to chase after me. Hey, what's this postcard?

How hello, missus Uppington.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
How do you do my dear, mister McGhee, Why, uppy?
Speaker 6 (08:25):
I was just going downtown to select a new fraw
a lamp. Missus McGhee, would you care to go along?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Well? Now, wait a minute, duffy, don't go throwing your
door away. Now let me handle this for you. I
can get forty percent off on any merchandise.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Now wait a minute, mcgi how much you want to
pay for a floor lampuppy? Mister McGhie.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
When I want something, I am not one to come
to cost with me. Money is no object whatsoever. I
want the best and I'm perfectly willing to pay for it,
But if possible, try and keep it under seven dollars.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Cat choh on, McGhee, be as reckless as you like,
as long as you're careful. What kind of a lamp
do you want to have? Again? Will I dea?
Speaker 6 (09:04):
I'd rather had in mind one with a marble and
bronze bee, a fluted gold leaf column, a cluster of
five bugs with an indirect fixture at the top, a
large beige monks cloth shade, perhaps surmounted by a small
jade ornament.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yeah, you had that mine for seven bucks? Yes, yes,
I did. Would you go to eight fifty if it
had melvoyn Douglas shinneying up the post to turn it on?
Speaker 6 (09:30):
For Yes, as long as you can get it wholesale,
miss McGee, you may even go as high as ten
dollars if necessary. Now that would mount to uh six dollars,
I believe.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
With a discount. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
And if I see a nice pair of flyers for
about two bits, you want those? Two? Huppy?
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Why should she want a pair of flyers? Mecgee?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Oh, I hate to see anybody pinching pennies like this
with their bare hands.

Speaker 4 (14:19):

to him, deary, you'd better go downtown and look for
a job. Oh well, all right, what's hard?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Look at this swell box of cigars? Would this make
a nice gift, or wouldn't it say?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Them are pretty snarky stogies hardow twenty five centers. I
could tell more about them if I, oh.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Put those back. These are for a gift?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Is it somebody special, mister Wilcott.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I'll say, Mom, it's more of a prize than a gift. Really,
I'm presenting them to the man who coined the slogan.
Your linoleum will be your pride if Johnson's glowcoat is applied.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Oh were you having your contest?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Well, no, not exactly, but I thought it was pretty good.
You see, it implies the whole story of Johnson's self
polishing glow coat.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Get this, folks, it's the stuff that keeps Wilcox working,
you waiting, and us eating.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
I'm serious, fibber.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
That's the.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Vast slogan almost tells the whole story of glow coat.
How easy it is to apply, how it dries to
a beautiful finish in twenty minutes or less with no
rubbing or buffing, and heart keeps your linoleum from cracking,
checking fading, and soiling. It saves your Nikels and saves
your knuckles. And you'll linoleum never cracks and buckles.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Ooh, I think it's well worth a box of cigars
for that slogans?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, who's the smart smoker that donated that little hunk
of poetic promotion? Hodle me you you yep thought of
it coming down the street and bought myself a box
of cigars as a reward.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Well, won't you get any longer? Boy?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Does he appreciate him?
Speaker 4 (16:35):
You know, I think it's wonderful McGee how he keeps
so interested in his job.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Yeah, it'll be all right if he kept his enthusiasm
to himself. But he's got Billy Mills doing it too.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
How do you mean?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Well? I saw Billy up with a galle the other
night and was he pouring it on and spreading it around?
Come in, hello, miss mcghe, Hello, oh mayor lot trivia?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
How do you do well? I'm sure what do we
do for you that won't take along with trivia? Oh?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Nothing, thank him. I was just taking a walk and
thought i'd drop in a moment as may you know.
I like to walk around the city and mingle with
the common citizens, sort of like Haru now Rushi.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Oh, yes, who's he? Uh?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Harou now Rushi was an oriental potentat in the Arabian Nights,
Oh he was eh.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
And what did this oriental potato do with trivia?
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (17:26):
He mixed with the people and listened to what they
were saying, so he'd know what was going on among
the populace. Didn't you ever read the Arabian Nights?
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Why? Of course not me. He can't read Arabian.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Anyway. By the time I get through reading bringing up
Father and Flash Gordon and Smoky Stover, I'm all wore.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Out, very amusing in a pathetic sort of way. By
the way, and do you know where I can buy
a large globe of the world for my office?
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Why?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Sure, La trivia, I can get you on wholesale. How
much you want to pay for a good.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Globe, it doesn't matter much, McGee, as long as I
get a good one. Things are happening so fast these days.
I like to keep in pall.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
You want a glow with Japan all of mister mayor certain, Well,
then you better get one quick.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, you'll leave it to me, La trivia. I'll see
that you get a good one. Chief, I got connection.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Blendar, thank you very much. I'll try to return the
paper sometimes.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Hey, how about that job in the city hall you
promised me?
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Oh did the mayor promise you a job?
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Did practically?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
He says he was looking for a smart, level headed
man to look in on the higher ups in the
interests of clean government.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Oh oh yes, yes, the window washing job man, that's
been filled. McGhee, a good day, goodbye.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
It's rare.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Wow, window washing job? Who does he think I am?
Speaker 4 (19:11):
He thinks you're the man who wanted the window washing job.
Let me take that shopping list again to gee? Yeah,
Now what have we a radio for floor lamp, a
globe and a shop gun? Yeah, ah, civilization and a nutshell?
Are we gonna get all this stuff home?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Or imagine they'll deliver it to the different people for well,
let's they don't.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
We can stick up a truck driver with a shotgun.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Yeah, or I could bop him with the floor lamp
and on off of the globe.
Speaker 4 (19:35):

