Transcript

Suspense! Tonight, AutoLite and its 96,000 dealers present, Mr. Gregory Peck, in Nightmare, a suspense play produced and edited by William Spear. Friends, AutoLite welcomes you to Suspense, and this is Harlow Wilcox, urging you to do yourself and your car, the great big bountiful favor of replacing old worn out narrow GAF spark plugs

with a set of new wide-gap auto-light, Resistor spark plugs. That's the biggest news I know. But I've also been told to tell you that suspense is going to receive a great big important national honor tonight during our usual between the acts intermission.

And say when it comes to honors, you'll want to award your car a set of wide-gap auto-light resistor spark plugs. Your engine will idle smoother, give better performance on leaner gas mixtures, actually save gas.

And if you want to realow down on how auto-light resistor spark plugs reduce television interference, See a copy of this week's Saturday Evening Post and turn to pages eight and nine. See your auto-light spark plug dealer today and remember you're always right with auto-light.

Oh and remember too, suspense on television returns to many stations throughout the nation, Tuesday night September 6th. And now with Nightmare and with the performance of Gregory Peck, Auto-light hopes once again to keep you in...

Suspense! They say every nightmare has a prelude. Something that inspires it, something that happened or almost happened that your inmost mind seizes upon. It lives there in the back of your head and it multiplies itself and fattens on tiny fears until it's grown into a monstrous bloated horror.

And then when it's full-sized with dread, it springs out at us from evil blackness at night when you're defenseless in sleep. The Prelude to My Nightmare occurred at six o'clock that evening, the third of July.
