Transcript

Modelite, and its 96,000 dealers present transcribed Mr. Alan Lad in Mobyful Murder, a suspense play produced and edited by William Spear. Reming Chester, you look like a badly battered battery, a sorry sight indeed for an auto light stay full battery man like me.

We're cooks? I've just returned from a safari. Been hunting camels in Kilkenny. Camels in Kilkenny? Why, by St. Patty, didn't you know that the last camel in Kilkenny calmly curled up and died when the first auto-light-stay-full battery landed in Ireland? He knew he couldn't compare with that tea-totling dispenser of pep and power, the auto-light-stay-full battery,

the battery that needs water only three times a year in normal camo—I mean car use. Such shenanigans will cugs. Reming Chester, auto-light-stay-full batteries give 70% longer average life than batteries without stay-full features, and that's proven by tests conducted according to SAE life-cycle standards.

Barney Stone furthermore, auto light stay full batteries have three times as much liquid reserve above the plates as batteries without stay full features. That's why they need water only three times a year in normal car use.

Say no more Wilcox. One thing more, you're always right with auto light. And now with multiple murder and the performance of Alan Lad, auto light hopes once again to keep you in suspend. How is she asking?

How is a guy a cop? You make with magnifying glass and blood hands. You make with facts, I'm telling. You start with something you know for sure. Yeah. Yeah, you make with facts. But when you're a cop and you've got all the facts, what are you doing?

They're going to arrest Joan White for murder. Even the reporters were nice. They didn't try to steal a picture of Mary, though there were plenty of moron. But I knew what they were thinking about.
