And now let's visit our friend, the great yielder sleeve.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Uh, Leroy, h come in here a minute, will you?
I want to say, how did you get that scratch
on your nose? And by George R. Shirsault harn too,
what's happened to you?
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Well? I had a slight argument with a friend of mine.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
A slight argument with a friend, eh, I'd hate to
see after a big fight with a stranger. Where did
you two argue inside a cement mixer?
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Nope, all the way from our backyard to Georgie Beasley's
front steps. It was a sort of a running argument.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Yes, now, Leroy, I disapprove of you holding knuckle debates
with your little chums, but you uncle more.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
You should have heard what Georgie said.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
No matter what he said, it wasn't the friendly thing
to do.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
But if you'd have heard, you'd understand why I had
a bot 'om on the smeller.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Bot him on the smeller, Leroy, where do you pick
up that kind of language? Will you.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Remember Wednesday when you almost ran into that truck?
Speaker 4 (02:53):
That truck almost ran into me, young man? And besides,
I don't recall using those words.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
It was just after the truck driver told you to Leroy.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Never mind, let's get back to you, young man. You
must realize that you can't keep friendships by indulging in pugilistics,
all locations, poking people in the pussy well.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Who wants to be friends with old Georgie Beasley anyhow?
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Oh? No, Aleroy, friends are more precious than golder diamonds.
What would a man have if he didn't have any friends?
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Gold or diamonds?
Speaker 4 (03:26):
That's right, No, Leroy, I want you to go over
to Georgie Beasley's house and apologize.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Not right now, his big brother is home. Oh besides,
I'm look gonna shake hands with them.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
After what he said about you, come come, remember sticks
and stones may break about me? What did he say?
I don't like to repeat it, but I want to.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Know the lord you don only get angry. Besides, your
head isn't any fatter than anybody else's.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Oooh oh he called me a fat head? Did he?
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
How'd you find out y way? Will I tell his
mother about this?
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Oh, you won't have to do that, Uncle Morre. He
was just repeating what she said.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Oh, let's drop the subject, Leroy. Only remember one thing.
Friends are wonderful things to have, because when you're over
your head in debt, a friend won't let you down,
And when you're up to your ears in trouble, a
friend won't let you down. And when you find out
you're on a limb.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
A friend won't let you down then either.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Yes, say that reminds me. I've been meaning to look
up an old friend from back home ever since I
came to Summerfield.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Does he live here?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Yes, fellow named Charlie Dappo. I'll get in touch with
him right now. Hand me the phone book, will you please?
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Thanks great chap Charlie. I remember when I was first
struggling to get into the girdle business. It was Charlie
who helped me to get into girdles, no young man. Yes, yes,
he owned Dapple's department store at the time. He snapped
up the first ten dozen I made. Yes, he had
a stretch of point to do it too.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
And could that help you?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Yes, sir, pulled me out of a mighty tid squeeze.
Let me see Daniels Danner Dante. Here we are, Dapple
Charles one forty seven, Olive Street, Pimento four seven three three.
That'll be good to see good old Charlie Dapple again
after all these years. Yeah, hello, hello, could I speak
(05:19):
to Charlie Dapple?
Speaker 7 (05:19):
Please?
Speaker 8 (05:20):
Well, he isn't home now, This is missus.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Dapple, Missus Dapple. Well, don't tell me that good old
Charlie's married after all these years. Congratulations, Missus Dapple. You're
a mighty lucky woman.
Speaker 8 (05:29):

Labor Day. Say, I'll bet you're a redhead.
Speaker 5 (05:45):

Speaker 8 (05:46):
What made you think I was a redhead?
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Well, you know how Charlie always went? No, I guess
you don't.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Maybe not, but I will. Who is this?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Oh, it's an old friend from back home. Frock Morton, p. Gillers.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Leave.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
That doesn't that name mean anything you? No? Oh, but
surely he's told you about the times we used to
have together. Didn't he ever talk about Atlantic City? No?
Speaker 5 (06:06):
What about Atlantic City?
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Well it's it's in New Jersey.
Speaker 9 (06:12):
Well, he'll be home many minutes and I'll ask him
all about.

fix anything special for me and just think of me
as one of the family. Goodbye, This is going to
be fun. Surprising Charlie. He loves surprises. I'll never forget
the night he sneaked a lot of his wax dummies
into my office to scare me the next morning and
did it. It would have if our night watchman hadn't
shot six something. He claimed. They pulled a knife on him.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Mister Dapple sounds like a keen guy.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
He is, Leroy, Good old Charlie, come along and meet him.

who's any bitty baby? M's a zoo?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (08:36):
Are you frightened her? Maybe it's your praise Uncle Moore?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Nonsense, leroy, babies just love my fish.
Speaker 9 (08:42):
Now now, mother's little angel cake?
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Yeahh shooh. I know it'll quiet her versus Dapple. It's
one trick that always works. I got it right here
in my pocket.
Speaker 5 (08:52):
Hey, unk, are you carrying around a bottle of milk?
Speaker 4 (08:55):
No, it's my watch, Leroy. Now listen, little cupcake. You
hear the tick tick?
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (09:03):
Isn't that cute?
Speaker 5 (09:04):
She's holding it to her ears.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Yes, there's nothing like a piece of jewelry to stop
a girl from crying.
Speaker 8 (09:17):
Oh, dear me the phone again.
Speaker 9 (09:19):
Now let go of the gentleman's watch, darling, so I

