Speaker 3 (12:11):
Well, we're fraid favor has used up all the time
for our commercial announcement, so we are going to forget
it and present an unusual feature. It isn't often that
the president of a big corporation makes a personal appearance
before the microphone on his own radio program, and probably
never before has the head of an important company brought
you news of so spectacular and unusual an enterprise as
(12:32):
that about which you will now hear. We have the
honor and pleasure of introducing to you mister Herbert F. Johnston,
Junior President of St. Johnson and Unincorporated, who will tell
you briefly of his forthcoming scientific expedition by airplane to
the little known regions of northeastern Brazil. Mister Johnson, thanks you,
(12:53):
mister Rocock. I'm happy to have this opportunity to talk
for a minute to some money friends and customers of
our company. After a year of careful planning, we expect
to leave this country from Miami about first of October
the twin motored Sykarski Amphibian plane for northeastern Brazil. Our
trip will consume about two months. It is primarily for
(13:14):
the purpose of establishing closer contact with the only source
to supply of the principal raw material used in the
manufacturer of Johnson's Wax and locals. Cannuba wax, the tough,
long wearing product of the Canoba palm tree from the
third section of Brazil, is used as a basic wax
in our products, which many of you have used for
years for preserving Flora's furniture and automobiles. The personnel expedition
(13:36):
ensues two pilots, our research chemists, our pursing director, and
doctor B. E. Dawgreen, curator about me of the Field
Museum here in Chicago. Complete photographic equipment be carried, as
well as scientific equipment and the field laboratory. The plane
carries the Pan American two way radio set and all
the lated safety devices. Gasline supply bases have been established
(13:58):
at five points in Brazil, and before our return we
expect to fire about twenty five thousand miles over regions
where a very few white men have ever been. We
expected our trip will not only yield important scientific data,
but will specifically ensure a future supply of the highest
great Canoba wax so that we can continue to manufacture
better products for American house fires. Thank you, Thank you, mister,
(14:28):
and I'm sure that everybody listening in tonight will join
with me in wishing you good luck and happy landing. Now,
Marchelly and the Johnson Merryman tip that top hats to
be modern, as they give us peak to peak.

Speaker 8 (17:32):

back port?
Speaker 9 (17:35):
No?
Speaker 12 (17:38):

there and read the paper than to have a clean
house to live in?
Speaker 6 (17:43):
Is this?
Speaker 10 (17:43):
McGee?

Speaker 12 (17:57):
Well, then what difference does it make now about that
back portreet?

A paper? I wish you just look down at your floor.
Do they have a beautiful place? Or are they beginning
to get dull and shabby? You can make them look
like you again in a few minutes time if you
use Johnson's blow Coat. This wonderful new liquid polish works
like magic on thenoleum or wood floors right before your eyes.
It changes unattractive floors to bright, shining floors and saves
(28:12):
you all the worth of rubbing and buffing. Blow Coats
dries in twenty minutes and shines as it dries without
help from you. Once your floors and thenoleum are protected
with blow coats, they stay clean for weeks at a time.
Curtain dust can't stick to the beautiful, gleaming polish. By
the way, your dealer is making a special offer right
now a can of blow coat and a long handled
(28:33):
a fire and a saving of one third the regular price.
Be sure you see on the attractive yellow can the
name Johnson's glow Coats. We want you to be back

or from the studio E to Fibber McGhee at seventy
nine West for Vista, where our hero has started to

Speaker 8 (03:35):
Where's that wire go from here? Momy down the wall and.
Speaker 9 (03:37):
Under the cellar chairs?
Speaker 8 (03:38):
McGee, Oh, come on down and kill me?
Speaker 9 (03:41):
Here's going up on the next where up here?
Speaker 8 (03:44):
I don't feel nothing, McGhee.
Speaker 10 (03:46):

Speaker 9 (03:53):

Take me out of it?
Speaker 9 (03:54):

There's your trouble money, that's why she won't ring.
Speaker 12 (04:14):
And what's the bear spot and the wires got to
do with it? It's touching nothing that I can see.
Speaker 8 (04:19):
I don't make no difference.
Speaker 11 (04:21):
It's the insulation that holds the electricity into the wire.
When the insulation's wore off, so's juicefully tough.
Speaker 8 (04:29):
I'm right, didn't know that money.
Speaker 11 (04:31):
Why when I was into the Signal Corps ober into France,

