Oh program starring Jack Benny with
Johnny green in his orchestra the or
control from the program of Jays own
tune I've got a heavy day
[Music]
everybody enjoys the goodness of price
fruit everybody enjoys the fresh fruit
goodness of jell-o so why not try
combining two for greater all-around
enjoyment you find sued rhubarb and
strawberry jell-o a delicious
combination using sliced bananas and
fresh strawberries miss around existing
mold wirings jello is another grand idea
and for a salad it's hard to beat shut
up oranges and grapefruit with lemon
jello any one or all of these
suggestions will bring you jealous
refreshing ripe fruit goodness in the
delightful new way no other gelatin
desserts can equal the extra rich fruit
flavor of genuine jello and you'll find
that rich full-bodied taste in all six
jello flavors so if you want the best
always ask for jello by name look for
the big red letters on the box they
spell jello

I can remember years ago when jello was
only half as rich as ever before
and didn't have that extra rich fresh
fruit flavor to Troodon to true ah yes
and I can remember when the big red
letters on the box were only little red
dots just beginning to grow up that's
right and the six delicious flavors were
just simple flavors little realizing
that someday someday they would grow up
to be the most popular Oh Don don't take
it too hard
I guess I'm just an old fool yeah I
can't help it Jack I know how you feel
Don I realize that he I didn't know Don
