Transcript

In just a moment, suspense, starring Agnes Morehead. Hi, half, hello, and how are things? Wouldn't be better. Except walking 12 blocks to your service station just isn't for me. You got my new spark plugs in?

Just finished putting those brand new auto light resistors spark plugs in your car. Guess she takes a big load off your arches, eh, half? I think she sure does. My feet have the pepper nut to pick up.

And what are you listening to tonight? What's Thursday, half? I'm listening to the auto light suspense show. Never miss it. Well, here's where I rest my weary booms and listen to Agnes Mooord. Hey, here comes Frank Martin, the auto light salesman to join us.

Hello, Frank. Hi, Ed. It's me, Hal Port. Auto light spark plugs, batteries and ignition systems. The light line of your car. Well, like Mr. Horton for the assist and wait until I give you the real loadout on those brand new auto light resistor spark plugs, Ed just put in your car.

Say this. Say it later, Frank. Here comes Agnes Mooord, Ed. So, spends. AutoLite and its 60,000 dealers and service stations bring you radio's outstanding theater of thrills. Starring tonight, Miss Agnes Moorhead in a tail well calculated to keep you in. Sauspene! Today everybody is switching to AutoLite and tonight.

When we came to this house the minute I saw it I made up my mind secretly to start writing again in spite of them. But I don't dare let John know I'm keeping this journal.
