducting a discussion on the rover Boys.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Let's see.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Well, maybe she doesn't exactly say rover boys, but she
said the book I was discussing with mister Nelson.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
This afternoon.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
What else could it be?
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Doorney?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Maybe you better sit down.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
What's some other Ozzie you? Telly? Margo, make some coffee, Berney.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Old gray headed friend. I don't have gray hair, you will, Thorney.
What do you know about the Peloponnesian wars? I have
the layman's knowledge, absolutely nothing. What's that got to do
(21:45):
with the rover boys? The discussion tomorrow night is about
the Peloponnesian wars? Oz How can anybody say Peloponnesian into
one phone and have it come out of the other phone? Boys, Dorny,
you're just getting panicky. All we have to do is
read through these four fascinating volumes.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
Here's volume two.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Just prop your feet up on volume three. The unsatisfactory
(22:26):
character of the Athenian Pelophnesian coalious skim Thorny. Forget the
fine prints. It's all fine print. What have you got there?
On Calikratidus Oh born in volume two, died in volume four.
(22:55):
The Peloponnesian commanders encouraged their men after this fish and
the fourth year of the war, of which Thucidides was
(23:16):
the historian. Oh, very nice, well.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Very interesting.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Yeah, once you get into it, it's not bad? What
was right along? If you push hot, it's a matter
of Harry, I think you're a couple of phonies. Well, Harriet,
how can you say a thing like that? Ask us
anything reasonable about the Peloponnesian Wars and we'll give you
the answer like that?
Speaker 7 (23:36):
Okay, who won?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
That's not a reasonable question. She's got a point there,
Os we better look it up. They might hit us
with it tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Wait a minute, would you stand by for an important
announcement like what miss Fraser phones? The discussion has been
called off?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Called off? Oh what a disappoint It's not awful, Barney.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Do you think if I coaxed hard enough I could
talk you into going to the Biju.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
There's a very good picture.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
I'll get my code ours, Oz, think what you're doing
if we leave this room? We are deserters. Where's your
intellectual curiosity?
Speaker 4 (24:15):
You don't want to go to the movies? You'd rather
stay here?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Of course I would.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
I happen to love literature.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I have no desire to go to the Beju tonight.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
It's a very good picture, Thorney.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I know I've seen it. I'll look at this wonderful
reading material.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Oz can you leave this, think.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Of the adventures that lie between these companies. Thorney's right, Harriet,
I'm afraid my hunger for this good reading is a
little stronger.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Are you serious, Well, of course I am.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Shall we begin, Thorney?
Speaker 7 (24:45):
We shall?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
You can read the Rover Boys on land and see
I'll take the Rover Boys in the Mountain.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
Ozzie, are you.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Just coming to bed?
Speaker 8 (25:03):
Yes, Harry, go back to sleep. What time is it?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
It's pretty late, darned Thorny.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
I couldn't get it to.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Go home, Ozzie.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Look at the clock.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
It's a quarter to size darn clock with its luminous face.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Ozzy know from the idea of reading the Rover Boys
until almost five in the morning.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Well, it was my fault. I wanted to quit at
four o'clock. But Thorny is such a big kid. But
we settled the argument as to which one is the
fun loving Rover.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Please tell me so I.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Can go to sleep with a clear mind.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Well remember Thorny said Sam was and I said Dick was.
Thorny was wrong, It was Tom.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Okay, Now do you please go to sleep?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Who could that be?
Speaker 8 (25:51):
Hello, Thorny?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
What do you want?
Speaker 6 (25:56):
Would you put Harriet on.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I want her to.
Speaker 8 (25:59):
Talk to my wife.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
What's the matter, Thorny? I keep telling her over and over,
but somehow she just won't believe I was up all
night with the Rover Boys.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
My damn Harriet will be back in just a moment.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Gosh, let it be stated right here that I Burne Smith,
on the occasion of my next visit to.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
The library, will have nothing.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Whatsoever to do with Sir Henry Parkinson in his.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
History of the Peloponnesian Wars. And that goes for the
Rover Boys too.
Speaker 7 (26:45):
Well, how about a Life magazine? Would you look at that?
Speaker 10 (26:49):
Well?