Speaker 8 (09:28):
Well, you just have to hold mister Gil to sleep
while I take that call.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
But but it's been years since I held a baby
that young.
Speaker 9 (09:37):
Don't you be afraid? Once you've learned, you never forget.
It's like swimming, swimming.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Oh, better.
Speaker 8 (09:44):
Here, hold Gertrude, mister Gilp.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Yeah, well all right, it was taking easy Gertrude. Oh
well jiggily, isn't she?
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Oh no, I'll be back in just a minute.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
You better come back now she's getting wrestless. No she here, Gertrude. Oh,
I was just kidding. Relax, kitch you kitch, you cou

Speaker 5 (10:07):
Coo shee the morn. I never knew you could take
care of babies.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I can't, Leroy, would you like the whole little gerdy
while love me?
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Come on, let's ditch your and go see hop along
cassidy Ye.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Wait a minute. I can't get my watch and chain
away from her. And now, Gertrude, you've had your little fun,
so let little.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Now you'se trying to force her uncle. She'll get tired
of her pretty soon and just drop the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
That's what I'm afraid of.
Speaker 5 (10:38):
I see. If she drops the watch, you get the.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Works, Leroy, don't poke fun now now, Gerty, let go
of uncle throck Morton's twenty one jewel nasty go watch.
That's a good girl, you see, Leroy, I got her back.
Now she got a hold of my hair. Let go
mother's little devil's food.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Kay, say, she certainly is a cute kid.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Leroy, don't stand there? Do something?
Speaker 5 (11:05):
Well, if I could find a pair of scissors, I
could cut off that honk of hair she's holding.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Oh out, Gertrude, unhand my hair?
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Yeah, hy she likes you.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Yeah, she's practically drooling over me.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
Will really, mister Gildersleeve, what are you doing to that baby?
Speaker 5 (11:21):
Adam?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
You better ask the baby what she's doing to me.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (11:24):
Oh, now, now let go of the man's hair. Darling
there thanks.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Oh my scalp feels like I just lost the decision
to sitting bull.
Speaker 9 (11:36):
Now you just lie in your blanket like a good
little girl while Mama runs down to the gas company.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
Yes, no, yes, or else.
Speaker 8 (11:43):
I don't know what we'll ever do over the weekend.
Charlie was supposed to attend to it.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
But you're not going to leave us alone here with Gertrude.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
Oh, she won't give you any trouble, will you, sweet heart?
Speaker 9 (11:55):
Yes, well, Charlie will probably be here before I return.
Speaker 8 (11:59):
Oh and he isn't. Just heat the baby's bottle in
ten minutes, take the boast out of the oven, and
a quarter of an hour. Then light a fire under
the suit, and if a cod package comes it's all right.
Speaker 9 (12:09):
To pay for it and even gets any cooler. Phone
down to the janitor for more heat.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Light a fire under the janitor, put the cod in
the oven. Phone down for the baby's bottle.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
You're doing it all wrong. You're supposed to fold it
the other.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Way, Leroy. I know which way it folds, after all,
I used to be a baby myself. I don't get fidgety, Gertie.
Remember rome wasn't built in today.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Careful what that safety pin? Uncle? More?
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Oh my, why don't these things come with zippers?
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Yes, mother's little leg of lamb.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
You better hurry up. Uncle morre Church, who was getting
restless and cold too.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Well, it's her own fault. She keeps kicking it off.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Well, if you can't pin it, why don't you just
leave it off all together?
Speaker 4 (13:17):
No, Leroy, we've got a pin. Girdford down some way
with this blanket. Ah, there we are. I wonder what
makes her do that.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Maybe she's just born with everything. But she isn't yelling.
She's yawning.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Well that's because she should be sleeping, Leroy. Possibly if
I told her some little anecdote that might put her asleep.
It always works at the Rotary Club.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Why did you just try singing her to sleep?
Speaker 4 (13:44):
That's a fine idea, friends have told me. My voice
reminds them of a meadow lark singing bass.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Okay, mat with all eyes?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
All right? What would you think of a sleep in
the deep? You know many brave hearts? Or sleep in
the deep? Too deep? How about rock a Bye Baby?
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Go ahead and for more?
Speaker 4 (14:12):
All right, let me see. I think it goes, rock
a Bye Baby in the tree top. Yeah, in the windlows,
the cradle will run. I can't remember how the rest goes.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
We'll come baby, cradle and all.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Yeah, that's it. Rockabye Gertrude on the tree top.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
She's going to sleep.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Say you better not stop when the bough breaks, the
cradle goes, lower your.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Door, swell un sing it once more.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Rock a Bye Baby. Let's go, ye, Roy, she's closing
her eyes, So let's tiptoe into the other room.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Oh my boy, let's wait here till Bobby she shuts.
Look out for that pen.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Oh nuts, rock by baby? Oh what's the use I
(15:34):
