Transcript

Suspens! Auto-light and its 96,000 dealers present Mr. Ray Milan in pearls or a nuisance. A suspense play produced and edited by William Speer. Mr. Wilcox, what are the batteries for today's game? Why, my beautiest Bobby Socks neighbor, the batteries in today's driving game are the auto-light stay full batteries.

The batteries that need water only three times a year in normal car use. You don't understand, I mean... Well, certainly I understand. You mean the auto light stay full battery is right in there pitching with day after day dependability.

And you're right in there catching all the advantages of longer battery life. 70% longer average life in fact than batteries without the stay full features. And this is proven by test conducted according to SAE life cycle standard.

But I mean baseball. Right over the plate my girl, the auto light stay full battery has three times as much liquid reserve above the plates. as batteries without stay-full features. That's why it needs water only three times a year in normal car use.

Mr. Wilcox, let's get back to... To the batteries? For today's car, it's auto-light state-full batteries. The batteries that need water only three times a year in normal car use. And remember, friends, you're always right with auto-light.

And now, with pearls, our enusions and the performance of Ray Milan. Auto-light hopes once again to keep you in... SARS-SPAN! It's quite true I wasn't doing anything that morning except looking at a blank sheet of paper in my typewriter and thinking about writing a letter.

It's also quite true that I don't have a great deal to do any morning, but I like not doing anything. It gives me something to do. And I don't like telephone calls and interfere with it.