You see that they're.
Speaker 8 (05:01):
Flash of blue light?
Speaker 11 (05:02):
Money?
Speaker 9 (05:02):
Did I see it?
Speaker 8 (05:03):
That means the wire is dead in the negative pool.
Give us a pink life. When the positive wires dead,
I'll ever forget the time.
Speaker 10 (05:12):
Oh why are you hurt?
Speaker 9 (05:13):
For heels?
Speaker 10 (05:14):

onto my work. That's see now, Positive negatives you see, Miley,
goal's gotta wind the tape.
Speaker 8 (05:50):
From right to left like this here. It's the well known.
Speaker 11 (05:53):
Fact that electricity pushed from right to left and goes.

On the wire, so you gotta be careful to keep
it there. Hey, we'll fix let's go.

Well, for once, McGee, you fix something. Congratulation, so long
with it.
Speaker 8 (06:21):
When it comes to electricity. I'm the Emperor's ramper. Where's
the doorbell? Is that up over the store there?
Speaker 9 (06:30):
It is that?
Speaker 8 (06:31):
You know what I'd like to do, Molly?
Speaker 9 (06:32):
What's that?

Speaker 3 (12:11):
Well, we're fraid favor has used up all the time
for our commercial announcement, so we are going to forget
it and present an unusual feature. It isn't often that
the president of a big corporation makes a personal appearance
before the microphone on his own radio program, and probably
never before has the head of an important company brought
you news of so spectacular and unusual an enterprise as
(12:32):
that about which you will now hear. We have the
honor and pleasure of introducing to you mister Herbert F. Johnston,
Junior President of St. Johnson and Unincorporated, who will tell
you briefly of his forthcoming scientific expedition by airplane to
the little known regions of northeastern Brazil. Mister Johnson, thanks you,
(12:53):
mister Rocock. I'm happy to have this opportunity to talk
for a minute to some money friends and customers of
our company. After a year of careful planning, we expect
to leave this country from Miami about first of October
the twin motored Sykarski Amphibian plane for northeastern Brazil. Our
trip will consume about two months. It is primarily for
(13:14):
the purpose of establishing closer contact with the only source
to supply of the principal raw material used in the
manufacturer of Johnson's Wax and locals. Cannuba wax, the tough,
long wearing product of the Canoba palm tree from the
third section of Brazil, is used as a basic wax
in our products, which many of you have used for
years for preserving Flora's furniture and automobiles. The personnel expedition
(13:36):
ensues two pilots, our research chemists, our pursing director, and
doctor B. E. Dawgreen, curator about me of the Field
Museum here in Chicago. Complete photographic equipment be carried, as
well as scientific equipment and the field laboratory. The plane
carries the Pan American two way radio set and all
the lated safety devices. Gasline supply bases have been established
(13:58):
at five points in Brazil, and before our return we
expect to fire about twenty five thousand miles over regions
where a very few white men have ever been. We
expected our trip will not only yield important scientific data,
but will specifically ensure a future supply of the highest
great Canoba wax so that we can continue to manufacture
better products for American house fires. Thank you, Thank you, mister,
(14:28):
and I'm sure that everybody listening in tonight will join
with me in wishing you good luck and happy landing. Now,
Marchelly and the Johnson Merryman tip that top hats to
be modern, as they give us peak to peak.
Speaker 13 (15:52):
I'm in heaven and my heart is told if I
don't money.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
See back to wives now, and we find Molly donning
(16:50):

in favor of the afternoon paper.
Speaker 9 (17:04):
Paper. Maggie, Yes, my love, did you speak to me?
Speaker 12 (17:13):

Speaker 8 (17:32):
I'm glad you asked me that money you see the
back port?
Speaker 9 (17:35):
No?
Speaker 12 (17:38):
And is it more important to you, Mcgie to step
there and read the paper than to have a clean
house to live in?
Speaker 6 (17:43):
Is this?
Speaker 10 (17:43):
McGee?
Speaker 8 (17:44):

Speaker 12 (17:57):
Well, then what difference does it make now about that
back portreet?