Martha Tilton singing the last time I saw Paris.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
The last time I saw Paris, her heart was warm
and gay. I heard the laughter of her heart in
every street cafe.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
The last time I saw Paris.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Her trees were dressed for spring, and lovers walked beneath
those trees.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
And birds found songs to sing.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
I dodged the same old taxi calves that I had
dodged for years. The chorus of their squeaky horns was
using to my The last timers saw Peril, her heart
(24:16):
was warm and gay. No matter how they changed her,
I'll remember her.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Live way.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
I think of happy hour, the people who shared them,
whole women selling flowers in markets at dawn, children who
applauded punks and judy in the park, and those who
dance at night and kept their peris ry.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Then the town went the last time. I hope.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
Her heart was warm and gay. No matter how they change,
I'll remember.

that store. I couldn't see what I was buying.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Did you hear what he said about exchanging merchandise?
Speaker 1 (26:26):

big discount like that, he can't afford to keep taking
stuff back.

pay for a floor lampuppy? Mister McGhie.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
When I want something, I am not one to come
to cost with me. Money is no object whatsoever. I
want the best and I'm perfectly willing to pay for it,
But if possible, try and keep it under seven dollars.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Cat choh on, McGhee, be as reckless as you like,
as long as you're careful. What kind of a lamp
do you want to have? Again? Will I dea?
Speaker 6 (09:04):
I'd rather had in mind one with a marble and
bronze bee, a fluted gold leaf column, a cluster of
five bugs with an indirect fixture at the top, a
large beige monks cloth shade, perhaps surmounted by a small
jade ornament.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yeah, you had that mine for seven bucks? Yes, yes,
I did. Would you go to eight fifty if it
had melvoyn Douglas shinneying up the post to turn it on?
Speaker 6 (09:30):
For Yes, as long as you can get it wholesale,
miss McGee, you may even go as high as ten
dollars if necessary. Now that would mount to uh six dollars,
I believe.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
With a discount. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
And if I see a nice pair of flyers for
about two bits, you want those? Two? Huppy?
Speaker 4 (09:53):

percent off ain't anything to snaret.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Who's laughing.

