Commercial for Kleenex Table Napkins; Manners the miniature butler opens the door to a kitchen where the mother laments about the mess her baby boy made while her daughter exclaims that her napkin has slipped off her lap; as mother kneels down to pick it up, she comes face to face with Manners and thinks she is seeing things; Manners dispels her fear and introduces Kleenex Table Napkins, which she proves that they don’t slip off her lap--”why, they cling like cloth!” she says; Manners also touts their strength as he hands one to the daughter, who pulls it taut several times without the napkin tearing; mother also comments on their softness and right size as she wraps it around her boy’s neck like a bib; Manners concludes his visit by saying that “they’re perfect for every member of the family, and remember: Kleenex Table Napkins won’t slide off your lap--they cling like cloth! Thank you!”
