The Great Yeller's label to be with us again in

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Meanwhile, I want to tell you how to cook one
of America's favorite main dishes in seven minutes flat. Yes,
you can make fluffy, light macaroni with cheese goodness through
and through that fast. Get a package of the product
called Kraft Dinner. Take the special Kraft Dinner macaroni out
of the package and cook it in boiling water not
more than seven minutes by the clock. No need to
bake or blanch this macaroni, just drain it and likely
(27:17):
mix in a little butter and milk. Then, with the
Craft grated that comes in every Kraft Dinner package, you
sprinkle in the cheese flavor. Pop that macaroni and cheese
into a casserole on to the table. Your main dish
is ready and with Kraft Dinner, your delicious macaroni and
cheese is one of the most economical main dishes you
can find. Doesn't Kraft Dinner sound like what you've been
(27:38):
looking for for days? When you rush to get lunch
in or dinner and to help out the budget too, well,
get some tomorrow. Every Kraft Dinner package contains the makings
for four servings of delicious macaroni and cheese. Better get
several packages so that the pantry shelf will be all
set for hurry up meals. Remember the name Kraft Dinner.
Speaker 4 (28:18):

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Meanwhile, I want to tell you how to cook one
of America's favorite main dishes in seven minutes flat. Yes,
you can make fluffy, light macaroni with cheese goodness through
and through that fast. Get a package of the product
called Kraft Dinner. Take the special Kraft Dinner macaroni out
of the package and cook it in boiling water not
more than seven minutes by the clock. No need to
bake or blanch this macaroni, just drain it and likely
(27:17):
mix in a little butter and milk. Then, with the
Craft grated that comes in every Kraft Dinner package, you
sprinkle in the cheese flavor. Pop that macaroni and cheese
into a casserole on to the table. Your main dish
is ready and with Kraft Dinner, your delicious macaroni and
cheese is one of the most economical main dishes you
can find. Doesn't Kraft Dinner sound like what you've been
(27:38):
looking for for days? When you rush to get lunch
in or dinner and to help out the budget too, well,
get some tomorrow. Every Kraft Dinner package contains the makings
for four servings of delicious macaroni and cheese. Better get
several packages so that the pantry shelf will be all
set for hurry up meals. Remember the name Kraft Dinner.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Foley says, they're building these liberty ships here in any days.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Yes, leroy, you can't beat American production methods. By these
new boats are almost assembly jobs.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
Well.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
A ship is made up of thousands of items. They
come from almost every city and state in our Union.
Engines from Denver, life boats from Cocomo, Indiana, wheels from Seattle,
pine from Georgia, switchboards from Connecticut, the manifolds from West Virginia,
have hatched covers from Maine. Every part of our nation
is represented here. They're real liberty ships, my boy, built
(28:49):
by liberty loving men, so that liberty shall not perish
from this earth. Good Night, ladies and gentlemen.
