Another full half hour follows the announcement. And now friends, the well dressed portion of Dinner Bell Round Up Time. Brought to you by Royal Anne's Bell Taylors, 4022 Gage Avenue in Bell, California and 817 East Colorado, right here in Pasadena. All right, sir. Herman the Hermit and his banjo are recovering from our big Christmas party here yesterday at kxla. Did the banjo get too much to eat, Herman? No, Cliffy, the banjo didn't. But I sure did. You know, I went up to the Roscoe Garden Club Christmas and ate turkey again. You didn't? Well, shame on all that. Oh, well, Herman, that's good. I'm glad I'm wearing. In fact. Well, I wondered where you got that. I thought you made that yourself. No, and the Bell tailors, they made me the suit. So I was pretty lucky. You sure were. And you saw Santa Claus in person. All right, Hermie, what you gonna give us on the band a little while? The Fox and Hound. That's a good shape.
- [28:50]
Eddie Kirk
Sam.
- [29:43]
Cliffy Stone
All right, Hermey. Thank you. There he goes in his brand new Christmas shirt. Say, here's a little personal little question I'd like to ask you. Maybe we can help you out. Did somebody give you a Christmas gift with a note saying thought you could use the money for something you really needed? Well, if you're one of those lucky people. Personally, I wasn't. But if you are, well, why don't you plan to treat yourself to a gift that will last throughout the coming year. Take that money from dad and mother or from Aunt Sarah and buy a beautiful tailor made suit for yourself from Bell Tailors in Pasadena or Bell, California. The man who cares will find exactly the weave and pattern and color to suit his taste. And the big stock includes silk and wool, worsted gabardines, shark skins, twists and tweeds. Now, because of the huge volume buying, the low overhead and tailoring in their own shops, Bell tailors are able to offer truly great values in men's tailor made clothes. Here's an example. Tailor made suits values 80 to $90, as low as 49.50. The fit and the workmanship is guaranteed. Also uncalled for suits on which big deposits were made. Sale right now 24.50. The fit guaranteed in alterations at no extra cost. Take that Christmas money. Pay the big dividends in 48 with that well dressed appearance. You can wear a Bell tailor made suit right now from Royal Ann Stores. Remember those addresses? 4022 Gage Avenue in Bell, California and 817 East Colorado in Pasadena. Stores are open weekdays from 8 in the morning to 8 in the evening, Saturday nights to 9 o' clock and Sundays from 10 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon. Please remind them that your dinner bell roundup program at Cliffy Stone asks you to drop on in. Well, sir, it's gospel singing time here for us. And today we picked out one that I reckon you can all join in with us on. It's called give me that old time religion.
- [31:47]
Eddie Kirk
Give me that old time religion give me that old time religion give me that old time religion it's good enough for me it was good for my mother it was good for my mother it was good for my mother and it's good enough for me give me that old time religion give me that old time religion give me that old time religion it's good enough for me it was good when the world was on fire it was good when the world was on fire it was good when the world was on fire and it's good enough for me give me that old time religion give me that old time religion give me that old time religion it's good enough for me it was good for Paul and Silas it was good for Paul and Silas it was good for Paul and Silas and it's good enough for me give me that old time religion give me that old time religion give me that old time religion it's good enough for me it will take us all to heaven it will take us all to heaven it will take us all to heaven it's good enough for me give me that old time prediction give me that old time religion give me that old time religion and it's good enough for me.
- [33:43]
Cliffy Stone
All right, boys. Thank you. And now, friends, I'd like to do a little song here called red, white and blue over you fine boys, will you help me out? When I saw you going round with two other guys I was red with anger, white with fury, blue in my despair when you said you love me so you told me those last I was red with anger, white with fury, blue in my despair if you had a fool idea two wrongs would make a right then you didn't understand that I knew black from white Every night when you came home with gin on your lips I was red with anger, white with fury, blue in my despair.
- [34:41]
Eddie Kirk
Sam.
