Now, AutoLite and its 60,000 dealers and service stations present... Suspens! Tonight, AutoLite brings you Edward G. Robinson in... You can't die twice. A suspense play, produced and directed by Anton M. Leader. Friends, if a camel got a drink of water only three times a year, his tongue would hang out like a Christmas necktie.

But an AutoLite's stayful battery thrives on three drinks a year. Yes, sir, an auto-light-stay-full battery needs water only three times a year in normal car use, and by Cornelius, an auto-light-stay-full battery has extra plates for extra, extra power, protected by fiberglass insulation for stronger, longer life.

Why, in recent tests conducted according to the Society of Automotive Engineers' life-cycle standards, auto-light-stay-full batteries gave 70% longer average life than batteries without the stay-full features. So remember, be battery right, get auto light. And now, auto light presents Edward G. Robinson in a tale well calculated to keep you in Suspen.

Here. It's funny how it happened. Take a good look at me. Am I the type you'd say could harm a fly? Ask around my neighborhood to ask any of my old customers. Sam, they tell you, Sam Brown, why he wouldn't say boo.

Sam Brown and murder them. Besides, there must be some mistake somewhere. Oh, Sam's dead. A whole year now. So that's what I want to explain, how it all happened. It all began that Sunday morning at home with my wife, Katie.

Poor Katie. And April Fool. Today is April Fool, isn't it, Sam? Yeah, I guess it is, Katie. Why? Why? Because we'll have to expect a lot of silly tricks today. That's why, from your so-called friends.
