Transcript

all cars, the copyrighted program created by Rio Grande. The Los Angeles Police calling all cars, attention all cars broadcast 240s at Beachwood and Sunset to see the officer. That's all closing words. A few days hence and we shall celebrate the 162nd anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. And you know friends, one of the

famous ways will serve the fourth is to visit some section of this great country of ours to never seem before. Free forms of accidents can mar the happiness of the day. One of these can be avoided by careful driving, another by careful use of fireworks, and the other by giving your motor the protection it seems with sturdy, real-lube motor oil.

This great lubricant is manufactured in the country's largest refinerant, and so made that it cannot break down under the pressure of blistering hot weather. Friends, if you've been experimenting with wishy-washy oil to let your motor down at the least provocation, Declare your independence right now and before you set out on any trip,

roll into the red and white wheel, run this station in your neighborhood and declare your allegiance to Rio Luva, the newest and finest liquid oil in the West. The story we're here tonight has been taken from the fire of the Los Angeles Police Department.