have been singing till my tonsils are loose.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
You better give up on whatever it is that kid
wants it et a meadow lark that sings bass.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
I'm afraid you're right, Leroy.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
See, if this takes much longer, we won't see those
two pictures before.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Dinner, Leroy. If this takes much longer, we won't eat
and see dinner. I better call home and tell your
sister will be late, and the hand me that telephone. Yeah, idea,
you're playing nurse and aide to a baby. Fine thing. Hello,
Oh hello, Marjorie, looks like Leroy. And I'll be a
little late for dinner tonight, my dear. We stopped in
to see an old friend.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Who's that your old friend?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
No, it's good fruit. She's just a baby, yeah, Leroy
and I are taking care of her for missus Napple.
She's out taking care of the gas. Yes, and we're
even taking care of the cookie.
Speaker 10 (16:27):
Oh, you uncle Moore taking care of the cookie.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Yes. I was supposed to take the roast out of
the oven and put the soup on the fire, but
I had to put the soup in the oven because
the roast was on fire. Oh, poor uncle Moore.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Yeah, have you been having much trouble? With the baby.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Well, I've been singing Rockabye Baby to her, but something
tells me she'd prefer there'll be some changes made.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
I think I better come over and help you.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
That's a marvelous idea, and bring berdie Marjorie and maybe
she can patch up the dinner I've ruined. All right?
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Oh, I think I'm what's wrong with that baby? It's
probably hungry hungry?
Speaker 4 (17:03):
See I never thought of that. Let me have a look.
Oh my goodness, that's what it must be. Marjorie, hurry
over quickly. Well, girt, wo'd so hungry. She's trying to
swallow her.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Foot and a miss Have you got that all straight?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Now?
Speaker 5 (17:30):
I think so?
Speaker 8 (17:31):
Missus dapple.
Speaker 10 (17:31):
We're to shut off the gas at one forty seven
hour this afternoon and turn it on at thirty two
fourteen winslow?
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Is that right correct?
Speaker 9 (17:38):
We're moving away from the Olive Street apartment tonight, and
I don't want.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Any slip up. Oh, there won't be.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
Oh now, can I change my light and water here too?
Speaker 10 (17:45):
No, the light and water company's down at tenth and
Spring Streets.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
Oh dear, well, that'll take me an hour. I left
someone with my baby, and I promised to be right back.
Speaker 8 (17:54):
Oh, well, they'll just have to wait.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Really, Marjorie, the way you handle that baby is a
revelation to me.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Yeah, you're certainly tidy with a.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Didy Where did you ever learn all that? My dear?
Speaker 10 (18:19):
Oh, I took child psychology in school, yes, but Gertrude didn't.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
How did you ever two get together?
Speaker 10 (18:24):
It was easy in dealing with hysteria and psychonerosis. In
the field of speculating philosophy relating to the young, the
prime factor was a thorough understanding of the mental and
nervous processes of the infant mind.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Simple, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Uh? Either it is or I am say? Leroy? How's
Bertie doing?
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Oh? Bertie? How's everything?
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Well?
Speaker 5 (18:45):
As a kid consider it?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Considering what Bertie? The cupboards?
Speaker 5 (18:49):
I was wrong with a cupboard here? Bertie?
Speaker 11 (18:51):
Well, from the looks on, these folks seems to have
a mighty fine assortment of nothing nothing?
Speaker 4 (18:57):
What do you mean? Make yourself plain?
Speaker 11 (18:58):
Okay, I've be's but it's don't sound ugly. These folks
ha got just to buy enough food in that kitchen
for one meal?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Do you mean that missus Dapple's cupboard is empty? Mad?
Speaker 5 (19:09):
That cupboard.
Speaker 11 (19:09):
Couldn't be any bad than if that lady's name was Hubbard.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Oh this is terrible. I never dreamed for a moment
they were destitute.
Speaker 8 (19:17):
What are we going to do?
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Uncle Mare?
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Don't worry, I'll fix things up, Marjorie at Bertie, take
this ten dollar bill down to the nearest store and
buy a lot of groceries.
Speaker 11 (19:24):
Yes, better make out a list, yes, and can good
welcome more?
Speaker 5 (19:28):
That's terribly sweet of you.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
And some sugar. It's nothing, my dear. I get a
lump in my throat, dump sugar and a sinking feeling
in my heart Bacon soda when I think of what's ahead.
Speaker 11 (19:42):
They hit a cabbage, Yes.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Sir, it brings the tears to my eyes and onions.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
I suppose they just gradually got into death and couldn't
catch up. That's it, they couldn't catch up. Bertie, are
you still here? You better get going. Take Leroy along
to help you to carry the bundle. Hurry out the
back way. I'll bet that's my old pal now. And
will I clap hands if here comes Charly, I'll see here, dapple.
Speaker 12 (20:09):
We've exhausted off patience with you. Why do you ignore
our letters? Why do you hang up with me telephone?
Why don't you be a man and make your payments
on that piano like you promised.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
No see here, mister, I'm not dappled, but by George,
if I was and you used that phone, I'd cuff
you around and you'd crawl back into the woodwork.
Speaker 12 (20:25):
Oh yeah, well, if you're not Dapple, what do you
care how I talk to them?
Speaker 4 (20:28):
You your big glimp Ooh he's my friend, and you
can't abuse an absent friend in my presence, especially if
he isn't here. Not a loud huh. Oh that's right,
that's so loud, mister. If you want to fight, just
step inside.
Speaker 12 (20:41):
