AutoLite and its 98,000 dealers bring you Mr. Frank Lovejoy in tonight's presentation of suspense Tonight AutoLite presents the story about a man who committed a murder and got away with it for quite a while Public Defender our star, Mr. Frank Lovejoy Hey, uh, hap why is April like an auto light staple battery? Oh, that's easy Harlow. They're both famous

Right, hap. The auto light stay full has three times the liquid reserve of ordinary batteries. And that's why it needs water only three times a year in normal car use. But that isn't all the auto light stay full is famous for.

No sir, it's famous for longer life too. Fiberglass retaining mats surround every positive plate to reduce shedding and flaking, and give the auto light stay full battery longer life, as proved by tests conducted according to accepted life cycle standards.

So he proves the month, eh, Nylo? Right. The month to visit your auto-light battery dealer, the expert on all makes of batteries. To quickly locate him, phone Western Union by number and ask for operator 25.

I'll gladly tell you the name of your nearest auto-light battery dealer, where you can get an auto-light stay full. The battery that needs water only three times a year in normal car use. And remember, from bumper to tail light, you're always right with auto-light.

Now, Otto Leite presents Public Defender, starring Mr. Frank Lovejoy, hoping once again to keep you in suspense. The newspapers say it was a matter of conscience. Well, they're wrong, dead wrong. It wasn't conscience or anything like that.

It was just the way he looked and talked. Conscience. I don't have one. I don't think you do either. It was a swell morning and they were having a swell parade. The whole town was out watching it. I was there too I didn't want to miss anything. I was standing on the north side of 6th Street off of Curtis right by the alley.
