The Case of the Wandering Macaroni

Old Dutch Cleanser, famous for chasing dirt, presents... Nick Carter, famous for chasing crime. Every week at this time, two great names are joined, as Old Dutch Cleanser brings you one of the most resourceful and daring characters in all detective fiction.

Nick Carter, master detective. This is the silliest business I ever heard of Nick, ordering a dish of macaroni just so somebody else won't get it. Yes, Pessie, but it's this particular dish that holds the fortune.

But what if you don't get it before Green Hat does? Then I failed at what I promised to do. But what happens after you get the dish of macaroni nicks? We search it for what it contains.

And after that? Anything can happen. Now the case of the wandering macaroni. Today's adventure with Nick Carter brought to you by Old Dutch Clemter. It's been a busy day for Nick Carter, who's been cleaning up the routine business that is piled up on his desk.

Now it is late afternoon, And Nick is still dictating letters to his recording machine, while his secretary, Patsy, sits at a desk and taps her foot impatiently. Dear Mr. Gaylord, I received your letter dated January 17th, semicolon.

That's right. It's five thirty. I won't transpride those lettuce till tomorrow anyway. And besides, it's my birthday. How do you only have a few? Oh, Nick, Claudia, you promised me six months ago that we'd go off to dinner to celebrate my birthday and I'm going to drag you away from the office. I have to use a blackjack.
