1935 Maxwell House Coffee Show Boat Vintage Sheet Music Song Book Lyrics & More
Captain Henry, himself! Frank
McIntyre, famous Broadway
star, the genial skipper of the
Maxwell House Show Boat.
The way I figure, most of you folks who receive this song book are real friends of
all of us here aboard th’ Maxwell House Show Boat. And we’re happy to be able
to send you this collection of our favorite songs, because we know you've helped
to keep the Show Boat a-puffin’ along, every time you drop into a grocery store
and buy a can of Maxwell House Coffee.
“In addition to the Songs, we’re givin' you many pictures. The leadin' lights of
our Maxwell House Show Boat are photographed for you-and with them some
colorful scenes out of the past, when such glamorous boats as the Cotton Blossom
and the River Queen gave their famous shows up and down the Mississippi, Ohio
and other rivers.
"You know, there’s somethin’ about the old river that makes you want to sing.
It sings a song itself, you see, all th' time... sometimes it's a soft and soothin’
lullaby, sometimes it's a song of th' great country it rolls through ... sometimes it’s
a fierce an' warlike song, too. But all th’ time it's singin', an' the folks who live
along its banks are singin’ all th’ time too, mostly. So we’ve been a-collectin’ this
list of the favorite tunes they sing, and one day Lanny said, 'Captain Henry, why
don’t we have these songs printed, and make it possible for our friends who listen
in every week to have them?' And so—here they are! They’re our favorites, and,
I reckon, they're the favorites of most every one. They’re cornin' to you with th'
best wishes of all of us aboard the Maxwell House Show Boat."

It’s "TINY” RUFFNER talking-the
Show Boat's energetic "advance
man” and genial-voiced announcer
of every Maxwell House Show Boat jM
program. His real name is Edmund /Bl
B. Ruffner; he’s called "Tiny" be-
cause ,’s the tallest man in radio—
H
6 feet (Veches tall. Millions of folks
have hewell House Coffee is. Here's one of his friendly
little "curtain talks" from the stage of the Show Boat:
"Folks, I'm speaking for the whole Show Boat
cast when I say there’s a real treat waiting for
those of you who haven’t yet tried a cup of our
Maxwell House Coffee. Won't you have some—
’Fe:q[ soon ?
"for we think that, after your first taste, you will
agree that no other coffee^ can give quite the
same rich, mellow flavor and smooth, full-bodied
goodness.
"That is because the Maxwell House people use
a special blend of the choicest kind of coffees.
They’ve developed a new way of grinding that
gives perfect results by the drip, percolator, or
any other method of making coffee.
"And then they pack Maxwell House by the
exclusive Vita-Fresh process so that it always
comes to you as fresh and delicious as the very
hour it was roasted. Why not get a can at your
favorite grocer's today?"
