 When parsnips look like jingle bells
 and ladies dresses last forever
 when cverybody's got an embroider- ed aluminium tablecloth like the
 Duke of Windsor
 Mep Drunk? No siree; I'm just trying to tell you it's going to be wonderful world. Richard s. Rev. holds, the Aluminium maker, guar antees 1t. He went to the senate to tell the small business committee that he figured the government gave him the short end of its aluminium deal. He's sore at Jesse Jones and he thinks the IVA, is charging him too much for power, but that's not important to us. Or to Reynolds.
 He told the senators not to worry about him. He'll make his own power If the IVA doesn't cut the price. The 62-year-old Reynolds, who combs his hair over his bald spot and who speaks with the ac- cents or Tennessee, reached under the table and came up with some of the other reasons why he's not wor- rying.
 Fellow husbands, think he has the answer to our problem. He proc ouced ilrst 8 Woman's dress, woven oi aluminium thread and tinted gold, It shimmered under the crystal ca- dalebra and caused Senator James Y. Murray of Montana to ask what made It such & color.
 "I'he natural shade Is silver" re- piled Reynolds, but ladies like gold better than silver and so we made 1t gold. We can make 1t any color.'
 50, me. Here We have dress which VIII not sag. It won't stretch. n cigaret can't burn Q hole in it and II the little woman spills some chlcken gravy on 1t, she can hold It under the hot water tap.
 The beauty of this dress is that it isn't going to wear out. Buy your Wlie one of these and you've got her clothed Tor life. Richard s. Reynolds you are a great man!
 That isn't all. He reached down, again and hauled out a goltlen- coloretd tablecloth, embroidered of solid alluminu mthread. It was about tle dellixiest tablecloth anybody ever saw; Reynolds said he had woven IL Tor an ex-king Of England.
 "Who?" demanded Sen. Kenneth s. Wherry of Nebraska.
 An ex-king of England" re- peated Reynolds You know who that is the Duke Of Windsor. Once he and his Wally start eating off of this tablecloth, their laundry problems are over. If they dribblc egg on It, or hambone grease, they can clean their tablecloth with the garden hose. The Duke is a lucky guy.
 The pretty parSnips are something else. Wrap a parsnip or an avocado or plum in slip of Reynolds ioll paper and, according to him, It'll last for months.
 Take oranges" he said. We wrapped an orange and six months later we unWrapped 1t. It was as good aes new. An unwrapped orange, side by side with 1t, had shrunk to the size of a lemon"
 HIS vegetable-wrapping aluminium comes Tn sheets colored red, green, blue, silver, and gold. He had sam ples of all shades. When he gets go- Ing good in the produce bzsiness, grapefruit are going to look Ike sweet potatoes, too.
 Some stuff, that aluminium.
 Magic metal, we cal It." Rey- holds testified. The senators were impressed and I was, too, and I've got to hurry home now and tell my pride, before she wastes my money 'n clothes made of that old fash oned, shrinkable, nondurable wool.