Speaker 5 (26:49):
I will if there's a picture of what I think
there is in it, like in this week's issue International
Sterling's beautiful wild.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Rose pattern right right, and that's just over to me
you at a minute, I.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Saw, Oh, that's not surprising either, because there's something about
International Sterling's wild rose pattern that seems to hold every
bit of romance and enchantment, all the loveliness a girl
has ever known.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
And even the.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Picture will show you what an exquisitely created design wild
rose is. Fragile, stilken wild rose petals caught and hell
forever on a.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
Gleaming silver shaft. Wild Rose is truly a.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Bride's pattern, with grace and delicacy in every line.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
I know, and I'm going to be a bride next street.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Goodyfi could be more a person.
Speaker 11 (27:34):
Me was my very own International Sterling in the wild
Rose patterns.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
That's the kind of a love story that never grows old.
International Sterling, It's just made for brides, for all women
who want their homes with to be homes of loveliness,
of dignity and shining pride. And don't forget that International
Sterling patterns are still the same superb quality, the same
substantial weight, and the same wonderful price as in nineteen
(28:00):
forty four.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
That's why so many.

Harriet. Yeah, do you realize how many good books we

Speaker 2 (00:05):
I suppose there's not a lot of good reading in magazines.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Though these days.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Oh, sure you read the right magazine.
Speaker 4 (00:13):
Here's some worth while reading right here. The Solid Silver

(01:17):
Once upon a time there were three bears, and once
upon a time.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
There were four Nelson's.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
There still are, in fact, the butt eighteen forty seven,
Rogers wrote the Nelsons, that is, their names are Ozzie, Harriet,
David and Ricky. At this very moment, Ozzie the Pampa
bear Nelson is rummaging through the big bookcase in the
living room.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yes, sir, man is a confused animal. What did you say, oh,
Harriet's I didn't hear you committed the room?
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Does the book salesman finally go.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, he left a few pamphas with me, he's a
very interesting fellow, you know, alert, alert, as what go
to the dangers of modern living and that kind of thing.
We're moving awful fast. You know, man is a confused animal,
doesn't know.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
How to think anymore.
Speaker 7 (02:01):
How about women?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Same thing? We rushed through life missing half the best things. Prinstance,
Look at all the good books we have here, and
I'm not even familiar with the titles of Heaven. Here's
what I haven't even seen before. What's that this book?
The Romance of Dirt?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Where'd we get this vacuum cleaner?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
See? In the old days, people took time to reflect,
they'd go out under a tree and think things over,
had more intellectual curiosity. Nowadays, I said before, man is
a confused animal.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I thought the salesman said that.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Well he did, but it's very expressive. What kind of
reading do we get these days? Look at the kids, movies,
comic books, radio, now television. Now one of they're confused.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Oh the picture, see it was swalled, specially when the old.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Name got sad.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Oh, Ricky, get up off the floor. How about when the.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Mother drinks the poison? Well, now, what kind of a
picture was that?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
It was really swell?
Speaker 1 (03:12):
A lot of murders. Oh wait a minute, boys, Look,
I have no objection to you're going to moving pictures,
but can't you pick out something else beside this bloodthirsty
junk people getting murdered, taking poison. Where the trash day right?
Speaker 8 (03:25):
Nowadays?
Speaker 2 (03:26):
What was the name of the picture, David Hamlet?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Well, as I say, I have no objections, you're going
to the movies, but I don't want you to lose
sight of the fact that we have a lot of
wonderful books here at home, just as interesting as any movie.
Every one of these books is a fascinating story of
some sort. Get something out of everyone, Harry, Just pick
any book out it ran, Let me read a passage,
any book at all.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Here you are, Dick, no.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Always empty dust bag after you. Some days you just
can't win, Hia Tharnie, Oh hi, have you been keeping
yourself all day? I've just been browsing through a few books.
(04:24):
You know, we don't do enough of that these days. Well,
that's exactly the way I feel. Thorny's a dangerous age
reliving in Not like the old age. A man had
more intellectual curiosity in those days. He learned things for himself.
But nowadays he's a confused animal. He came to your
house too. You know there's a lot in what he said, though, Thornie.
(04:52):
Things are different now, especially for the kids, so they
don't get the good old fashioned, solid stuff that we
used to read. Write his rain You remember Moby Dick,
David Copperfield, Ivanhoe, the poems of Byron Keats Shelley delightful.
Now the kids don't know what that means. Nowdays are
(05:12):
so busy with comic books and shows and radio and everything.
See how well I remember lying in bed late at
night with the light on under the covers reading Treasure Island.
