The Carnival

The makers of camel cigarettes present dick power as Richard Diamond, private detective. More people smoke camels than any other cigarette. The reasons behind camel's great popularity are flavor and mildness.

Smoke only camels for 30 days and see how rich and flavorful camels are pack after pack. See how mild they are, how well they get along with your throat week in and week out. Then you'll know why camels are America's most popular cigarette.

Here transcribed is Richard Diamond, private detective starring Dick Powell. In my business, nearly every case I get mixed up in has some kind of an interesting angle. If it isn't some woman who spotted a neighbor floating bodies in his bathtub, or a lonely husband who got lonely because he disposed of his wife of the medax,

Then it might be a case like the one I got mixed up in last week. Mr. Richard Diamond? I agreed with him, watched him close the door and walk into my office. I looked, closed my eyes, looked again.

I made up my mind I wasn't having hallucinations. He couldn't have weighed more than 140, a kindly face that supported the sad sort of a smile. He was dressed well and his actions seemed perfectly normal.

But there was one little thing that bothered me. He was a good eight feet tall. You seem a little disturbed, Mr. Diamond. Oh, it's nothing. No, just a high fever. About 110, I'd say. You've noticed something out of the ordinary?

Oh, no, no, no. I work for a carnival, Mr. Diamond. Oh? My name is Adam Rayburn. I'm billed as the thinnest man in the world. And you must come close to being the tallest. 7 feet 11 in my stocking feet.
