Snooks: Who's he? Daddy: The man I'm telling you about! He represents our government and everything that's American! And his name is Uncle Sam! Snooks: Does he know Aunt Sophie? Daddy: No! Snooks: Why? Daddy: I don't know. The important thing is he wants your thirty cents! Snooks: Who does? Daddy: Uncle Sam? Snooks: Waaaahhhh. Daddy: What are you yelling about? Snooks: I ain't gonna give him my It's for your own benefit, If you buy Defense Stamps thirty cents you'll always money. Daddy: Snooks, for that have it. Snooks: I got it now, ain't I? Daddy: Yes, but you might spend it. If you buy stamps. Uncle Sam will get the money and return it to you. Snooks: Will he spend it? Daddy: Certainly. Snooks: No, he won't. Daddy: Why not? Snooks: 'Cause he ain't gonna get it. Daddy: Snooks, this is not only a saving proposition. Every real American should buy these Defense Stamps and Bonds, apart from the interest involved. Snooks: What's interest, Daddy? Daddy: It's a premium paid for the use of money — usually reckoned as a percentage. Like interest at five percent per annum of five thousand dollars. That means you got back two hundred and fifty dollars at the end of a year. Snooks: Two hundred and fifty dollars? Daddy: That's right. Snooks: How can they afford it for thirty cents? Daddy: Oh give me that money! Snooks: Waaaahhhhh! Daddy: Shhh! Give me three ten cent Defense Stamps, please. . . . Thank you very much. . . . Snooks: Waaaahhhhh! Daddy: Stop crying, Snooks. Here are your stamps. Snooks: I'm glad I sewed the other money in my pants. Daddy: Now, listen to me. You've just done a very noble thing. You're too young to understand, but America today is facing a grave emergency. The President has called upon the financial aid of the entire nation, and you want to help, don't you? Snooks: No. Daddy: Listen. The few cents you've exchanged for those stamps will be put to work instantly. Defense workers are slaving night and day at different projects helping to make an impregnable fortress of this country, to keep our strength so that we may help others. Battleships will be built, airplanes will roll into production, tanks, guns, and even food for the army will be bought. Snooks: All with my thirty cents? Daddy: Don't think it doesn't help! Just imagine if every person in America did the same thing! Snooks, strange as this may sound, your thirty cents may save half of the world! Snooks: Yeah? Daddy: Yes. Snooks: Turn me over, daddy? Daddy: I'm not going to spank you. Snooks: No — I want to get the rest of the money and save the other half of the world. MAY, 1942 ''And you're the fellow they called the 'Hermit Crab'! Jt/i "Yes, but I'm living it down fast! Not a bad rhumba for a hermit, hey.'" "It'll do . . . Were you really like people said you were . . . crabby, sour, skinny, down on the world.''" "... like this? I sure was! And worse. But then I learned I had a Vitamin B Complex deficiency." "Say it in smaller words, please." "It's a shortage of those amazing vitamins you find in their natural form in fresh yeast. So I took two cakes of fleischmann's every day in nice, cool tomato juice, and before I knew it, I was ..." "... a man among men again! Nice work. But what's this talk about tomato juice?" "That's the new way to take yeast. Mash a cake of fleischmann's in a dry glass with a fork, add a little tomato juice, stir till blended, fill up the glass and drink. Very tasty, believe me." fleischmann's is the only yeast with all these vitamins: A, Bi, D, and G. And remember, the only sources of the Vitamin B Complex are natural sources such as yeast and liver. Remember, too, if you bake at home: Vitamins A, Bi, D and G are not appreciably lost in the oven; they go into your bread! Ask for fleischmann's— with the yellow label.
