Transcript

The Spence, Auto-Lite, and its 96,000 dealers present William Powell in the escape of Lacey Abbott, a suspense play produced and edited by William Spear. Mr Wilcox, I am from the SPC-TC. I've come here to register a strong protest.

Now, wait a minute, what is this SPC-TC? The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Camel. You can't imagine how you've distressed the dear dramadaries. You mean because I say auto-light stay-full batteries need water only three times a year in normal car use?

The camels feel bad because they have to have water more often? They positively wince when they hear it. And you should see their poor dear faces drop. Oh, I'm sorry about that. Perhaps I could play up the fact that auto-light stay-full batteries have fiberglass retaining mats protecting every positive plate.

Or I might even dramatize the fact that in recent tests based on SAE life cycle standards, Autolight's stay full batteries gave 70% longer average life than batteries without stay full features. Well, anyway, one thing I definitely will say, friends, is your pace to see your Autolight battery dealer for an Autolight's stay full battery,

because you're always right with Autolight. And now, with the escape of Lately Abbott and the performance of William Powell, Autolight hopes once again to keep you in... SaaS! Ben! Yes, you! The position of authority.

Come here! You can always tell by their voices. Sign up! Commanding. The smaller the authority, the more commanding the voice. Yeah, hear me? Yes, sir. Sign out, you said. Here? Right below where you signed when you came in.

Of course. Heh, heh, heh. A perfect forgery. I beg your pardon? Well, I mean, your signature is almost an exact copy. You object? I know, sir. You think you're talking to one of your lunatics upstairs?
