Mine plays two dozen records, different sizes.
Mix 'em up any way you like.

:42:05
Radio gets China clear as a bell.
Also televisión.

:42:08
Except there's no televisión to get.
:42:10
- We're too far away.
- Only televisión set in town.

:42:12
Like playing tennis without a ball.
:42:15
What do you want me to do about it,
build you a broadcasting station?

:42:18
You don't need a station.
Just yell a little louder.

:42:20
Uh, Mrs. Manleigh, are you sure
I can't get you a drink?

:42:23
- A cocktail maybe or scotch?
- Never touch it...

:42:26
alcohol that is, in any form.
:42:28
- Oh. Uh, Mr. Manleigh?
- He doesn't either.

:42:30
Well, coming from show business,
you might say...

:42:32
I always imagined "those kind"
took a nip now and then.

:42:35
Wouldn't be keeping faith
with our clients...

:42:37
the most respected trademarks
in the American home.

:42:40
Well, I think I'll have one more.
:42:42
Porter?
:42:47
I've often wondered, Porter,
why you haven't considered radio advertising.

:42:51
Mr. Hollingsway has a chain
of seven department stores all over the state.

:42:54
I know all about it. 23% by volume
over last year. 138% over 1939.

:43:00
- Where'd you get those figures?
- They're a matter of public record, Mr. Hollingsway.

:43:04
Yours is too big a light
to be hid under a bushel.

:43:06
George, would you fix me
a small bromo seltzer?

:43:09
- You're a potential giant, Mr. Hollingsway.
- Not too small.

:43:12
- Doing all right.
- I said a potential giant.

:43:15
Potential.
:43:17
Something tells me I'm gonna
have a giant around the house.

:43:19
Got this whole state
sewed up tight.

:43:22
- But there are 47 other states, Porter.
- Crackerjack point.

:43:25
Now, you take the three states
adjoining this one.

:43:27
If I can put you,
Porter Hollingsway...

:43:30
into millions of those homes
for one half hour each week...

:43:32
He doesn't spend that much time
in his own home.

:43:44
Excuse me.
:43:47
I told you the screen
was a crummy idea.

:43:53
- Soup's on.
- Thank you, Sadie.

:43:56
- Mrs. Manleigh.
- Lora Mae.
