 The Craft Foods Company presents Harrow Perry as the Great Gilder Sleeve. Hehehehe. The Great Gilder Sleeve is brought to you by the Craft Foods Company, makers of Parquet Margeron. Every day, millions of women all over America serve crafts Parquet Margeron because it tastes so good. To market, to market, to buy some Parquet. Home again, home again, try it today. You'll like it, you'll like it like millions who say their favorite Margeron is Parquet. Parquet Margeron, P-A-R-K-A-Y, it's wonderful. It's May. May has brought the flowers and the flies to Summerfield. Our old friend Gilder Sleeve has just plopped down on the sofa filled with that righteous weariness and sense of rich accomplishment, which come to a man only after he has just put up the screens. By this unexpected maneuver, he has trapped half the flies in Summerfield. Some of them buzz the sofa. Go away, go away. Others butt their heads against the screens trying to get out. Birdie is on the prowl with a swan her. The folks who live, the folks who live on easy streets. Just sit around all day, just sit and play general midlife is sweet. For those who live on like darn you, easy streets. Now what? Fat chance of me living on easy street if it ain't flies, it's doorbells. Craig, what is it? I want to talk to Lee Roy's uncle. Well, I don't know, Mr. Gildsleeve's kind of busy right now, Craig. I don't like to disturb him, but if it's something important, Mr. Gildsleeve, excuse me. Huh? Craig here says that he wants to talk to you. Oh, Craig, haven't seen you around lately. How's everything over at your house? Mother, well, is she? Lee Roy won't let me play in his hut. What's that? He won't let me play in his hut. Oh, well, I'm sure there must be some misunderstanding, Craig. I'm sure Lee Roy would be delighted to have you play with him. Have you asked him nicely? Yes. What did he say? He threw me out. Oh, well, we'll just have to see about this. Where is this hut? Out in the lot, out in the back. Oh, is that what that is? I'll handle this, Marty. Yes, I'm sorry, but I don't know what it was. Well, these international crises come up, Marty. They have to be faced. Come on, Craig. He was mean to me, too. Well, I'm sorry to hear that about Lee Roy. If it's true. Are you going to spank him? We'll see, Craig. We'll see. Lee Roy, what do you think I'm calling you for? Yes, yes. Sue. Yes, yes. And yesterday you wrote something on the sidewall with a piece of flower pot. He did, eh? What are you writing? Something bad. Who's that out there with you? Piggy? Yeah. I thought so. Any time you two get together, what in the world have you done to your shirt front? And your trousers? Look at you. Filthy. Where have you been? Well, that's the way you get into the hut. You have to crawl under the side. That's the way you keep the enemy out. Oh, for heaven's sake. Was there something you wanted on? Yes. What's this Craig tells me? It's a dirty lie. You haven't even heard what Craig told me yet. I don't have to. Yes, you do. In this country, Lee Roy, a man is presumed to be innocent till he's been proven guilty. It's not him. Are you big zipper? Now, Craigie, let's get to the bottom of things here. I want the facts, Lee Roy. The plain facts without evasion and without embellishment. Without what? Just tell me what happened. Lee Roy! What have you done this time? Lee Roy. And besides, he wants to be the whole cheese. If you don't let me, it goes off ballin' to somebody. I do, you do, too. Now, now. Is there any reason why Craig can't play nicely with the rest of you boys, Lee Roy? Ask him. Don't ask me. I mean, is there any reason why he can't be included? Well, Lee Roy wants to be president all the time. Well, who started it? Who started the whole thing? President of what? Who got the whole thing? Who decided all that? I did. That's not the democratic way, Lee Roy. Presidents are decided by elections. You hold an election and whoever gets the most votes, he's elected. Now, to put an end to this argument, I think you should hold an election of officers. All three of you. Peggy will vote for me and there's two out of the three votes right there. So I'm president anyway. Oh, but you never vote for yourself, Lee Roy. What? Oh, never. Why not for corn sakes? It's not considered good form, my boy. You vote for the other man and the other man votes for you. That way, the result is just the same, but it's more modest and more gentlemanly. Sounds good to me. Well, anyway, that's the way it's done. Now, why don't you boys run along and hold your election of officers so we can't get along together like good sports? Huh? You heard me, Lee Roy, and take Craig with you. Come on, Craig. That's good, children. Play nicely