- [35:20]
Cliffy Stone
Maybe when I wanted lovin you'd hesitate I was red with anger, white with fury, blue in my despair you gave me more double talk than one man could take I was red with anger, white with fury blew in my despair you thought I was colorblind to your scarlet way but I saw that you're the kind who takes and never pays I found out your heart of stone was too cold to care. I was red with anger, white with fury Blue in my despair. Get yourself another home. Cause baby we're through. I am red with anger, white with fury Blue in my despair. Well, thank you, thank you kindly. A little number called Red, White, White and Blue over you. Well friends, with Christmas day out of the way and the first of a new year practically here, it's time to think about that 1948. Yes siree. What is this year going to bring us? Well, it goes without saying that the new year will be better to you if you feel like meeting it halfway. And believe you me, there's nothing like the well dressed feeling to give you confidence and pep and a feeling of self assurance. Now you can have that well dressed feeling when you wear a tailor made suit from Bell Tailors in Pasadena, Bell, California. For a minute, think of the values. These tailor made suits are priced as low as $49.50 values mind you, up to $80 and $90. Now these top tailor made suit values are made possible through huge volume, buying, low overhead and tailoring in their own shops. Realize too friends, that the stock at Bell Tailors also includes silk and wool worsteds, shark skins, gabardines, twists and tweeds and hundreds of patterns and colors to delight the taste of the most discriminated. Now these special bargains and uncalled for suits are available in many weaves and many patterns. Values $49.50, as low as $24.50. I know that if you have been aware of tailor made clothes, you're used to paying 90 to 100 to $150 for a tailor made suit. Well, I know that I was. In fact I had to be. I just couldn't work and buy a suit of clothes that had to be tailor made. If you've had that problem, then you know what I'm talking about. So remember Royal Ann's, Bell Tailors, two stores to serve you. 4022 Gage Avenue in Bell, California and in Pasadena at 8:17 East Colorado. Now stores are open weekdays from 8 in the morning till 8 in the evening. Saturday nights till 9 o' clock and Sunday from 10 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon. For that well dressed feeling, see Roy Land. He's the man you know who says he's a tailor. And a darn good one too. He is for a fact. He'll prove it to you. That's at Bell Taylor's in Pasadena and in Bell, California. One thing more, friends. Please tell them that your dinner Bell Roundup program and Cliffy Stone and all the gang ask you to drop on in starting. Well, not quite a new year, but almost a new year for Royal Land. We want to take this moment to thank Mr. Land for sponsoring our program and for helping out yesterday with our party here at kxla. And we hope that you folks that visited with us yesterday here in person in the studio, can come back again real soon. So. So we want to say thanks to you and to Roy lan. Well, sir, it's time for a little square dance here. And that means the country Hensley and his fiddle. Say, you feel all right after the party yesterday, Harold?
- [39:42]
Eddie Kirk
I feel pretty good.
- [39:42]
Cliffy Stone
I finally figured out about what time it is, Cliffy. You did? How did you figure that out? Well, it's. It's Friday. Yes, it's Friday. That's very good, Harold. And, well, I figured out. I figured it's the day after Christmas and Christmas is on Thursday. Yeah. Well, that is shows remarkable presence of mind and I thank you kindly. Here it is, friends, Bill Cheatham. Take it easy there, Annie. Well, friends, that completes this portion of Dinner Bell Round of Time on this Friday, brought to you by Royaland's Bell Taylors at 4022 Gage Avenue in Bell, California and 817 East Colorado, right here in Pasadena.

Cliffy Stone
Watch it. And now, friends, moving right along here for our last 15 minutes on this Day After Christmas broadcast at Dinner Bell Roundup time, I know a lot, a lot of you, I wouldn't say. I've got hangovers. I wouldn't say that. But maybe, maybe, maybe. Possibly from eating a little too much, who knows? But anyway, we'll carry right on here and kind of give you a little relaxation. Eddie Kirk's up here and Eddie's gonna sing. There's a new moon over my shoulder.
- [42:33]
Eddie Kirk
There's a new moon over my shoulder and an old love still in my heart. I remember now that I'm older what you told me the day we had to part. You promised with the new moon you'd be coming back to me. Now many moons have passed since then I'm waiting patiently. There's a new moon over my shoulder and an old love still in my heart. There's a new moon over my shoulder and an old love still in my heart. Every night now sings a bit colder and so lonely since we have been apart. And so I keep on praying for your safe return someday. And that will be the same, sweethearts, as when you Went away There's a new moon over my shoulder and an old love still in my heart.
- [44:36]
Cliffy Stone
Thank you, Cliffy. Over my shoulder and we're going to dedicate that to our good friend Tex Ritter, who introduced it. Say, friends, we got an announcement here for you. All right. Thank you, Billy, and all the rest of the boys there. See, Herman, we haven't had any singing from you today. We had a little banjo picking, but no singing where you show off the fine Snodgrass pipes. Well, I got a little song here for one day of Turkey. There are 10 days of cash. You must have heard that. I'm gonna save that till New Year's. Yes, let's do save it at least till next Christmas. Christmas, that'll be best. It's not usually. How many resting days have we got till New Year? I don't know how many days of rest, Herman, but I do know we're all going to be resting if you don't get some singing in here shortly. Sometime I want to get my new. I got a couple of new boys joining my act now. My mountain man. Yeah, Reinhardt and Eddie Kirk. Sleepy Kirk, over here. Come on. Come on, Sleepy, get up there. He's going to sing. I don't want you.