Okay, but this time, when I leave, I'm taking that.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Piano with me over my dead body. That makes it
even more attractive. One more crack like that, and I'll
shove that swollen zither down your noisy throat. You take
your hat off and state your business before I forget
my manners and bop you on the smeller. No, take
it easy, chubbsy.
Speaker 12 (21:02):
My name is Baxter at the Summerfield washing machine at
Piano Company. Now, this fellow Dapple has been buying this
piano pumis on the installment fan only he kept up
his payments.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Well, I happen to know that mister Dapple has been
up against it pretty badly lately. Couldn't you just kind
of forget the payments this month? Forget it?
Speaker 12 (21:16):
How can I have got a memory like an elephant?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Yeh, a hide like one too. All right, then, how
much is the payment? I'll give it to you myself.
Oh no, you won't.
Speaker 12 (21:25):
According to our contract, once a payment is defaulted, the
entire remaining balance becomes automatically due.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Oh my goodness, how much is he still on it?
Speaker 11 (21:31):
Now?
Speaker 12 (21:31):
Let's see, I've got it right here?
Speaker 5 (21:33):
It's seventy four dollars.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Seventy four dollars more. Why that mahogany monstrosity over there
was never worth that in the first place.
Speaker 12 (21:39):
Either I get the money or res a piano.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Yes, I think you mean it. Well, Charlie Dapple help
me up when I was getting started, so I can't
let him down when he's just about finished. I'll write
your check for the seventy four dollars. Let's see. That'll
leave me with a balance of twenty eight cents. And
(22:05):
now there's somebody at the back door. I better go
see I'm coming you, blasted woodpecker. Excuse me on the
gas man, don't want any I got enough gas. I
come to shut it off, shut it off, didn't missus.
Daple call at your office this afternoon, probably to pay
the bill.
Speaker 7 (22:21):
Look, brother, I'm a guy who sticks strictly to his
own job. I gotta order saying tiney off gas at
tapple apart month one for seven Olives Street.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
And that's what I'm gonna do. Brother. Well, let's not
be too hasty about this. Brother, I suppose I pay
the bill to you right now.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
No, I ain't allowed to take no money. You don't understand, brother.
I'm just the guy who gets orders to tine gas
on to tiny it off. Then I go where it
says and I turn gas on or else I turn
it off.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
That's all I do. Sounds mighty monotonous. I like being monotonous.
Look here, brother, by the way, what's your name, hymen?
Peebles Herman peoples, Look here, herbie peoples live here too,
simple peoples, the kindly peoples, the salt of the earth.
(23:18):
That things have been a little top for him lately,
and there's another mouth to feed too. You mean, yes,
that's what I mean. A tiny baby named little Gertrude.
Think what would mean the poor little Gertrude if she
didn't have any gas, no hot milk, no hot water,
no hot air.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
It's tough.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Yes, winter is approaching to Herbie, need I say more?
Speaker 7 (23:43):
No, No, don't worry, miss time. I'm not gonna shut
off the dance the other day. You're not, No, I
just can't.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Well, I'm certainly certainly glad.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
I convinced you wasn't you missed, just remembered I left
my toes at the office.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Say when are we going to that movie?
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Just as soon as the dapple shows its nose through
that door.
Speaker 11 (24:17):
I don't cook this rib ro so long it's done,
shrunk down to the size of a lamb chop.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
Well, personally, I wouldn't mind staying all evening. Only I
got a previous and gaitule.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
It's them. I'll get the door.
Speaker 12 (24:29):
Wait, come for the finiture to take it away.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
This is the last straw.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Don't let them do this to little girls.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Run you're right, leroy. You men can't do this to
a poor, little, helpless baby.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
We ain't doing nothing.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
No, no, baby, take the other under this solfit, Terry
got it. Don't get all the way mister Bye George,
you're not going to get away with this uncle.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
Put down that base.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
I was just trying to help him in out there.
Don't do us no favorites. We'll help ourselves. Talk careful
coming out of that door, Terry. Okay, quickly, Roy locked
the door. We got to figure out some way to
prevent him from stripping the apartment.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Miss Giselely, he.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Did come in the back end and says she's Miss Davil.
Speaker 9 (25:02):
Yes, she comes now, oh last, Oh, thank you ever
so much, mister Guildecon.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
That's all right. Where's Charlie?
Speaker 9 (25:10):
Well, I can't imagine unless he's all of course, this
was his Saturday to work late at the office.
Speaker 8 (25:17):
But he'll be here any minute now, that is, if
he comes straight home.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
He better come straight home. There are a couple of men
roaming around trying to repossess your furniture.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
Repossess our furniture. Well, I can't imagine. Oh why you
must mean the moving man.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Yeah, they're moving men. They're trying to move everything you
got right out of here.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
Well, of course we're moving over to Winslow Avenue today.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Oh my goodness, how can Charlie do this to me?
And what about the piano? The collector tried to take
it away, but I stopped him when you should have.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
Let him have it. We just played it to break
our leave.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Here your lease in my pocketbook, madam.
Speaker 9 (25:50):
Well, we better hurry up and get ready to leave.
Did the men come to turn.
Speaker 5 (25:53):

