Now, AutoLite and its 60,000 dealers and service stations present... Suspen! Tonight, AutoLite brings you Edmund Gwen in... murder, in black and white. A suspense play, produced and directed by Anton M. Leader. Friends, have you got that faraway look in your eye for faraway places?
Well, it's spring, so let's get going. Replace old narrow gap spark plugs with wide gap auto-light resistor spark plugs. Your car light will smoother, give you better power and performance on leaner gas mixtures, actually save gas.
You see, auto light regular type spark plugs have long been standard factory equipment on many leading makes of cars and trucks. And now six, that's right, six of these leading makes of cars and trucks have switched to auto light resistor type spark plugs for factory installation on their new 1949 models.
The new auto light resistor spark plugs are tomorrow's spark plugs today. Remember, you're right with auto-light. And now, auto-light presents Edmund Gwen, in a tale well-calculated to keep you in. Suspenny! Tom! Tom! Tom! To sleep last.

Yeah, yeah. Tab B, performance of murder. Yeah? Yes, yes, everything has been carried out exactly as I planned it. Tom is dead. Now, 915, good. Everything is working out right on schedule. Now, tab C. Procedure to follow murder.
Yeah, here it is. Replace pistol in my left jacket pocket. Fold blank it across foot of bed, making sure that it's not still smoldering from the discharge of the gun. Using clean handkerchief from breast pocket, wipe soda dispenser and replace on sideboard.
