Transcript

All cars, the copyrighted program created by Rio Grande. Los Angeles Police calling all cars, attention all cars, to broadcast 262, regarding a robbery, no description of suspects in this case. That is all, Farmon. The cast of calling all cars and I wish to thank each one of you, who during the last week,

made any kind of a purchase at a Rio Grande station. For those of you who didn't hear last week's show, I would explain briefly that we were making a test during December of listener loyalty to this program. We are calling all cars one an expression of your interests and friends. And after five years and 261

broadcasts, we feel that it's not too much of a favor to ask you to make one call at a real-grounded dealer's this week, whether it be for a quarter-reelude or some cracked gasoline. The size of the purchase is of no consequence or consideration in this test, I assure you, true, we feel that an exposure to our products will be hubbit forming.

But the purpose of our appeal to you is to prove to our company and dealers that our radio friends of long standing would respond to a fair request. Will you promise yourself to stop at a re-aggrandi station once this week as a personal favor to us of calling all cars?

I feel it's one of those things you will feel good about doing and it will constitute a Christmas gesture that we will sincerely appreciate. And now on to your show. The story we are here tonight has been taken from the confidential files of the Los Angeles Police Department.

We have therefore asked Captain of Detectives, L. L. Curtis, to open our program. It has been said that when thieves fall out, just men get their dues. But it has not been for the falling out of the thieves involved in tonight's story.