Really that was my favorite book. Really, the Rover Boys
a Treasure Island. No, no, no, no, no, I don't
mean the Rover Boys. I mean just playing Treasure Island. Oh, anyway,
(05:36):
the Rover Boys never went to Treasure Isle. Oh you're wrong.
On the father was lost there. Remember he was looking
for a treasure. No, no, no, Tony, that was Uncle Randolph.
And it wasn't Treasure Island. It was African. I remember
they found a strange letter from the old Sea captain.
Oh wait a minute, as you were all mixed up,
Uncle Randolph was back in New York State putting the
squeeze on Josiah Crabtree. After the scobble about Sam Baxter.
(05:57):
You mean Dan Baxter, the son of Arnold backs to
the town scoundough. Okay, but it was Arnold who guned
up the Treasure Island expertise. They never went to Treasure Island, Thorney.
And even if they did, Arnold Baxter couldn't possibly have
gummed it up. He was in jail at the time. Jail.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Now wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
He got six months for trying to boil fun loving
Dick in hot tar. Fun loving Dick. That shows how
much you know us Sam. Sam was the fun loving rover.
Dick was the elder rover in cage of the widow
Stanhope's beautiful daughter Dora. Well maybe you're right about that,
but they never went to Treasure Island.
Speaker 9 (06:34):
It was Africa. Treasure Island, Africa, Treasure Island, Africa.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Tradera. And here's the juvenile section, Harrid. Are you sure
they have the rover boy? Oh yeah, I phoned the
librarian under an assumed name.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
And see Standish Studdard thumbs and where right up on
the top shelf see Arthur M.
Speaker 8 (07:17):
Winfield.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Gee, they've got them all the rover boys on the river,
in the mountains, on land and sea.
Speaker 10 (07:27):
At Treasure Island where.
Speaker 8 (07:35):
Gee, I don't think I can reach up that for you.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Better get a stool. I'll be right back.
Speaker 8 (07:43):
Stool or chair maybe. Oh yeah, pardon me? You're not
reading this big book at you?
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I like to borrow.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
Yeah. Oh that's really heavy.
Speaker 10 (08:00):
H yeah, now you needed another book to climb up
on that one?
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (08:10):
Steading me know it?
Speaker 7 (08:13):
You got it?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yeah, take a look at it while I take back
this unabridged encyclopedia.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Or whatever it is.
Speaker 8 (08:24):
Boy, this is heavy. H. Excuse me?
Speaker 6 (08:30):
Excuse me?
Speaker 7 (08:32):
Ill? No da anything else?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Didn't h? Yes, you're miss Kaiser Ricky's mathematics teacher.
Speaker 7 (08:40):
No, so I'm Miss.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Fraser david Ley's teacher. Yes, this is a pleasant surprise.
Speaker 7 (08:50):
He didn't off, And we need one of the fathers
at the library.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Well, I just came down here to settle a little
friendly discussion with my neighbor, mister Thornberry.
Speaker 7 (08:59):
About three Henry Parkinson.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Sir Henry Parkinson. Yes, she's History of the Peloponnesian Wars.
The book you have there, well.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I know you're just like the other.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Am I.
Speaker 7 (09:17):
You're a little ashamed of yourself, aren't you?
Speaker 6 (09:19):
Well why should you be?
Speaker 8 (09:21):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
You know how it is, miss Fraser.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
If you have an honest intellectual curiosity, you should be
proud of it.
Speaker 7 (09:28):
Nolighing, you're obviously interested in Greek.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
History not admitted.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
No, No, it's not exactly that. As I said, mister.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Thornberry and I had a little.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Discussion, and I came down here to dual research.
Speaker 7 (09:40):
Of course you wanted to brush up a little. Matter
of fact, I have to remit I'm a wee bit rusty.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
On the Peloponnesian Wars myself.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
How long since you read it?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Well, it's hard to say that you have an openness
since college, probably longer than that.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Well, the important thing is that you still have big interests.
That's what true intellectual curiosity gives us. Mister Nelson, the
hungry mind.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
Now that you'll old there, how are you, miss Fraser?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Just tie, missus Nelson, I was just complimenting your husband
on his intellectual curiosity.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Harriet, I think we'd better be running along now. We
have some errands to do.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Mind, you want to take the book out?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
No, I have it right here.
Speaker 7 (10:24):
You see what the.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Peloponnesian Wars. You know, the book Thorny and I were discussing,
Sir Henry Parker house parking parking lot.
