And tonight, Grant, at no increase in the admission price, we got a visitor here with us who's as popular as they come. Hank Thompson. Well, Hank will be out here picking and singing shortly. But like the rest of us, you just can't wait to hear what's been happening down in Grinder Switch the past seven days. So here comes Prince Albert's favorite princess and our best gal, Cousin Minnie Pearl.

F
I'm just proud to be here. First off, I want to correct a rumor that's been going around. Cherry. The rumor is that every time I come in this place down here at the Grand Old Uproar, a handsome young feller meets me at the door, throws his arms around me and kisses me. Well, I want to tell you, there ain't a word of truth to it, but I sure am grateful for the rumor. Just proud to have to say it. Well, I sure like it here with all these handsome fellers. I reckon we've got the handsomest fellows in the world right here with us. I declare, when a girl sees a lot of men in front of her, she kind of forgets about the years behind her. George Morgan, speaking of handsome fellers, are you ready to read me some of the questions from my column in the Grinder Switch Gazette?
- [05:46]
C
Oh, I'm ready and willing men. And here's the first one. It says, Dear Minnie, I'm 29 years old and I have never had a date with a gal. That's cause my mama always told me that a gal can make a fool out of a man in 10 minutes. Now, do you think this is true? And it signed Bashful.
- [06:05]
F
Dear Bash, what your mammy says is true. A girl can make a fool out of a feller in 10 minutes. But, oh, them 10 minutes. Next question, Dar.
- [06:20]
C
All right, men, now let's see. This one here says, dear Mini Pearl, I've been going with my gal friend for 32 years and I want to buy her a birthday present. Do you think some bath salts would be nice? Now this one signed Crumpet.
- [06:36]
F
Dear Crump, you're just wasting your time giving bath sauce to a girl you've been going with for 32 years. She's too well seasoned already. Well, I thank you, Dar. Now for some news from Grindr Switch. I'm telling you, I sure do like Grindr Switch. You know, there's no place like Grinder Switch. It's the sort of a place where everybody knows whose check is good and whose husband ain't. I don't know if I told y' all that we've got a new nickname for Brother around Grindr Twitch. They got a new name for Brother now. They're calling him Button. He's always popping off at the wrong time. Minds me of old pig Brother's got. He calls him Ink. Cause he's always running out of the pen. Talking about the animals Brother's got down there and the fowls and so forth. Brother's been working on some experiments. He's crossed a chicken with a parrot. Yeah, and he's gonna have him a chicken that don't crackle when it lays an egg. It'll say, hey, boy, come here. Look here, I just laid an egg. Do you remember that time he crossed a. He crossed a owl. He crossed a owl with a goat. He got a hootin in it.
- [08:10]
C
So, George, this sure is a beautiful time of the year, isn't it? Oh, man, it really is, Grant. You know, this is kind of take it easy weather. I'm just gonna get out in the air and light up my pipe and take it easy with Pa that's mild and tasty all the way. Pipe smokers feel that way about Prince Albert smoking tobacco all year round, friends. Because first of all, Prince Albert is easy on the tongue, being specially treated to ensure against tongue bite. Well, Pa is easy to draw too, Grant. And you're gonna like the way the choice crimp cut tobacco packs neat. And it smokes long and smooth. Finally, Prince Albert is easy on the pocketbook. There's more Pa now in the pocket tin. So fellas, take it easy and enjoy life with Prince Albert. The national Joy Smoke.

Well, here comes a friend of ours with something mighty important on his mind. Hey, George, I've been seeing quite a lot of young fellas rolling their own with Prince Albert smoking tobacco. Yes, and there's sure a good reason for that, too, Grantlin. You see, the young fellas like speed, and so naturally they turn to quick rolling PA and OCB papers. All smokers, young and old, want real smoking enjoyment into making cigarettes. And that's what you get when the makings is choice. Prince Albert.
- [15:57]
D
Sure.

C
Cause Prince Albert is crimp cut. The tobacco doesn't blow around or dribble out the ends. Pa is there to stay. Pa is economical, too, because there's more Prince Albert now in the pocket tin as well as the wonderful bargain you'll find in the pound size. So, fellas, roll your next making cigarette with Prince Albert. America's largest selling smoking tobacco. So roll your own with good Pa and take a puff or two.

John Henry was a little boy sit on his papa's knee Thought he picked up a hammer and a little piece of steel said hammer be the death of me Will hammer be the death of me? John Henry went to the mountain where the cap could by his side heard a man was so tall John Henry was so small he lay down his hammer and fire lay down his hammer and his wife.

It's called I'll Go On Alone. We're traveling down two different roads in worlds so far apart you want me yet there's something else before me in your heart you're wanting me to change my life the way you're living your but I can't change I see no way you wanted me before if you don't want me like I am then please don't pity me. If you can't change a little bit then why not set me free? If we can't live together then it's best we live apart. You go your way and I'll go mine. We'll both make brand new star. There's nothing we can say or do. It seems we'll get along with you believing life like you do. You say I live so long but I can't change my way of life. I've lived it much too long.

Ask any man behind a tobacco counter and see if he doesn't tell you. There's sure a big swing to King size Cavalier cigarettes. Seems like every day more folks are asking for Cavaliers. Yes, smokers certainly do go for Cavaliers. Great mildness, you know. Thousands of smokers from coast to coast compared King size Cavaliers with the brands they had been smoking and eight out of 10 interviewed said Cavaliers are milder. Cavaliers were compared with all the other leading brands. Perhaps the brand you now smoke. For instance, 89% of a group of airline pilots interviewed in New York City said Cavaliers are milder. As Captain Bill Miller of TWA Trans World Airlines said, Cavaliers are milder than the cigarette I've been smoking. And I go for their flavor too. And listen, you pay no premium for Cavaliers. Extra length Cavaliers, the King size cigarette made by the makers of Camels, are priced no higher than leading regular sized brands. Remember all the know how gained in producing Camels stands behind Cavalier. Get a carton now. Prince albert's grand ole opry came to you from wsm in nashville, tennessee.