a job. Oh well, all right, what's hard?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Look at this swell box of cigars? Would this make
a nice gift, or wouldn't it say?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Them are pretty snarky stogies hardow twenty five centers. I
could tell more about them if I, oh.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Put those back. These are for a gift?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Is it somebody special, mister Wilcott.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I'll say, Mom, it's more of a prize than a gift. Really,
I'm presenting them to the man who coined the slogan.
Your linoleum will be your pride if Johnson's glowcoat is applied.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Oh were you having your contest?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Well, no, not exactly, but I thought it was pretty good.
You see, it implies the whole story of Johnson's self
polishing glow coat.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Get this, folks, it's the stuff that keeps Wilcox working,
you waiting, and us eating.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
I'm serious, fibber.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
That's the.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Vast slogan almost tells the whole story of glow coat.
How easy it is to apply, how it dries to
a beautiful finish in twenty minutes or less with no
rubbing or buffing, and heart keeps your linoleum from cracking,
checking fading, and soiling. It saves your Nikels and saves
your knuckles. And you'll linoleum never cracks and buckles.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Ooh, I think it's well worth a box of cigars
for that slogans?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, who's the smart smoker that donated that little hunk
of poetic promotion? Hodle me you you yep thought of
it coming down the street and bought myself a box
of cigars as a reward.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Well, won't you get any longer? Boy?
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Does he appreciate him?
Speaker 4 (16:35):
You know, I think it's wonderful McGee how he keeps
so interested in his job.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Yeah, it'll be all right if he kept his enthusiasm
to himself. But he's got Billy Mills doing it too.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
How do you mean?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Well? I saw Billy up with a galle the other
night and was he pouring it on and spreading it around?
Come in, hello, miss mcghe, Hello, oh mayor lot trivia?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
How do you do well? I'm sure what do we
do for you that won't take along with trivia? Oh?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Nothing, thank him. I was just taking a walk and
thought i'd drop in a moment as may you know.
I like to walk around the city and mingle with
the common citizens, sort of like Haru now Rushi.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Oh, yes, who's he? Uh?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Harou now Rushi was an oriental potentat in the Arabian Nights,
Oh he was eh.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
And what did this oriental potato do with trivia?
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (17:26):
He mixed with the people and listened to what they
were saying, so he'd know what was going on among
the populace. Didn't you ever read the Arabian Nights?
Speaker 4 (17:33):
Why? Of course not me. He can't read Arabian.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Anyway. By the time I get through reading bringing up
Father and Flash Gordon and Smoky Stover, I'm all wore.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Out, very amusing in a pathetic sort of way. By
the way, and do you know where I can buy
a large globe of the world for my office?
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Why?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Sure, La trivia, I can get you on wholesale. How
much you want to pay for a good.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Globe, it doesn't matter much, McGee, as long as I
get a good one. Things are happening so fast these days.
I like to keep in pall.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
You want a glow with Japan all of mister mayor certain, Well,
then you better get one quick.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Yeah, you'll leave it to me, La trivia. I'll see
that you get a good one. Chief, I got connection.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Blendar, thank you very much. I'll try to return the
paper sometimes.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Hey, how about that job in the city hall you
promised me?
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Oh did the mayor promise you a job?
Speaker 3 (18:44):
Did practically?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
He says he was looking for a smart, level headed
man to look in on the higher ups in the
interests of clean government.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Oh oh yes, yes, the window washing job man, that's
been filled. McGhee, a good day, goodbye.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
It's rare.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Wow, window washing job? Who does he think I am?
Speaker 4 (19:11):
He thinks you're the man who wanted the window washing job.
Let me take that shopping list again to gee? Yeah,
Now what have we a radio for floor lamp, a
globe and a shop gun? Yeah, ah, civilization and a nutshell?
Are we gonna get all this stuff home?
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Or imagine they'll deliver it to the different people for well,
let's they don't.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
We can stick up a truck driver with a shotgun.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Yeah, or I could bop him with the floor lamp
and on off of the globe.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
McGee love, who's here, mister Wimple? Hello, mister wimple by
a whimp old man. Hello day sir.
Speaker 9 (19:44):
Excuse me for walking right in, But my goodness, I

and gay. I heard the laughter of her heart in
every street cafe.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
The last time I saw Paris.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Her trees were dressed for spring, and lovers walked beneath
those trees.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
And birds found songs to sing.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
I dodged the same old taxi calves that I had
dodged for years. The chorus of their squeaky horns was
using to my The last timers saw Peril, her heart
(24:16):
was warm and gay. No matter how they changed her,
I'll remember her.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Live way.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
I think of happy hour, the people who shared them,
whole women selling flowers in markets at dawn, children who
applauded punks and judy in the park, and those who
dance at night and kept their peris ry.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
Then the town went the last time. I hope.
