Now, auto-light, and its 60,000 dealers and service stations present... So spend the night? Auto-light brings you Miss Betty Greyball in... The Copper T-Strainer. A suspense play, produced and directed by Antonim Leader. Friends, even a camel can't compete with an auto-light-stay-full battery, because an auto-light-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 needs water only three times a year in normal car use. An auto-light-stay-full battery has extra plates, too, for extra power, protected by fiberglass insulation for longer life and stronger life.

Why, in recent tests conducted according to the Society of Automotive Engineers' life-cycle standards, auto-light-stay-full batteries gave 70 percent longer average life than batteries without all these features. Remember, be battery right, switch to auto light.

And now, auto light presents Betty Graybell in a tail well calculated to keep you in. Suspend! I was in the two by four dressing room changing into my street clones. It was raining beating down on the low skylight like a fury.

It made such a racket that I didn't hear a thing until a buzzer rang and the outer door opened. But first I heard your voice I was sorry for you. You sounded tired and you had a cold.

You'd be surprised if I ever told you, but I wasn't frightened at all when you spoke to Erwin. You're the photographer who runs this place. I'm James Erwin and this is my fort away to see, yes.

Do you have some work to do? I got work to do. Is it? They're a dame named Jeannie Dunn here Erwin? When you said my name I got a little scared without knowing why. I'd been modeling a sun suit and I was cold anyway.
