 comedy show created by Cy Howard and starring that celebrated actor Mr. J. Carol Nash with Alan Reed as the quality of his new life in America he promised his mother that he would write and tell her about his adventures so now let's read Luigi's letter as he writes to Mama Vasco in it. I believe in this and I'm no like to brag but I'm only two years in America and already I must serve up 48 the dollars that's a pretty good eye just to think about me if I'm gonna keep a saving up for 24 hours a year at the end of a 10 years I'm I got a 240 dollars and I could afford a brand new 1950 car in the 1960s this 48 dollars I'm gonna keep in a bank in America bank is a place where you keep your money and also catch a colder from air conditioning a couple of days ago I must see admin a paper that's to say grow with America in a vest of your money so I'm gonna decide to take my money out of the bank and the grow I'm a talk to the bank manager this manager he's a talk to me about a saving and he say how if I'm a leave of my 48 dollars in a bank it's a gonna work for me I'm a thinker what a stranger country any other country man has a got to work to make money over here he's a stay home in a center here's the money out the way but it'll make a long story in a little piece of money this morning I'm a went to the bank and I'm a took out to my 48 the dollars question is now what I should invest in lots of people are making money in the real estate I'm even a hear it in my night school how once a man is a pay $24 a phone New York for me I'm gonna do the same thing I'm a go right to now and I find out how much should I ask for Chicago no Chicago must of course the more than the $24 but the first time I go to my night school a class and ask my teacher miss baldinger for advice about the real estate I'll call the roll Mr. basketball present Mr. Howard present Mr. Olson present Mr. Schultz I'm here but I didn't bring a present I may not be a beauty but I'm a cute Mr. Schultz there'll be no disruptions now class our lesson for today is why are you staring out of the window I'm looking at the Baker building well that's the Wrigley building it's so beautiful is a real piece of America fellow who's on that the building he must be very happy I'm miss baldinger yes you think that they're gonna sell me the first floor of the Wrigley building what Luigi don't buy the Wrigley building you'll be biting off more than you can chew for a show sir please I'm serious Luigi by the sudden interest in buildings are you looking to buy real estate maybe that's right the Horowitz I was a C add in a paper to say grow with America in a vest of you money nothing could be true that's what I was thinking I'm a like it to invest in my money in a real estate if I'm only could own a smaller piece of the United States a small piece Luigi would you settle for Texas it's not a very nice location cross ventilation and hot and cold running oil well Mr. Schultz please Luigi how much money are you prepared to invest in real estate 48 dollars what do you think I can abide for that a fire hydrant on Michigan you forget this is real estate business you don't got to own it property to be a real American your hall Luigi that there's more American to own a refrigerator in the washing machine that makes sense Luigi a fellow who has as good in America as a fellow who's got a hundred acres except if he's got a horse then he's got to move out of the apartment I miss balding miss balding what do you think you think I'm a foolish you because I'm a like throwing a piece of land a piece of America well no Mr. Basko I think your motives in your spirit are very commendable some of our greatest Americans started with almost nothing and built great fortunes that's the American dream that's all true Luigi take Rockefeller when he first came to America from Yugoslavia Rockefeller was born here yeah but anyway there was a fella raised right here in Chicago there was Cleveland yeah but when Rockefeller started his first gold mine there was an oil well all of them if you keep stopping me Rockefeller would never make it die Mr. Basko even though you have the right idea I'm afraid 48 dollars is hard me enough money to start a venture with if you don't mind miss balding a correction please a man wants to start he's got a right to start so it's not real estate it's something else well like what Mr. Harwick like what like stocks sure I know a fellow who bought a hundred shares of stock at $2 today it's worth $34 a share and he's got a fortune stocks your best right Luigi you invest in the stock market right away you become part owner of some big American companies hey that's the sounds are good but the weight you think of 48 dollars is enough in a stock market Luigi nowadays 48 dollars ain't enough in the super market Luigi look you made up your mind so go ahead buy some stocks so won't be much but at least it's a star that's right Mr. Basko gonna thank you class I'm gonna take your advice I'm gonna go buy some stocks I'm gonna win a bet and good luck Mr. Basko your hall of aid you'd ask my sentiments to you ah sure Luigi go buy some stocks then one morning you buy yourself a paper you sit yourself down feet on the desk a big cigar in your mouth then you open up the paper yes you take one look at the stock market and you blow out your brain help us buddy help us buddy guess what I'm gonna buy some stocks well that's a wonderful idea Luigi we're the winter coming out of those stocks and they're gonna come in handy for your feet it's different in the kind of stocks what are you talking about he's a sock oh a sock that's what are you buying a Wall Street that's a stock stock stock look who's a teller me Luigi don't have been insulted but I'm gonna more brains in my head than you got in your hole a little of fingers well that's a good a pus quality then a maybe you tell me a few things about a stock so before I buy tell you sure why not stocks well to begin with Luigi all of the stocks that I keep in a very big a place that's a call to the stock yard but a push quality push quality amateur stock yards who was only for animals animals as they got a nothing to do with the finance no hey look at what it says you do you want to pay for here financial a section and go ahead and read me see stocks rise in a bigger bull market what are you writing sure I'm a writer besides this the bull market they got something else is a call a bear market bear market that's all right that when everybody's lose the shirt is a walk around a half a naked that's a bear square I know you're making me worry Schultz is also tell me I'm a kind of loser my 48 the dollars is it this is a possible sure as possible a stock of market is a full of danger say a fella's a buy 10 heads a bull right away you got a balance in the market you got to buy 10 heads a cow how you're going to do this with a 48 dollars maybe I can a buy a little a cow ooh what a boob you're thinking they're gonna let a little fella like you make a money in the market here here look at these stocks general electric a general of foods a general of motors you can't abide and only for general generalism well and then that's a bad bad that's a terrible here look at these stocks here Pacific a copper United a copper well can I buy those up a square no it's a for none a commissioner man a copper Luigi's and no doubts about it a market ain't it for you not a per squally what am I going to do I'm a half of what they call the American dream I wasn't going to grow with America investing is something a big that a Luigi why you don't tell me this right away if you want to invest it is something a big I'm a god the biggest it's a nice a pasquale what's that my daughter Rosa nothing I don't a pasquale she's too fat for me stop with a fat you're looking to invest in America roses it just as American as the Rocky Mountains and a pike what do you say she's as American as the Rocky Mountains and a pike's a pig yeah and that's a what she's a built like a tool you want to make a wise the crackers about a half fat or you want to grow with America but a pasquale if a roses ever sit on a me I'm a stopper grown Luigi 250 is an old fat especially out of Rosa because
