The copyrighted program created by Rio Grande. Well, some of these police calling all cars, the attention of all cars broadcast 197. They only look out for a banknote issued by the Bank of England. This is a one pound note that was stolen by bank bandits who held up the Belvedere branch of the security first national bank at 8.30 a.m. this day.
These men are armed and dangerous. That's all. Rows and crits. Several millions of girls and boys will return to school the next two weeks to study what may be briefly summed up as the great proof discovered by others.
To learn to apply in their own lives the thought, discovery and experience of those who have specialized in their respective fields. It is this same fundamental principle of education, this desire to profit by the experience of others, which is the guiding light of the business world.

We invite you to study this fact. Learn its truth for yourself. and then, profiting by the experience of others, apply it to the life of your own mortal. Give your automobile the police car performance it deserves by consistently using Rio Grande Christ.
