Auto-light and its 98,000 dealers bring you Mr. Charles Boye in tonight's presentation of suspense. Tonight, Auto-light presents the true story of a man who alone was responsible for most of the methods of police detection in use today.
It's called the Bertillion Method, our star Mr. Charles Boye. Only a few days left to sign up for the Autolight family charity drawing. This is Harlow Wilcox reminding you that unless you register by this Monday, May 3rd, you will miss out on the greatest opportunity ever offered for your church, hospital, school or other favorite charity to share in $100,000.
Listen to what this Connecticut woman recently said. My name is Mrs. Leon Barr. I have just signed up for this drawing. I think it a wonderful opportunity for people to help their pet charities. And if my name is selective, I shall designate our Greenwich Hospital.
So act fast, sign up tomorrow at any or all of these auto-light family car dealer showrooms. The Soto Hudson Plymouth Due to Baker Dodge, Willis, Nash, Packard, Kaiser, or Chrysler. Remember, there's nothing to try or buy, no obligation except printing your name and address.
But if you are one of the 25 selected, you will designate your favorite recognized charity to share in $100,000. But remember, there are only a few days left to register, so make sure you sign up tomorrow.
And now, AutoLite presents transcribed Mr. Charles Boyer in the Bertilion Method, hoping once again to keep you in suspense. At the turn of the century and the fall spring rain, and a place of Paris, the boi, a place of fountains, winding promenade.
Now of this, a drip of rain on leafless trees, and the body of a man lying on the thawing earth. A man doubled over, wrapped in tar paper, bound tightly with rope, murdered man, and He's kneeling over him.
