A Spence! Auto-light, and its 96,000 dealers present Mr. Danny Kay in, I Never Met the Dead Man. A suspense play produced and edited by William Spear. Oh, wait, now? Okay.

Oh, what a sleep. Hey, did she say a new year? Boy, let me add it. At that Auto-light's stay-full battery, I promised myself. That wonderful water wagon, that thirstless, thrilling three-timer. Yes, sir, it needs water only three times a year in normal car use.

Hello again. Are you up, Mr. Wilcox? Am I up? I'm as up as an auto light stay full battery is up and away at a single starter shove on a winter's morning that's as cold as Blitzen.

And alive. Alive as an auto light stay full battery, built with fiberglass retaining mats, to give 70% longer average life, according to tests based on SAE life cycle standards, compared to batteries without those stay full features.

Wilcox, it's time for... Oh yes, yes. Suspance! And now, with I never met the dead man, and the performance of Mr. Danny K. Auto-light hopes once again to keep you in... Suspance! I never even met the guy.

Somebody killed that man in the car. Sure. Somebody. Are you crazy as something I had nothing to do with it? Ask anybody. Ask who, for instance, boy. There wasn't anybody else on the street when I returned to call her.