now. You better be nice to me, Lee Roy. Your uncle says he'll give you a beating. Little pest. I wouldn't let him in my club either. Yes, Bertie, I guess so. Always so. Man needs the wisdom of following. Huh? It's all I know and how to handle him, Bertie. It's all I know and how to handle him. Hold it yourself. You'll never have any friends you know unless you learn to be a good sport and a good loser. Why don't they learn a little? We can't always wait for the other fellow to make the first move, my boy. You must set them an example. You're older than Craig. I'm no older than Piggy. I'm just nicer. That's all. We won't discuss that. Now blow your nose. It doesn't matter with him, for heaven's sake. Why don't you mind your own business? What do you mean after all? Leroy's had a hard afternoon. That's not upsetting anymore, shall we? Who's upsetting him? I merely walked in so I'm sitting there with his eyes all red. No, I'm not. No, no. I told you about making friends with other boys, Leroy. That goes for brothers and sisters, too. A friendly gesture brings a friendly response. Yeah? Really? I never saw anyone so touchy. I walk in the room. Marjorie, why don't you just run upstairs? There are times, my dear, when I believe you rubbed Leroy the wrong way. You sure? That's not for you to say, my boy. This is all about. But I assure you, nothing... Happy little family. I'm glad she's gone. You better be a little nice to your sister, young man. At the rate you're going, she may be the only friend you'll have left. And stop that sniveling. I'm sick of it. No reason for you to feel so sorry for yourself. You're as much to blame as anybody. Now, when Craig comes over here the next time, if he ever does, I want you to play nicely. You understand? Play nicely! Now go upstairs and get cleaned up for your supper. Man can stand just so much. But when he's had enough, he's had enough. Found it. I started out this day feeling fine. Put up the screens and everything. What gets into children? Con, found it. Birdie, can't we do something about these flies? Boy, finish your supper. I finished. Let Birdie go. Don't kill everybody, I'll answer. Mr. Gill, please. Looks like you'll need a little more type yoga there. I'll be back in a place. No, thank you, Birdie. I've had my fail. Come on. Well, wait here. I'll see you. Man to see you, Leroy. It's Craig. Tell him to go home. Now, Leroy, where I just tell you. Just before supper. You see, Craig's forgotten the whole thing already. Forget and forget. Why shouldn't you? Remember, my boy, a friendly gesture brings a friendly response. Now, you go out there and play nicely with him. That's the boy. And I mean it. Remember, I'm going to be listening. Hi, Craigie, old boy. Come on out. I'm going to play. I'm going to have a birthday party. Yeah? When? You can't come. Who said I wanted to come? We're going to have an organ grinder with a monkey. Who said so? My mom. Who hasn't seen organ grinder? With a monkey. Who hasn't seen monkeys? We're going to have ice cream and cake. We have ice cream and cake every day, practically. I got some waiting for me right now. The cake is going to have prizes in it. Anybody who bites into one gets to keep it. Who said so? My mom. I don't believe it. Ask my mom. And we're going to run a pony, too. Anybody that's invited to the party gets to ride on it. Breathe. You can't ride on it. Holy yourself, my boy. After all, it was really your own fortune, though. Craig was over here this afternoon. Why weren't you nicer to him then? The Great Gilded Slave will be back very shortly. Most women get genuine satisfaction out of planning little surprises for regular meals and lunches, like crispy hot rolls or golden crunchy waffles.

Now, a parquet's fresh, delicate flavor. Just a minute. What are you trying to do up here anyway? I'm rating the commercial if you don't mind. You're trying to sell something, aren't you? Crafts parquet margarine. Is that it? Yes, that's it. Well, why don't you sell it? Do you realize you might be boring, people? Now, just a minute. Listen. What are the reasons for using this parquet? The reasons. Why, it's a spread that tastes wonderful. It's a fine energy food and it's mighty economical, too. Well, why didn't you say so? I was trying to get... Parquet tastes good. It's good for you and it saves your money. Is that right? Oh, sure. But why don't you say so? Well, parquet is terrific. To market, to market, to buy some parquet Home again, home again, try it today You like it, you like it like millions and say Their favorite margarine is parquet Parquet margarine, P-A-R-K-A Why it's wonderful Now let's get back to Gilder Sleeve and to Leroy, who is getting life explained to him.