Speaker 10 (10:39):
Well, goodbye, miss Fraser, Goodbyemus Fraser. There's no doubt about it.
The man is a confused animal.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
M Listen to this, Harriet. The causes of the Peloponnesian
Wars are understandably complex in that Patdare, a Dorian town
on the western promontory of Thrace, was induced to revolt
with the support of the Macedonian king Perdicas, formerly an
Athenian alle. Yeah, what does it mean? I haven't the
(11:21):
faintest idea.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Where does he get fast.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Book as a library, David? It's a book on Greek history.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
That's the sickest book I've ever saw.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Well, it covers a lot of territories. It's all about
the Peloponnesian Wars. That size well, it includes a lot
of the history of the times.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Of course, what are you going to start reading it?
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Oh? I don't know. There's no hurry. It's a one
hundred and twenty day book.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Hello, yes, oh, hell Misphraser.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
You know after I got home this afternoon. There was
something I should have.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
You seem to have such an active interest in.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
Worthwhilely, Oh, well, be sketch with a BDA.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Discussion tomorrow night at the schools.
Speaker 7 (12:07):
On proper books for school children.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I thought you might like to appear on the panel.
Speaker 8 (12:11):
Up.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Well, i'd be delighted, Miss Fraser. I'm going to talk
about Yes, yes, Miss Fraser, that would be just fine.
I elementary. Well, it's not exactly my specialty, like Sir Henry.
(12:32):
I know.
Speaker 7 (12:35):
That's why we had the subject change.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
What was that We're going to discuss the Teleponnesian Wars.
Speaker 6 (12:43):
I don't think I got that last quite clearly.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I said we're going to discuss the Teleponnesian Wars.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
When I told them you're especially into Citic Greek history.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
They would be here of anything else. Uh, Miss Fraser,
I think this would be a good time to let
you in on a little joke.
Speaker 8 (13:01):
You know.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
When you were fast knowledge of this.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
It's going to be an exciting evening, especially when you
chase me out of the auditorium. Oh, we won't feel
bad if you outshine this. No, no, you don't understand.
I understand that.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Mother seems to be overcome by fer will expect you
to school tomorrow night at eight thirties?
Speaker 5 (13:23):
Good one, is it?
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Nelson?
Speaker 10 (13:27):
What's the matter?
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Dear? You look like you can hit by a rock.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Pardon where are you going?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
I think I'll go up to my room and have
a good cry.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Hey, what had Arlie Nelson got involved into this time?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (13:54):
I sure don't envy him standing up there in front
of the PTA giving a speech about the early Greeks
and the Peloponnesian Wars.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Gush.
Speaker 5 (14:02):
Now, if they wanted a few words about the subject
of international sterling, why I'd be glad to contribute. I'd
get right up and I'd say, did you know that
the international sterling pattern of your choice, in the same
substantial weight and the same superb quality costs no more
today than it did in nineteen forty four? Did you
know that the prices of beautiful international sterling.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
Haven't gone up one penny in five years?
Speaker 5 (14:27):
And did you know you can save about twenty dollars
by getting eight play settings in any.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
One of several lovely international.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Sterling patterns rather than some other sterling. That's eight play settings,
eight each of knives forks, teaspoons, salad forks, soup spoons,
and butter spreaders. Remember this is International Sterling, the loveliest
solid silver.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
In the world, so see it tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
It's the solid silver with beauty that lives forever, famous
International Sterling. Well, it's only twenty six hours until the
(15:12):
showdown in the school library.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
The Neunting household.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
It is tense with expectancy as its hero marshals his forces.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
To meet the challenge. The clock has just struck six thirty.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I can read fifty pages an hour. If the book
is say, five hundred pages, it's finished in ten hours.
How many pages in the book can you see there?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Thirty two hundred and ninety six.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Well, there's probably less than that, if if you don't
count all the footnotes, and if you skip the descriptive
passages and get right to the dialogously second life. I
can read as fast as seventy.
Speaker 8 (15:53):
Five pages in hour. That cuts it down. It's seventy
five and one hundred and nineties one in four.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Carry time out for dinner. Six.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
How's it figure out?
Speaker 1 (16:19):
According to these calculations, I'll be finished sometime next Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
The clock strikes eight. Ozzie's knowledge hungry mind is eagerly
devouring the text of.
Speaker 6 (16:33):
The great book.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
How are you doing?
