Transcript

In just a moment, suspense with Lucille Ball. Hi, Arnold. Well, look who's here. Say it's mighty nice of you to be sitting around all week just to hear me tell more about auto-light. Oh, I haven't been waiting around all week.

Why, I was waiting up in Oregon. Oh, that's well. That's well. Hey, Hap, do you know the real story about auto-light stay-full batteries? Well, sure. I know the real story about auto-light stay-full batteries. Need to order only three times a year in normal car use?

What a battery. Staple, that is. Why, by Cornelius, an auto-light stay-full battery has more liquid reserve than a centipede has legs than an ocean has waves than a rabbit has... well, rabbits. Water, whales, spouted geysers, gush it, people drink it, but auto-light stay-full batteries carry good old aqua purer so long and so well they take a drink about as often as you

have a birthday, a wedding anniversary and a new year's celebration. Only three times a year in normal car use. Let me tell you something else. You'd better get an auto light stay full battery before...

And before you go on some more Harlow, let's listen to suspense. So spend's auto light and its 60,000 dealers and service stations bring you radio's outstanding theater of thrills. Starring tonight, Miss Lucille Ball, in Anton Leader's production of A Little Piece of Rope. A tale well calculated to keep you in.

So spend's. They said I'd never make good here in Hollywood. Everywhere I went it was the same story. Sure they'd see me, but the minute they took a look at my baby face, all I'd get was advice and excuses. No job.
