and its 96,000 dealers present Mr. Eddie Cantor in double entry. A suspense play produced and edited by William Speer. Well, are weeping reindeer? What's wrong? I just lost my job. Oh, that's terrible and so near Christmas.
By the way, what's your name? Donna. Well, tell me, Donna, how do Blitzen, Dancer and Prancer feel about this? Oh, just awful. They've been fired, too. You see, when Santa Claus hears or rather, was our boss first heard about your auto light stay full batteries, he decided to give up the sleigh and make his deliveries by car.
Oh, Santa fell in love with those stay full features, eh? I guess so. But I don't know why. Oh, that's easy. You see, his auto light stay full battery needs water only three times a year in normal sleigh car use.
And then, too, it gives him part in the expression, reindeer fast starts, even in the North Pole. And what's more, with those fiberglass retaining mats, protecting every positive place, auto-light stay-full batteries deliver 70% longer average life than batteries without stay-full features.
That's shown by recent tests based on SAE life cycle standards. Well, that doesn't make me any happier. Come on, dear, cheer up. It is the season to be jolly. Remember, you're always bright with auto-light.
Mr. Cantor appears as Eddie with Sidney Miller Sam, his bosom friend, in double entry, an unusual story of clerical crime at Christmas time, altogether a most remarkable tale of suspense. It always balances in the double entry system. If it don't you hang around until it does. Yeah, even Christmas week. That's what I've been doing all my life,
keeping books. It's fascinating, positively fascinating. Look at them figures, beautiful ain't they? Calligraphy they call it, that's Greek for beautiful handwriting, you know. I bet in my day I've written billions of figures, oh, hundreds of billions, and cash.