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Oh? Not too bad, Harriet CARSI goes a little slowly
at first, until you get into it.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
It's strange there aren't more people.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Interested in this type of thing.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
What do you mean?
Speaker 8 (16:46):
Well?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I noticed the last time this book was borrowed was
December nineteen ten.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Are you only on page eight? My goodness, the discussion.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Is tomorrow night. Are you doing pop?
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Oh, that's pretty good, David, I'm on page eight.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
If you can read pop.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
There's a lot of meat in this stuff once you
get into the interesting part here. Just listen to this.
It reads almost like modern fiction. After Herodotus had resided
for some seven or eight years in Samos, events occurred
in his native city which induced him to return thither.
(17:32):
The tyranny of the tyranny of the tyranny of this
fell hair had gone from bad to worse, and at
last he was expelled. See how stuff like that? You
(17:53):
just can't put the book down.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I can't even take it up.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Still wonderful reading.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I look right here.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
The city of Epidamus stands at the right of the
entrance of the Ionic Gulf.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
I'll answer Mom, I'll go with you.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Oh, Harry, where you're going wait for me.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I don't want to hear any more either.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
You might as well stay here. Won't hurt you to
listen to some of this. The place is a colony
from Corserra, founded by Thalius, the son of Iraticlides, who
had been summoned for the purpose from the mother country.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Tom, Yes, isn't it time for me to go to bed?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
You'll just listen carefully.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
You might find this very very interesting. Out of the way, Ricky,
what's that?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Then?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
The library brought this over in a jeeps.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
What in the world is it?
Speaker 2 (19:03):
The History of the Peloponnesian Wars by Sir Henry Parkinson.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Well, well that's the book I've got here.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
No, dear, you've just got volume one.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
This is volume two, Volume two. We shouldn't have tried
to carry that by yourself. Herry, that's too heavy. Why
didn't you let David help you?
Speaker 2 (19:21):
David, he's got his hands full of volume three and four.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Oh they're pretty good?
Speaker 8 (19:37):
Oh, good for you?
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Page twenty seven already.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Yeah, but I got a lucky break. I just had
fifteen pages of maps and so the Spartans sent to
Athens no formal declaration of war, but rather sought to
create some specious Cassius Harriet, would you mind answering the
(20:06):
door belly, intending to inflame the existing hostilities against Pericles
and Athens by implicating him in the curse pronounced, Oh, Thorny,
(20:28):
what are you doing over here? Said old Thornberry? Didn't
come prepare? We got a bone up us? Burn the
midnight oil?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
How do I put him?
Speaker 1 (20:35):
What have you got there? What have I got? Great thing?
Pulling me in on that discussion tomorrow night. It's gonna
be fun, though. Cleaned off the shelves down the library,
all eight of them, eight of what the rober boys
rover boys, I'm sure. Ms Fraser called and asked if
I'd like to sit in, and she said the discussion
was about the rover boys. Sure, whoa excuse me.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Your Thorny. Can you remember exactly what Miss Fraser said
to you.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
On the phone?
Speaker 8 (21:02):
Why?
Speaker 6 (21:02):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (21:02):
She said, OZ was conducting a discussion on the rover Boys.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Let's see.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Well, maybe she doesn't exactly say rover boys, but she
said the book I was discussing with mister Nelson.
Speaker 7 (21:13):
This afternoon.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
What else could it be?
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Doorney?
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Maybe you better sit down.
Speaker 4 (21:18):
What's some other Ozzie you? Telly? Margo, make some coffee, Berney.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Old gray headed friend. I don't have gray hair, you will, Thorney.
What do you know about the Peloponnesian wars? I have
the layman's knowledge, absolutely nothing. What's that got to do
(21:45):
with the rover boys? The discussion tomorrow night is about
the Peloponnesian wars? Oz How can anybody say Peloponnesian into
one phone and have it come out of the other phone? Boys, Dorny,
you're just getting panicky. All we have to do is
read through these four fascinating volumes.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
Here's volume two.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Just prop your feet up on volume three. The unsatisfactory
(22:26):
character of the Athenian Pelophnesian coalious skim Thorny. Forget the
fine prints. It's all fine print. What have you got there?
On Calikratidus Oh born in volume two, died in volume four.
