The Spence! Auto-light and its 96,000 dealers present Metro Golden Mayor's Star, Mr. Van Johnson, in salvage. A suspense play produced and edited by William Spear. Happy Easter Mr. Wilcox. Thank you, my happy haxter. Say that motor sounds sweet as an Easter sonnet.

Mission-engineered auto-light spark plugs, no doubt. Yes, sir. I just had it tuned up for the Easter parade. Well, you know, auto-light ignition engineer is a complete line of spark plugs, including regular transport, aviation, marine, and the famous auto-light resistor spark plug.

The spark plug that offers four big advantages to car owners everywhere. Go on, Mr. Wilcox. We're right in the middle of the East of Parade now. Well, wide gap auto-light resistor spark plugs give greater gas savings, faster starts in cold weather, smoother performance, even double life under equal conditions compared to spark plugs without the built-in resistor.

Every advantage a winner. And it's all because of the 10,000-ohm exclusive AutoLite resistor built right into every AutoLite resistor spark plug to make practical a wider initial gap setting. So friends, see your friendly AutoLite spark plug dealer tomorrow.

Have him replace worn-out spark plugs with ignition-engineered AutoLite spark plugs. Whether you choose the resistor type or the regular type, you'll be right because you're always right with AutoLite. Now with salvage and the performance of Van Johnson, Autolight hopes once again to keep you in...

Suspense! So it's gone up in smoke. Oh, I'm not complaining. Maybe $400,000 seems a little steep. A week ago, I would have said $400,000 was a lot of money to light a cigarette with. But it's funny the things you find out, the things that are really important when you're about to die.