Speaker 4 (25:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (25:54):
And you should have seen him turn on my tears.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
Oh there's my house.
Speaker 9 (26:01):
There's something about the way he knocks that I can
always recognize.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
At last, and missus dapple, I've been waiting for this
moment all afternoon. Do you mind if I hide in
the dining room and then when good old Charlie comes in,
I'll jump out and yell surprise please, that's all I

Speaker 1 (27:13):
But first, I wonder why I always talk.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
To the ladies in our audience, because, after all, some
of us men aren't such bad cooks. Why I can
fry a wonderful egg. I can even make pretty good biscuits.
So really, we men should know about delicious Parkae margarine too,
So this is for men only. Next time you men
feel like whipping up a batch of biscuits, use Parkae
margarine made by Craft. You see Parkae margarine as a
(27:36):
real flavor shortening. It adds flavor to all baked foods,
so no wonder the wifes. Cookies and cakes taste better
when made with parquet. And if you like pan fried foods,
you'll find their tastier too when you use Parkae margarine.
And you don't have to worry about parks spattering or
sticking to the pan. Of course, you want to use
Parkae margarine at the table for you'll like its delicate,
(27:58):
appetizing flavor. Now, maybe you men aren't as interested in
nutrition as the women are, but you should know that
park margarine is a nourishing energy food that contains vitamin A.
So man, if you can't find park margarine at home,
buy a pound or two tomorrow. You will be pleased
to learn that it's mighty economical too. Just ask the
dealer for Park p A r K A Y.

And now let's visit our friend, the great yielder sleeve.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Uh, Leroy, h come in here a minute, will you?
I want to say, how did you get that scratch
on your nose? And by George R. Shirsault harn too,
what's happened to you?
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Well? I had a slight argument with a friend of mine.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
A slight argument with a friend, eh, I'd hate to
see after a big fight with a stranger. Where did
you two argue inside a cement mixer?
Speaker 5 (02:24):
Nope, all the way from our backyard to Georgie Beasley's
front steps. It was a sort of a running argument.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Yes, now, Leroy, I disapprove of you holding knuckle debates
with your little chums, but you uncle more.
Speaker 5 (02:37):
You should have heard what Georgie said.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
No matter what he said, it wasn't the friendly thing
to do.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
But if you'd have heard, you'd understand why I had
a bot 'om on the smeller.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Bot him on the smeller, Leroy, where do you pick
up that kind of language? Will you.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
Remember Wednesday when you almost ran into that truck?
Speaker 4 (02:53):
That truck almost ran into me, young man? And besides,
I don't recall using those words.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
It was just after the truck driver told you to Leroy.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Never mind, let's get back to you, young man. You
must realize that you can't keep friendships by indulging in pugilistics,
all locations, poking people in the pussy well.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
Who wants to be friends with old Georgie Beasley anyhow?
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Oh? No, Aleroy, friends are more precious than golder diamonds.
What would a man have if he didn't have any friends?
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Gold or diamonds?
Speaker 4 (03:26):
That's right, No, Leroy, I want you to go over
to Georgie Beasley's house and apologize.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Not right now, his big brother is home. Oh besides,
I'm look gonna shake hands with them.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
After what he said about you, come come, remember sticks
and stones may break about me? What did he say?
I don't like to repeat it, but I want to.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
Know the lord you don only get angry. Besides, your
head isn't any fatter than anybody else's.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
Oooh oh he called me a fat head? Did he?
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
How'd you find out y way? Will I tell his
mother about this?
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Oh, you won't have to do that, Uncle Morre. He
was just repeating what she said.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Oh, let's drop the subject, Leroy. Only remember one thing.
Friends are wonderful things to have, because when you're over
your head in debt, a friend won't let you down,
And when you're up to your ears in trouble, a
friend won't let you down. And when you find out
you're on a limb.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
A friend won't let you down then either.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
Yes, say that reminds me. I've been meaning to look
up an old friend from back home ever since I
came to Summerfield.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Does he live here?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Yes, fellow named Charlie Dappo. I'll get in touch with
him right now. Hand me the phone book, will you please?
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Thanks great chap Charlie. I remember when I was first
struggling to get into the girdle business. It was Charlie
who helped me to get into girdles, no young man. Yes, yes,
he owned Dapple's department store at the time. He snapped
up the first ten dozen I made. Yes, he had
a stretch of point to do it too.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
And could that help you?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Yes, sir, pulled me out of a mighty tid squeeze.
Let me see Daniels Danner Dante. Here we are, Dapple
Charles one forty seven, Olive Street, Pimento four seven three three.
That'll be good to see good old Charlie Dapple again
after all these years. Yeah, hello, hello, could I speak

Charlie's married after all these years. Congratulations, Missus Dapple. You're
a mighty lucky woman.
Speaker 8 (05:29):
Thank you. That's what Charlie keeps saying.

Labor Day. Say, I'll bet you're a redhead.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
No, I'm a brunette.
Speaker 8 (05:46):
What made you think I was a redhead?
Speaker 4 (05:47):
Well, you know how Charlie always went? No, I guess
you don't.
Speaker 5 (05:52):
Maybe not, but I will. Who is this?
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Oh, it's an old friend from back home. Frock Morton, p. Gillers.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Leave.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
That doesn't that name mean anything you? No? Oh, but
surely he's told you about the times we used to
have together. Didn't he ever talk about Atlantic City? No?
Speaker 5 (06:06):
What about Atlantic City?
Speaker 4 (06:08):
Well it's it's in New Jersey.
Speaker 9 (06:12):
Well, he'll be home many minutes and I'll ask him
all about.

fix anything special for me and just think of me
as one of the family. Goodbye, This is going to
be fun. Surprising Charlie. He loves surprises. I'll never forget
the night he sneaked a lot of his wax dummies
into my office to scare me the next morning and
did it. It would have if our night watchman hadn't
shot six something. He claimed. They pulled a knife on him.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Mister Dapple sounds like a keen guy.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
He is, Leroy, Good old Charlie, come along and meet him.

