Transcript

Lifting tea and lifting soap present in a sanctum mystery. Is your host to be in a sanctum, welcoming you to another half hour of mystery and terror.

Guaranteed to take 10 years off your life. Don't just stand there, come on in. We've been fixing up the place, making it more homey. Yeah, so see that beat hanging down. You just stand on the table, put your head through the noose and that's right.

It's for the convenience of anyone who feels like hanging around after the broadcast. I wish you wouldn't say things like that. Oh you're right Mary I'm a bad host. Here I invite everybody to hang around and there's only one rope. I guess we'll have to hang together instead of hanging separately. Unless of course

we want to hang ourselves with a black ribbon that comes with that Lipton sterling silver medallion. We've got plenty of them haven't we Mary? Well I I don't know. Thousands of women are writing in every day for that special sterling silver medallion.

So I'd advise all of you ladies who want to own one to send in for it tonight. Yes, they're going mighty fast because this medallion is made of solid sterling silver, and it's decorated with the Chinese symbol for good luck.

The medallion is just the right size, too, about an inch in diameter. You can wear it as a necklace or a choker because it's hung on a narrow black ray on satin ribbon, Or if you wish, you can simply add it to your charm bracelet.

And here's how you get this handsome medallion. Listen, just send 25 cents and the box top from a package of liptons, the tea with the brisk flavor, to lipton tea, box 92. That's box 92, New York City.
