Now Wrigley's Stearment Chewing Gum brings you Luigi as he writes another letter describing his adventures in America with Mamabasco in Italy. Mamabasco, Mamabasco, Mamabasco, Mamabasco. Mamabasco, Mamabasco, Mamabasco. It's the one thing about America, so you know that's the money to buy what you want so you don't have to to worry. That's because you got a simple answer called the credit. Which means that you buy it today and you worry to buy. Sure in America you buy anything you want for credit but with one, the basic condition you got to know how to sign an M. I'll never forget that when I was in one of the countries, I bought lots of things for credit. Radio, toaster, gas range, lots of more things. Then there came a timer for first appointment, and I found out that a big American institution, the loaner company. The loaner company was very nice, they gave me money to make a payment on a radio toaster and gas range. Then next month the loaner company came to me for the money. I was in a big trouble, I had to find somebody. And that's when I found out about America's biggest institution, I was called the Fat Doros. Can I show you how much I've become a good American, some big wholesale house is a promise to give me antiques for credit, if I'm going to get to my name, and it's been on the bright street to book. The name of all the businesses in the United States, and they'll give you marks on how good your business is. Is it like a school report card with the money? But it wouldn't look to be wonderful if I was in this event on the bright street with all the other big men. Anyway, I'm actually like a big man, look up at another bright street in the corner book, I'm going to call them up, and next month I was very nervous, waiting for the men to come over and let them get to me. Luigi, my friend. Hello, Louisiana, hello. Hello, Pasquale. What's the matter for you? What's the no way to say hello to Pasquale, little banana nose? So, I'm sorry Pasquale, I'm really nervous today. I'm waiting for somebody to come. A customer, little cabbage person? No, no Pasquale, here I'm here of Dunn and the bright street. No, but I heard a fix to the broad street. Is that what you mean? No, Pasquale, Dunn and the bright street, it's not the street. It's a credit to the company. They sent a man over to investigate me, put my name in a book, and once I'm in the book, I'm going to have a craze written and the whole city is going to lend me an fix. Now, you understand who's a Dunn and the bright street? Sure, it's a bookie. That's going to help your business, eh? Hey, Luigi, take my advice, so when this accredited fella comes, you send him away quick. No, no, Pasquale. Yes, you listen to me. Look, you smarty pants, I've been 20, 60 years in the spaghetti business in America, and I did a pretty good without this Sydney and the green street. No, Pasquale, that's a Dunn and the bright street. What's the difference? Look, Luigi, once you start up with a bright street, are you done? I only advise you if you want to go to forget the credit of stuff. You want to be a bigger businessman to all you buy and sell in a one-way. K-A-S-H, you catch. I'm not got enough for cash. All righty, so come with me. And are you going to lend me the money? No, but I've sent you to a third party, and this third party is just a bustin' with a cash. Yeah, I know faster, too. Luigi, don't start up with that, because if you're going to... Hello? I'm Mr. Hutchett from Dunn and Bradstreet. Are you Luigi Busco? No, this is a Mr. Pasquale. Pleased to meet you. Save you, Bradstreet, you ain't lending a cent out of me. Mr. Busco, I wonder if I could speak to you someplace where it's quiet. Sure, sure, Mr. Hutchett. Look, Mr. Hutchett, if you want to find out anything at all, you ask me, because I brought this little pop squeaker here for Italy. I sent him off for the business. I see. And that's how much stock did he begin with, Mr. Pasquale? Fifty-thousand. You lent him fifty dollars to start a new business? Certainly. Money was a no-object. Yeah, but again, in my business, it was, he got the very good of Mr. Hutchett, and for three years, I'd buy in a cellar, buy in a cellar, and then buy in a cellar. And how much would you say your business is worth today? Forty dollars. He buys the more than he sells. You tell her, Pasquale, that's not the truth. Mr. Hutchett, I'm a figure, I'm a guy, over a thousand dollars, and I'm fixin' the right to miss the store. Right, that sounds reasonable. Don't believe him, Mr. Hopscotch. Yeah, look at this oldest spin and wheel. He says it's a worth of fifty dollars. I say it's a worth of fifty cents of a firewood. Look at this, the chair, market ten dollars. Not worth the ninety-eight cents. No, that's not the truth. It's a genuine antithesis. Oh, why do you talk? The oldest thing in this store is a meme. Excuse me, Mr. Hutchett, don't listen at all. Let's assure that Mr. Pasquale, done in Bradstreet's decision on your rating, will be determined solely on the basis of solid business facts. Now, a few more questions. Number one, what is the size of your bank account? Get a statement for number two. Please, please, Mr. Pasquale, I'ma got a fifty-eight dollars in the bank of Mr. Hutchett. Do you have any outstanding debts, Mr. Pasquale? No, I'ma don't owe nobody nothing. That's a lie, that's a lie. He owes a cent to the party something. Mr. Pasquale, what debt is Mr. Pasquale referring to? A two hundred and fifty pound debt. Two hundred and fifty pounds? Is that English pounds, Mr. Pasquale? No, it's American pounds, it's all a fat money, it's a debt of loss. Once I'm, I'ma shudder marry her. And until he does, he's going to be nothing but a failure. I think I'm starting to get a clear picture, Mr. Pasquale. Thank you for your time. Yeah, but, but, but, but the way you, why you're going so quickly, Mr. Hutchett, you, you're going to give me the bad mark in the book? Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Pasquale, it's too early to tell what your rating will be. will be i'll have to do a little more outside research before i can come to any definite conclusions about your financial condition oh but but do you think maybe it's going to be a good demarcation i don't know mr busker but maybe you're going to give me a little hint uh huh i'm sorry wait just stop for begging for mercy you only chance for now is the governor and then this hotchkiss walked out just like that i'll leave you have to write the heart of it and and i'm worried because if he's been given a bad direction i'm not going to get a credit in the business like like gorilla make in the business is it yeah i i sympathize with you levity it's not the right levity today you can't do business without credit we