Oh, she won't give you any trouble, will you, sweet heart?
Speaker 9 (11:55):
Yes, well, Charlie will probably be here before I return.
Speaker 8 (11:59):
Oh and he isn't. Just heat the baby's bottle in
ten minutes, take the boast out of the oven, and
a quarter of an hour. Then light a fire under
the suit, and if a cod package comes it's all right.
Speaker 9 (12:09):
To pay for it and even gets any cooler. Phone
down to the janitor for more heat.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
Light a fire under the janitor, put the cod in
the oven. Phone down for the baby's bottle.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
You're doing it all wrong. You're supposed to fold it
the other.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Way, Leroy. I know which way it folds, after all,
I used to be a baby myself. I don't get fidgety, Gertie.
Remember rome wasn't built in today.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Careful what that safety pin? Uncle? More?
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Oh my, why don't these things come with zippers?
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Yes, mother's little leg of lamb.
Speaker 5 (13:08):
You better hurry up. Uncle morre Church, who was getting
restless and cold too.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Well, it's her own fault. She keeps kicking it off.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
Well, if you can't pin it, why don't you just
leave it off all together?
Speaker 4 (13:17):
No, Leroy, we've got a pin. Girdford down some way
with this blanket. Ah, there we are. I wonder what
makes her do that.
Speaker 5 (13:28):
Maybe she's just born with everything. But she isn't yelling.
She's yawning.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Well that's because she should be sleeping, Leroy. Possibly if
I told her some little anecdote that might put her asleep.
It always works at the Rotary Club.
Speaker 5 (13:42):
Why did you just try singing her to sleep?
Speaker 4 (13:44):
That's a fine idea, friends have told me. My voice
reminds them of a meadow lark singing bass.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Okay, mat with all eyes?
Speaker 4 (13:53):
All right? What would you think of a sleep in
the deep? You know many brave hearts? Or sleep in
the deep? Too deep? How about rock a Bye Baby?
Speaker 5 (14:11):
Go ahead and for more?
Speaker 4 (14:12):
All right, let me see. I think it goes, rock
a Bye Baby in the tree top. Yeah, in the windlows,
the cradle will run. I can't remember how the rest goes.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
We'll come baby, cradle and all.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Yeah, that's it. Rockabye Gertrude on the tree top.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
She's going to sleep.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
Say you better not stop when the bough breaks, the
cradle goes, lower your.
Speaker 5 (14:47):
Door, swell un sing it once more.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
Rock a Bye Baby. Let's go, ye, Roy, she's closing
her eyes, So let's tiptoe into the other room.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Oh my boy, let's wait here till Bobby she shuts.
Look out for that pen.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Oh nuts, rock by baby? Oh what's the use I
(15:34):
have been singing till my tonsils are loose.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
You better give up on whatever it is that kid
wants it et a meadow lark that sings bass.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
I'm afraid you're right, Leroy.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
See, if this takes much longer, we won't see those
two pictures before.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Dinner, Leroy. If this takes much longer, we won't eat
and see dinner. I better call home and tell your
sister will be late, and the hand me that telephone. Yeah, idea,
you're playing nurse and aide to a baby. Fine thing. Hello,
Oh hello, Marjorie, looks like Leroy. And I'll be a
little late for dinner tonight, my dear. We stopped in
to see an old friend.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
Who's that your old friend?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
No, it's good fruit. She's just a baby, yeah, Leroy
and I are taking care of her for missus Napple.
She's out taking care of the gas. Yes, and we're
even taking care of the cookie.
Speaker 10 (16:27):
Oh, you uncle Moore taking care of the cookie.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Yes. I was supposed to take the roast out of
the oven and put the soup on the fire, but
I had to put the soup in the oven because
the roast was on fire. Oh, poor uncle Moore.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Yeah, have you been having much trouble? With the baby.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
Well, I've been singing Rockabye Baby to her, but something
tells me she'd prefer there'll be some changes made.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
I think I better come over and help you.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
That's a marvelous idea, and bring berdie Marjorie and maybe
she can patch up the dinner I've ruined. All right?
Speaker 5 (16:59):
Oh, I think I'm what's wrong with that baby? It's
probably hungry hungry?
Speaker 4 (17:03):
See I never thought of that. Let me have a look.
Oh my goodness, that's what it must be. Marjorie, hurry
over quickly. Well, girt, wo'd so hungry. She's trying to
swallow her.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Foot and a miss Have you got that all straight?
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Now?
Speaker 5 (17:30):
I think so?
Speaker 8 (17:31):
Missus dapple.
Speaker 10 (17:31):
We're to shut off the gas at one forty seven
hour this afternoon and turn it on at thirty two
fourteen winslow?
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Is that right correct?
Speaker 9 (17:38):
We're moving away from the Olive Street apartment tonight, and
I don't want.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Any slip up. Oh, there won't be.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
Oh now, can I change my light and water here too?
Speaker 10 (17:45):
No, the light and water company's down at tenth and
Spring Streets.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
Oh dear, well, that'll take me an hour. I left
someone with my baby, and I promised to be right back.
Speaker 8 (17:54):
Oh, well, they'll just have to wait.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Really, Marjorie, the way you handle that baby is a
revelation to me.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
Yeah, you're certainly tidy with a.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Didy Where did you ever learn all that? My dear?
Speaker 10 (18:19):
Oh, I took child psychology in school, yes, but Gertrude didn't.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
How did you ever two get together?
Speaker 10 (18:24):
It was easy in dealing with hysteria and psychonerosis. In
