Dutch Schultz, our star Mr. Broderick Crawford. See, Harlow. October's great, isn't it? Yes, sir, hap. Great for football, long drive. And for checking spark plugs, too! That's right, Johnny Plugg, check. Now's the time to get that car winterized.
And along with that antifreeze, change of oil and grease. Don't forget the spark plugs. How could anyone forget, Harlow? Spark plugs are the very heart of the car's ignition system. They sure are, Hap. And when they're right, you will start quicker and shorter every time, even in the coldest winter weather.
So don't delay friends. Visit your auto light spark plug dealer now. He's a specialist in spark plug cleaning and adjustment. If replacements are needed, he'll recommend a set of ignition engineered, auto-light spark plugs like the amazing Double Life Resistor spark plug.
To quickly locate your nearest auto-light spark plug dealer, phone Western Union by number, and ask for operator 25. And remember, from bumper to tail light, you're always right with auto-light. And now, auto-light presents Dutch Schultz, starring Mr. Broderick Crawford, Hoping once again to keep you in suspense.
