Transcript

Roma wines present. Suspense. Made in California for enjoyment throughout the world. Seru, your health, Senor. Roma wines toast the world. The wine for your table is Roma wine. Made in California for enjoyment throughout the world.

This is the man in black here to introduce this weekly half hour of... Suspense. Tonight from Hollywood we bring you Mr. Orson Wells. Mr. Wells will appear as star of a suspense play called The Marvelous Barastro, from an extraordinary story by the distinguished American author Ben Hecht.

But before we raise the curtain on this evening's Tale of Suspense, here is a message from your host, the Romain company of Fresno, California. Distance lens enchantment says the old proverb and it seems born out in such little episodes as these.

Let's pretend we're guests at the smart and handsome Pan-American club, Havana, Cuba. An American visitor is amazed that his Cuban host can picture the marvelous climate and rich, fruitful soil of California without ever having been there.

But the Cuban response, one simple own of wonderful Roma wine tells me all that. Only true perfection of climate and soil could produce the perfection of your splendid California wine, Roma wine. Well, that's all.

And as Roma wines become available to wine connoisseurs of more and more lands, the chorus of praise grows for the truly superb quality of these good Roma wines. No wonder then these wine experts of other lands are so eager to import Roma wines, no matter what the distances from our own California.

And no wonder too that these taste alighting Roma wines with no import duty to pay and without expensive shipping charges added to their cost here are America's largest selling wines. With such richly rewarding enjoyment within your reach, why not get acquainted with your favorites among Roma wines many different delightful wine types?
