BEST BROADCASTS OF 1939-40 Von Zell. — Henry Aldrich will be back with us in just a moment. Well, as the feller says, there’s a time for everything! And, folks, the season that lies just ahead of us is sure the time for parties! From Halloween in October, all the way through April Fools’ Day! And all of ’em mean good things to eat, too! Swell dishes like Jell-0 Butterscotch Pudding! You know, just about everybody is making Jell-0 Butterscotch Pudding a “part of the party” these days, the real guest of honor! And no wonder! This grand, golden dessert has a truly festive flavor that fits in with all kinds of fun and feast¬ ing! It has all the gay appearance of a party dish, too, espe¬ cially when served with snowy whipped cream, dark delicious dates, or maybe a sprinkling of shredded coconut! But the big thing is its marvelous mellow taste! That wonderful, buttery, brown-sugar flavor that everybody loves! So keep Jell-0 Butterscotch Pudding handy for all party occasions, along with those two other tempting desserts : smooth, delicate Jell-0 Vanilla and rich, glossy Jell-0 Chocolate Puddings! Then you’ll know why these new Jell-0 puddings are the dessert all America’s talking about! Music. — Sneaks in during last Jew sentences . . . then up to a finish. Mrs. Aldrich. — ( Calling ) Mary!
