Auto-light, and its 98,000 dealers bring you Mr. Frank Lovejoy, and tonight's presentation of... Suspents! Tonight, Auto-light presents the story of a man who wanted to save his life, but he had to get into a fight to do it.
And the fight was with the giant of Thermopylae, our star, Mr. Frank Lovejoy. Doing some gardening? Yes, sir, happen. Here's my favorite plant. Well, it's an auto-light, stay-full better. Sure, the power plant for quick, dependable starts, app.
And unlike other plants, this one needs watering only three times a year in normal car use. It's a daisy, Arnold. Sure is, app. It's fern away the best battery blooming. And it never gets bush.
Of course not. The auto-light stay-full can take it better than a cactus plant, because of fiberglass retaining mats around every positive plate. They prevent shedding and flaking to give the auto-light stay-full longer life, as proved by tests conducted according to accepted life cycle standards.
Do you dig me, Hap? Had you planted before you opened your two lips, Charlie? Oh, OK. Then cultivate the acquaintance of the best battery buttonist in town, your auto light battery dealer. He'll give your car that hardy perennial, the auto light, stay full, the battery that needs water only three times a year in normal car use.
Remember, from bumper to tail light, you're always right with auto light. And now, Otto Leit presents transcribed Mr. Frank Lovejoy in The Giant of Thermopylae, hoping once again to keep you in suspense. Bernard Waters?
Waters? Right here. All right, son, let's go. Sure thing. Yeah, I'm on me. Yeah, I'm on you. All right. You got it. You got it. You got it. What's happening, Constable? Happening? As your lucky day, big fella, you're getting out.
