spilled a bucket of water on him. Wouldn't the glass of water have been
(03:13):
enough? You ever noticed the sizeof Doc's Richard glass of water? And
them limitine type seat covers wouldn't hardlymake a wet spot. Anyhow, he
took the pants down to the furnaceroom and swiped the Casey got cuddled around
in a pair of red and whitestripe and short. The wonder he didn't
catch cold? Well, he shouldhave seen him, or maybe you shouldn't

see if there wasn't something else likean give old doctor Christmas these books he'll
love. Well, that's a generousthought, What are they here? All
(12:22):
my favorites. Here's Tarzan's other Ace, Here's the Rover Boys with King Peruke.
Here's Tom Swift and his mechanical limppicker. Ah, these are the
(12:46):
prize books of the litter. I'veseen the way you keep your books here,
and litter is the word. Allright, Hi, here's sweet.
Though you aren't fond of the doctor, Oh sure, I love every ton
of him. Me and Old Iget it off the first time I looked
into his eyes and he looked downmy throat. It was a long time
ago, but I'll never forget it. Ten years ago or more. We
(13:07):
just come to with this. ThenI had a back ache and I saw
his sign, doctor George Gamble.I went in and told Doc what was
wrong, and he smiled a friendlysmile and put a friendly hand on my
shoulder and come and click friendship.No, my spine, give me a
wrench. That darn near busted mylilyac cured my back ache, though,
So I told him just to mailme a bill, and I sent him
(13:30):
a check. I will too oneof these days. Leave me kiddle.
When I make a promise to promisehigh it's about time you got here,
We're almost ready to go to doc. Did you bring the decorations, mister
Wilcox, Where are they? Whereare they off the car? Molly got
a briefcase full. Oh and youshould put Christmas tree nam us in a
(13:50):
briefcase. You will smash them,Not these, Molly. I'm going to
dress up that tree and dress upthe room with Renolds wraps. That beautiful
gleaming aluminum boil. I should havebought candy cane. Wait a minute,
Look, Reynold's wrap can be usedfor Christmas decorations in dozens of ways.
For instance, you can wrap thingsin it and hang them on the tree.
Yeah, what kind of things youwrap in a nutstol? Well nuts
(14:13):
to you too? No? No, well nutstyle. Reynald's wrap turns them
into beautiful shining ornaments. It's almostmagical. Away that gleaming foil dresses up
a house at Christmas. I wouldn'thave a grip without Reynold's wrap. Come
to think of it, I guesswe wouldn't either. You can tie shining
(14:41):
bows of it on your Christmas wreath. You can drape it over the mantel,
you can spread it out under thepunch bowl. I'll take the old
fashioned Christmas for mine with Uncle Dennisspread out under the punch bowl. Now,
never mind uncle dinner. I thinkhe Reynolds wrap decorations sound lovely,
miss, but you haven't heard mybest. I'm going to build a winter

it's cut water in it. Sono lake. But wait a minute,
(15:24):
Reynolds rat lake is better than alake with water no leak, Well leak
or no leak? I no like? So no lake. Well, I'm
going to make a Reynolds wrap lakewith no leak. If you no like,
you know what you can do?What no? Look, that's I
(15:45):
intend to make full use of Reynoldsraft, made by the world's largest producer
of aluminum faill, the Reynolds MetalsCompany. Everybody should get an extra supply

Ostrian. Oh he always has aglass in one hand and another glass screwed

(09:33):

A three dollars from Bessie yesterday justto get his spat half sold. Millennia,
I hope you got a nice treatthe doctor's house. Oh, it's

line of pre experts, and infact all the Papa's folks spent most of
(09:56):
their time hanging around big trees.Yeah, by their next probably no,
by their tale. That's my favoritejoke, John, how telling is the
party? Can I come? Kid? Jillianails from the orchestra, a special
(10:20):
rangement familiar Christmas melodies. I can'twait to get over the docks and get
(12:00):
started putting up the tree and everythingalmost time to go in. It's prett
near. I'm just tasting Christmas ealson his presence. I put the fruitcake
in this, the beer out inthe front hall. What do you got
there? Oh? Books? I'vebeen looking through my own special treasures to
see if there wasn't something else likean give old doctor Christmas these books he'll
love. Well, that's a generousthought, What are they here? All
(12:22):
my favorites. Here's Tarzan's other Ace, Here's the Rover Boys with King Peruke.
Here's Tom Swift and his mechanical limppicker. Ah, these are the
(12:46):
prize books of the litter. I'veseen the way you keep your books here,
and litter is the word. Allright, Hi, here's sweet.
Though you aren't fond of the doctor, Oh sure, I love every ton
of him. Me and Old Iget it off the first time I looked
into his eyes and he looked downmy throat. It was a long time
ago, but I'll never forget it. Ten years ago or more. We
(13:07):
just come to with this. ThenI had a back ache and I saw
his sign, doctor George Gamble.I went in and told Doc what was
wrong, and he smiled a friendlysmile and put a friendly hand on my
shoulder and come and click friendship.No, my spine, give me a
wrench. That darn near busted mylilyac cured my back ache, though,
So I told him just to mailme a bill, and I sent him
(13:30):
a check. I will too oneof these days. Leave me kiddle.
When I make a promise to promisehigh it's about time you got here,
We're almost ready to go to doc. Did you bring the decorations, mister
Wilcox, Where are they? Whereare they off the car? Molly got
a briefcase full. Oh and youshould put Christmas tree nam us in a
(13:50):
briefcase. You will smash them,Not these, Molly. I'm going to
dress up that tree and dress upthe room with Renolds wraps. That beautiful
gleaming aluminum boil. I should havebought candy cane. Wait a minute,
Look, Reynold's wrap can be usedfor Christmas decorations in dozens of ways.
For instance, you can wrap thingsin it and hang them on the tree.
Yeah, what kind of things youwrap in a nutstol? Well nuts
(14:13):
to you too? No? No, well nutstyle. Reynald's wrap turns them
into beautiful shining ornaments. It's almostmagical. Away that gleaming foil dresses up
a house at Christmas. I wouldn'thave a grip without Reynold's wrap. Come
to think of it, I guesswe wouldn't either. You can tie shining
(14:41):
bows of it on your Christmas wreath. You can drape it over the mantel,
you can spread it out under thepunch bowl. I'll take the old
fashioned Christmas for mine with Uncle Dennisspread out under the punch bowl. Now,
never mind uncle dinner. I thinkhe Reynolds wrap decorations sound lovely,
miss, but you haven't heard mybest. I'm going to build a winter

of Reynolds raft to make a sparklinglake. No, no Junior, no

be a lake because you no like? Right, lake ain't a lake unless
it's cut water in it. Sono lake. But wait a minute,
(15:24):
Reynolds rat lake is better than alake with water no leak, Well leak
or no leak? I no like? So no lake. Well, I'm
going to make a Reynolds wrap lakewith no leak. If you no like,
you know what you can do?What no? Look, that's I
(15:45):
intend to make full use of Reynoldsraft, made by the world's largest producer
of aluminum faill, the Reynolds MetalsCompany. Everybody should get an extra supply
for the holidays because okay, okay, okay, but terrific, As the