the field of speculating philosophy relating to the young, the
prime factor was a thorough understanding of the mental and
nervous processes of the infant mind.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Simple, isn't it?
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Uh? Either it is or I am say? Leroy? How's
Bertie doing?
Speaker 5 (18:43):
Oh? Bertie? How's everything?
Speaker 4 (18:45):
Well?
Speaker 5 (18:45):
As a kid consider it?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Considering what Bertie? The cupboards?
Speaker 5 (18:49):
I was wrong with a cupboard here? Bertie?
Speaker 11 (18:51):
Well, from the looks on, these folks seems to have
a mighty fine assortment of nothing nothing?
Speaker 4 (18:57):
What do you mean? Make yourself plain?
Speaker 11 (18:58):
Okay, I've be's but it's don't sound ugly. These folks
ha got just to buy enough food in that kitchen
for one meal?
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Do you mean that missus Dapple's cupboard is empty? Mad?
Speaker 5 (19:09):
That cupboard.
Speaker 11 (19:09):
Couldn't be any bad than if that lady's name was Hubbard.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Oh this is terrible. I never dreamed for a moment
they were destitute.
Speaker 8 (19:17):
What are we going to do?
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Uncle Mare?
Speaker 4 (19:18):
Don't worry, I'll fix things up, Marjorie at Bertie, take
this ten dollar bill down to the nearest store and
buy a lot of groceries.
Speaker 11 (19:24):
Yes, better make out a list, yes, and can good
welcome more?
Speaker 5 (19:28):
That's terribly sweet of you.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
And some sugar. It's nothing, my dear. I get a
lump in my throat, dump sugar and a sinking feeling
in my heart Bacon soda when I think of what's ahead.
Speaker 11 (19:42):
They hit a cabbage, Yes.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Sir, it brings the tears to my eyes and onions.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
I suppose they just gradually got into death and couldn't
catch up. That's it, they couldn't catch up. Bertie, are
you still here? You better get going. Take Leroy along
to help you to carry the bundle. Hurry out the
back way. I'll bet that's my old pal now. And
will I clap hands if here comes Charly, I'll see here, dapple.
Speaker 12 (20:09):
We've exhausted off patience with you. Why do you ignore
our letters? Why do you hang up with me telephone?
Why don't you be a man and make your payments
on that piano like you promised.
Speaker 4 (20:16):
No see here, mister, I'm not dappled, but by George,
if I was and you used that phone, I'd cuff
you around and you'd crawl back into the woodwork.
Speaker 12 (20:25):
Oh yeah, well, if you're not Dapple, what do you
care how I talk to them?
Speaker 4 (20:28):
You your big glimp Ooh he's my friend, and you
can't abuse an absent friend in my presence, especially if
he isn't here. Not a loud huh. Oh that's right,
that's so loud, mister. If you want to fight, just
step inside.
Speaker 12 (20:41):
Okay, but this time, when I leave, I'm taking that.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Piano with me over my dead body. That makes it
even more attractive. One more crack like that, and I'll
shove that swollen zither down your noisy throat. You take
your hat off and state your business before I forget
my manners and bop you on the smeller. No, take
it easy, chubbsy.
Speaker 12 (21:02):
My name is Baxter at the Summerfield washing machine at
Piano Company. Now, this fellow Dapple has been buying this
piano pumis on the installment fan only he kept up
his payments.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Well, I happen to know that mister Dapple has been
up against it pretty badly lately. Couldn't you just kind
of forget the payments this month? Forget it?
Speaker 12 (21:16):
How can I have got a memory like an elephant?
Speaker 4 (21:18):
Yeh, a hide like one too. All right, then, how
much is the payment? I'll give it to you myself.
Oh no, you won't.
Speaker 12 (21:25):
According to our contract, once a payment is defaulted, the
entire remaining balance becomes automatically due.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
Oh my goodness, how much is he still on it?
Speaker 11 (21:31):
Now?
Speaker 12 (21:31):
Let's see, I've got it right here?
Speaker 5 (21:33):
It's seventy four dollars.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Seventy four dollars more. Why that mahogany monstrosity over there
was never worth that in the first place.
Speaker 12 (21:39):
Either I get the money or res a piano.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Yes, I think you mean it. Well, Charlie Dapple help
me up when I was getting started, so I can't
let him down when he's just about finished. I'll write
your check for the seventy four dollars. Let's see. That'll
leave me with a balance of twenty eight cents. And
(22:05):
now there's somebody at the back door. I better go
see I'm coming you, blasted woodpecker. Excuse me on the
gas man, don't want any I got enough gas. I
come to shut it off, shut it off, didn't missus.
Daple call at your office this afternoon, probably to pay
the bill.
Speaker 7 (22:21):
Look, brother, I'm a guy who sticks strictly to his
own job. I gotta order saying tiney off gas at
tapple apart month one for seven Olives Street.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
And that's what I'm gonna do. Brother. Well, let's not
be too hasty about this. Brother, I suppose I pay
the bill to you right now.
Speaker 7 (22:40):
No, I ain't allowed to take no money. You don't understand, brother.
I'm just the guy who gets orders to tine gas
on to tiny it off. Then I go where it
says and I turn gas on or else I turn
it off.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
That's all I do. Sounds mighty monotonous. I like being monotonous.
Look here, brother, by the way, what's your name, hymen?
Peebles Herman peoples, Look here, herbie peoples live here too,
simple peoples, the kindly peoples, the salt of the earth.
(23:18):
That things have been a little top for him lately,
and there's another mouth to feed too. You mean, yes,
that's what I mean. A tiny baby named little Gertrude.
Think what would mean the poor little Gertrude if she
didn't have any gas, no hot milk, no hot water,
no hot air.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
It's tough.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Yes, winter is approaching to Herbie, need I say more?
Speaker 7 (23:43):
No, No, don't worry, miss time. I'm not gonna shut
off the dance the other day. You're not, No, I
just can't.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Well, I'm certainly certainly glad.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
I convinced you wasn't you missed, just remembered I left
my toes at the office.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Say when are we going to that movie?
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Just as soon as the dapple shows its nose through
that door.
Speaker 11 (24:17):
I don't cook this rib ro so long it's done,
shrunk down to the size of a lamb chop.
Speaker 5 (24:22):