(22:55):
The Peloponnesian commanders encouraged their men after this fish and
the fourth year of the war, of which Thucidides was
(23:16):
the historian. Oh, very nice, well.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Very interesting.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Yeah, once you get into it, it's not bad? What
was right along? If you push hot, it's a matter
of Harry, I think you're a couple of phonies. Well, Harriet,
how can you say a thing like that? Ask us
anything reasonable about the Peloponnesian Wars and we'll give you
the answer like that?
Speaker 7 (23:36):
Okay, who won?
Speaker 1 (23:43):
That's not a reasonable question. She's got a point there,
Os we better look it up. They might hit us
with it tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Wait a minute, would you stand by for an important
announcement like what miss Fraser phones? The discussion has been
called off?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Called off? Oh what a disappoint It's not awful, Barney.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Do you think if I coaxed hard enough I could
talk you into going to the Biju.
Speaker 7 (24:07):
There's a very good picture.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
I'll get my code ours, Oz, think what you're doing
if we leave this room? We are deserters. Where's your
intellectual curiosity?
Speaker 4 (24:15):
You don't want to go to the movies? You'd rather
stay here?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Of course I would.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
I happen to love literature.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I have no desire to go to the Beju tonight.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
It's a very good picture, Thorney.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I know I've seen it. I'll look at this wonderful
reading material.
Speaker 6 (24:30):
Oz can you leave this, think.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Of the adventures that lie between these companies. Thorney's right, Harriet,
I'm afraid my hunger for this good reading is a
little stronger.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Are you serious, Well, of course I am.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Shall we begin, Thorney?
Speaker 7 (24:45):
We shall?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
You can read the Rover Boys on land and see
I'll take the Rover Boys in the Mountain.
Speaker 8 (25:00):
Ozzie, are you.
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Just coming to bed?
Speaker 8 (25:03):
Yes, Harry, go back to sleep. What time is it?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
It's pretty late, darned Thorny.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
I couldn't get it to.
Speaker 4 (25:10):
Go home, Ozzie.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Look at the clock.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
It's a quarter to size darn clock with its luminous face.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Ozzy know from the idea of reading the Rover Boys
until almost five in the morning.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Well, it was my fault. I wanted to quit at
four o'clock. But Thorny is such a big kid. But
we settled the argument as to which one is the
fun loving Rover.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Please tell me so I.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Can go to sleep with a clear mind.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Well remember Thorny said Sam was and I said Dick was.
Thorny was wrong, It was Tom.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Okay, Now do you please go to sleep?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Who could that be?
Speaker 8 (25:51):
Hello, Thorny?
Speaker 1 (25:54):
What do you want?
Speaker 6 (25:56):
Would you put Harriet on.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I want her to.
Speaker 8 (25:59):
Talk to my wife.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
What's the matter, Thorny? I keep telling her over and over,
but somehow she just won't believe I was up all
night with the Rover Boys.
Speaker 6 (26:29):
My damn Harriet will be back in just a moment.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
Gosh, let it be stated right here that I Burne Smith,
on the occasion of my next visit to.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
The library, will have nothing.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Whatsoever to do with Sir Henry Parkinson in his.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
History of the Peloponnesian Wars. And that goes for the
Rover Boys too.
Speaker 7 (26:45):
Well, how about a Life magazine? Would you look at that?
Speaker 10 (26:49):
Well?
Speaker 5 (26:49):
I will if there's a picture of what I think
there is in it, like in this week's issue International
Sterling's beautiful wild.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Rose pattern right right, and that's just over to me
you at a minute, I.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Saw, Oh, that's not surprising either, because there's something about
International Sterling's wild rose pattern that seems to hold every
bit of romance and enchantment, all the loveliness a girl
has ever known.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
And even the.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
Picture will show you what an exquisitely created design wild
rose is. Fragile, stilken wild rose petals caught and hell
forever on a.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
Gleaming silver shaft. Wild Rose is truly a.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
Bride's pattern, with grace and delicacy in every line.
Speaker 7 (27:29):
I know, and I'm going to be a bride next street.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Goodyfi could be more a person.
Speaker 11 (27:34):
Me was my very own International Sterling in the wild
Rose patterns.
Speaker 5 (27:38):
That's the kind of a love story that never grows old.
International Sterling, It's just made for brides, for all women
who want their homes with to be homes of loveliness,
of dignity and shining pride. And don't forget that International
Sterling patterns are still the same superb quality, the same
substantial weight, and the same wonderful price as in nineteen
(28:00):
forty four.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
That's why so many.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Women choose it.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
International Sterling, the solid silver with duty that lives forever.
