You is anybody? There's Molly, folks. That means your friends, the Goldbergs are here. Brought to you by Doz, the new kind of soap for everything in your wash. First, let's drop in on the Dozen family. Well, there's young Dicky Dom in the kitchen wiping dishes for Ma. He's saying, "Gee, mom, you should have heard Daisy and her fellow Donna last night doing the dishes." Were you eaves dropping Dicky? No, I wanted something in the kitchen. That's all. They were pretending to talk about Does What's wrong with that, dear? Nothing. But Daisy said, "Here, Donald, is that divine does. It's that new kind of soap for everything in our wash. And it has everything for dishes, too." That's what she said. She's right, Nikki. does make suds that stand up till the last dish is done and cuts grease like 60. Yet it's kinder to my hands. But Gmar Donald thinks he's Clark Gable. He says to Daisy, "We'll does all our dishes dream cake. You and me and those do suds will stand up together through every last dish." Then Daisy said, "And Donald with does we don't have to keep adding soap so we can take time out for kisses." That's real cute. Cute in my eye. Then Daisy says, "I won't mind the greasy pans because D does zips through grease in less than half a minute." That's true. There's no hard scouring. And guess what, Mara? The big goon held Daisy's hands and said, "Your hands are so smooth, Dream Cake." That does, Dicky. It's kind of hands. Sure, but Donald ought to be a caveman and say, "Come on, woman. Give these dishes their daily dozen." Well, caveman or Romeo, I want to say Mar's right about does for dishes. It's the only leading granulated washday soap that gives you all this. Makes suds that stand up till the last dish is done. Cuts grease like 60 yet it's kinder to your hands. So change to does du. It has everything for dishes. And now the Goldbergs.