Speaker 4 (24:26):
It's them. I'll get the door.
Speaker 12 (24:29):
Wait, come for the finiture to take it away.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
This is the last straw.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Don't let them do this to little girls.
Speaker 4 (24:35):
Run you're right, leroy. You men can't do this to
a poor, little, helpless baby.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
We ain't doing nothing.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
No, no, baby, take the other under this solfit, Terry
got it. Don't get all the way mister Bye George,
you're not going to get away with this uncle.
Speaker 5 (24:45):

Speaker 4 (24:47):
I was just trying to help him in out there.
Don't do us no favorites. We'll help ourselves. Talk careful
coming out of that door, Terry. Okay, quickly, Roy locked
the door. We got to figure out some way to
prevent him from stripping the apartment.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Miss Giselely, he.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Did come in the back end and says she's Miss Davil.
Speaker 9 (25:02):
Yes, she comes now, oh last, Oh, thank you ever
so much, mister Guildecon.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
That's all right. Where's Charlie?
Speaker 9 (25:10):
Well, I can't imagine unless he's all of course, this
was his Saturday to work late at the office.
Speaker 8 (25:17):
But he'll be here any minute now, that is, if
he comes straight home.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
He better come straight home. There are a couple of men
roaming around trying to repossess your furniture.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
Repossess our furniture. Well, I can't imagine. Oh why you
must mean the moving man.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Yeah, they're moving men. They're trying to move everything you
got right out of here.
Speaker 8 (25:34):
Well, of course we're moving over to Winslow Avenue today.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Oh my goodness, how can Charlie do this to me?
And what about the piano? The collector tried to take
it away, but I stopped him when you should have.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
Let him have it. We just played it to break
our leave.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Here your lease in my pocketbook, madam.
Speaker 9 (25:50):
Well, we better hurry up and get ready to leave.
Did the men come to turn.
Speaker 5 (25:53):
Off the gas?
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (25:54):
And you should have seen him turn on my tears.
Speaker 8 (25:58):
Oh there's my house.
Speaker 9 (26:01):
There's something about the way he knocks that I can
always recognize.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
At last, and missus dapple, I've been waiting for this
moment all afternoon. Do you mind if I hide in
the dining room and then when good old Charlie comes in,
I'll jump out and yell surprise please, that's all I
have left?
Speaker 8 (26:16):
Well, that'll be cute.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
Right ahead, leroy, mind, Prettie. I want you to get
in on this, right Come on.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Hello, Charlie Darling.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Oh sweetheart, what's the idea of keeping the door out?
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Well?
Speaker 8 (26:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (26:31):
In fact, I don't know half of what's been going
on around here. But come into the living room, dear,
there's a little surprise for you.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Surprise what do you mean? Where's the surprise? Oh, surprise, Charlie, surprise, Eh,
where's Holly? I'm Charlie hol On thander you. Oh my goodness,
what's the matter. It's that man I never saw him before.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
He's the wrong Charli Dapple, the Great Guilder Sleeve will
(27:11):
be with us again in a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
But first, I wonder why I always talk.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
To the ladies in our audience, because, after all, some
of us men aren't such bad cooks. Why I can
fry a wonderful egg. I can even make pretty good biscuits.
So really, we men should know about delicious Parkae margarine too,
So this is for men only. Next time you men
feel like whipping up a batch of biscuits, use Parkae
margarine made by Craft. You see Parkae margarine as a
(27:36):
real flavor shortening. It adds flavor to all baked foods,
so no wonder the wifes. Cookies and cakes taste better
when made with parquet. And if you like pan fried foods,
you'll find their tastier too when you use Parkae margarine.
And you don't have to worry about parks spattering or
sticking to the pan. Of course, you want to use
Parkae margarine at the table for you'll like its delicate,
(27:58):
appetizing flavor. Now, maybe you men aren't as interested in
nutrition as the women are, but you should know that
park margarine is a nourishing energy food that contains vitamin A.
So man, if you can't find park margarine at home,
buy a pound or two tomorrow. You will be pleased
to learn that it's mighty economical too. Just ask the
dealer for Park p A r K A Y.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Yeah. Well just a second till I find my key children.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
I'm tired. Hey, somebody put a note under the door.
It's for you, Uncle Moore.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Well, no day, I wonder who it's from. Dear pal Trockey.
George Fiddy just told me you were in town, so
I dropped over to see you. Sorry I missed your
old Palin's sidekick, Charlie Dapple You good night.
