Now, auto-light and its 60,000 dealers and service stations present... Suspens! Tonight, auto-light brings you Gregory Peck in Michael Vennings' Murder Through the Looking Glass, a suspense play produced and directed by Anton M. Leader. Friends, even a camel can't compete with an auto-light's stay-full battery, because an auto-light's stay-full battery needs water only three times a year in normal car use?
Yes, sir, that dandy, dynamic, dependable auto-light stay-full battery has extra plates, too, for extra power protected by fiberglass insulation for longer life and stronger life. Did I say longer life? Well, I admit it. An auto-light stay-full battery has almost doubled the life of an ordinary battery.
Why, in tests conducted, according to the Society of Automotive Engineers of Life Cycle Standards, auto-light stay-full batteries give 70% longer average life than batteries without stay-full features. So get wise, get auto-light. Remember, you're right with auto-light.
And now, auto-light presents Gregory Peck, in a tale well-calculated to keep you in, suspense. The sound was a dull monotonous roar in my ears, and I listened, wondering if it were real or part of a dream.
Suddenly, I was awake and I knew that I was riding on a train. But where? I didn't remember getting on a train. I opened my eyes and saw that I was in the lounge car. There was only darkness through the window. And then sat across from the reading. There was a bridge game down the aisle, a porter serving drinks. Everything
nice and normal. Except that I had no idea how I got on the train or why I was there. I I had to think of a reason for being there, but I couldn't. These spells of forgetfulness have been coming on more often lately.
