[Ray Price]

Yes, sir. Thank you, boys.

[Raymond (Ray Price)]

The Jordan A's with one of these. Morton, that was great. I'm telling you. And say, wouldn't it be something, Tommy, if we turned up another great quartet in our second annual Pet Milk Grand Ole Opry talent contest?

[T. Tommy]

It sure would, Ray. And speaking of contests, all you ladies out there, if you were to enter a cooking contest right now, could you win a prize? Well, I can tell you how to narrow down the odds. Start cooking with Pet Evaporated Milk. Nothing does so much for your cooking as Double Rich Pet. Pet adds creamy richness to casseroles, sauces, soups and gravies. Makes extra delicious desserts. In fact, everything you cook with milk comes out richer, more flavorful. Made with Pet. Because Pet is twice as rich. And Pet Milk blends in so smooth and easy with the other cooking ingredients. Try Pet in your coffee and on your cereal, too. Better pick up several cans. Yes, ma'.

[Jordanaires]

Am.

[T. Tommy]

For blue ribbon cooking all the time, reach for Double Rich Pet. Candiest milk you can get.

[Raymond (Ray Price)]

And that T. Tommy really likes to talk about Pet, doesn't he, folks?

[Ray Price]

But right now, here's Shorted Lavender with

[Raymond (Ray Price)]

a little tune on the fiddle called

[Ray Price]

Back up and Push.

[Billy Grammer]

Sam.

[Raymond (Ray Price)]

Thanks a lot, Shorty. That was really something, wasn't it, T. Tommy?

[T. Tommy]

You can say that again, Halls. He's a sharp boy.

[Raymond (Ray Price)]

Well, they're almighty Sharp boys, T. Tommy. But speaking of sharp boys, it's guest time on the show here, and we're awful proud to say right now, here he is, Billy Grammer. Billy, welcome to the Pet Milk Grand Ole Opry. Thank you, Ray, and real happy and pleased to be here with you. Well, now, you've been a member of the Grand Ole Opry family for a few weeks. How does it feel, Billy? Well, Ray, to tell you the truth, I still can't hardly believe it. You know, I've been in show business for about 10 years. And all that time I hoped and

[Jordanaires]

dreamed that I could be a part

[Raymond (Ray Price)]

of the Grand Ole Opry.

[Jordanaires]

There were times when I never thought

[Raymond (Ray Price)]

I'd make it, Ray. But when it finally happened, well, I still can't hardly believe it. Well, I know just exactly what you mean, Billy, but you made it. And now you got a great hit record out. Here he is, neighbors. Billy Grammer and his great monument record of I've gotta travel on.

[Ray Price]

Great, Ray.

[T. Tommy]

[Raymond (Ray Price)]

Well, thank you, T. Tommy. But see, have I shown you you the latest picture of my youngster? No, man, he's getting to be a horse. We're bringing him up the right way, too. On Pet milk formula.

[T. Tommy]

I always knew you were a smart man, Raymond.

[Raymond (Ray Price)]

Well, Tommy, I'm smart enough to know that babies grow strong and healthy on pet evaporated milk.

[T. Tommy]

I'll say. More than 50 million babies have thrived on this form of milk. You know, babies need pets Vital milk nourishment for sure. Steady growth pets. Sunshine Vitamin D for sturdy bones and teeth. And pet is easy for babies to digest because it's always uniformly rich. Safe too, in sealed sterilized cans. So if you're expecting a little one soon, be sure to ask your doctor about Peter Pets. He'll tell you, you just can't buy a better milk for your baby than pets evaporated milk.

[Raymond (Ray Price)]

And that's a fact.

[T. Tommy]

Thank you, Ray. Friends, a little while back I told you that Billy Grammer was a great

[Raymond (Ray Price)]

man on the electric guitar.

[T. Tommy]
