Pepsi Cola, P-E-P-S-I, that's your smartest Cola by. Pepsi Cola presents, Counter Spy. Harding Counter Spy, calling Washington. It states Counter Spy, especially appointed to investigate and combat the enemies of our country, both at home and abroad,
or in the case of the postal pirates. Another Counter Spy report to the American people, Brought to you each Tuesday and Thursday by Pepsi Cola. Pepsi Cola hits a spot, two full glasses, that's a lot.
That's right, you heard what they said. Two full glasses of sparkling Pepsi from one big 12-ounce bottle. You're getting an extra glass full. And what a delicious glass full. The most refreshing delightful cola that ever tickled your taste.
You can't top Pepsi's tangy flavor. And that big, big bottle saves you money. Goes twice as far. Pepsi's America's big, big favorite, and America's biggest cola value. So why take less when Pepsi's best? Whenever you reach for refreshment, remember.
Why take less when Pepsi's best? And now to counterspies. For weeks, David Harding has been on the trail of a million-dollar syndicate of thieves stealing packages from post offices in a number of eastern cities.
Harry Peters, assistant to Mr. Harding, went undercover as a dishonest postal clerk named Harry Gordon, and has made contact with one of the big shots of this racket, Frank Garrett. The two men are now driving in Garrett's car with Peters alias Harry Gordon at the wheel.
Okay Harry, stay on the west side highway now. It's well car. Handles nice. Yeah I know, I like to drive. Except in city traffic. And why you wanted me to take the wheel? One reason?
And the other? You're a bright boy, Harry. Thanks. We had the kind of a guy we'd like to have if we were taken on, new guys. You're not? We don't like volunteers. We'd like to pick out our own boys and hold them too as good and tight.
