Who are about to hear a story suggested by actual events, so that no innocent person shall suffer. Names and places have been changed. Auto-light and its 96,000 dealers bring you a story transcribed from the front pages of our great metropolitan newspapers.

A story taken from life. Tonight's presentation of SARS-Spence. Tonight, AutoLite presents Mr. Gregory Peck, who's going to tell you the truth about Jerry Baxter, a story of juvenile use of narcotics in the United States today.

Hey, a hap, do you remember starting your car engine by a hand crank? Mm, sure do, Harlow. I work like a horse. Well, you'd work like three horses to start today's modern engines, hap. But now electricity does it and other jobs like running your heater, radio, lights and horn.

Electricity is pretty important to a car. It's vital app, and that's where AutoLite comes in. Because AutoLite designs and builds complete electrical systems used as original factory equipment on many leading makes of our finest cars, trucks and tractors.

Why, my car's AutoLite equipped, Harlow. And that means all the AutoLite units, including the coil distributor, generator, starting motor. and their thousands of component parts are related by AutoLite Engineering Design and Manufacturing skill. Sort of a family team, eh Harlow?

Right, Hap. A family team working together to give you the smoothest performance money can buy. So friends, take a tip from me and insist on AutoLite, original factory parts, when your AutoLite equipped car needs replacements.

Because only AutoLite original factory parts can assure you the balance and perfect timing, built into your car's auto-light electrical system right on the assembly line. Remember, you're always right with auto-light. And now with the truth about Jerry Baxter and the performance of Mr. Gregory Peck, auto-light hopes once again to keep you in SARS-Spend.
