New post-warl Dutch cleanser, famous for chasing dirt presents. Nick Carter, famous for chasing crime. Every week at this time, two great themes are joined. As new post-warl Dutch cleanser brings you one of the most resourceful and daring characters in all detective fiction.

Nick Carter, master detective. Why do you suppose he doesn't answer the door, Nick? I don't know, Patsy. Maybe if we look through this window, we can see. Nick, what's the matter? What are you staring at?

Look over there on the floor by the sofa, Betsy. Huh? What is a man lying there? He's been shot in the forehead. I found it. He's the one man in the world who could have told us why a young man who had everything to live for should want to take his own life.

And now, the case of the flowery farewell. Today's exciting adventure starring Lon Clark as Nick Carter, brought to you by new post-war old Dutch cleanser. As our story opens, we find Nick seated at his desk in his office, intently studying the front page of the evening paper.

Patsy stands behind him, reading over his shoulder. Nick, it says he was only 35 years old. Yes, Patsy. He was one of the richest industrialists in the world. And he ends up by throwing himself in a lake.

Oh, it just doesn't make sense, Nick. Why would a man like that take his own life? The suicide note he left in his car tells why. It's reprinted here in the paper. Oh, is it? I didn't see it.

Yeah, right down here at the bottom of the column. It is not the number of years a man has lived that enables him to say his life was justified. It is the richness and fullness of his experience.
