Pepsi Cola, P-E-P-S-I, that's your smartest Cola by. Pepsi Cola presents Counter Spy. Harding Counter Spy. Calling Washington.

United States Counter Spies. Especially appointed to investigate and combat the enemies of our country, both at home and abroad. Tonight, the case of a genuine counter-fits. Another counterspile report to the American people. Brought to you each Tuesday and Thursday by Pepsi Cola.
