The Thirty-Nine Steps

AutoLite and its 96,000 dealers bring you Mr. Herbert Marshall in tonight's presentation of Sal Spence. Tonight, AutoLite presents a spy story. The true story of that series of events known as the 39 Steps, starring Mr. Herbert Marshall.

No. Yes, Hap? What was in all about? I was just demonstrating the AutoLite electrical system, Hap. You weren't? Sure, it goes to work every time you start your car, sound the horn, play the radio, or turn on your lights or heater.

The electrical system does all that? Sure, the AutoLite coil distributor, generator, and all the other units and thousands of component parts. They're all related by AutoLite engineering design and manufacturing skill, and used as original factory equipment on many leading makes of our finest cars.

So friends, when your auto light equipped car needs replacement parts, insist on auto light, original factory parts. Be sure, because from bumper to tail light, you're always right with auto light. And now with the 39 steps and the performance of Mr. Herbert Marshall, auto light hopes once again to keep you in, so spins.

Of course I realize these are trying times and all that. You have your worries about foreign spies and atomic secrets of the usual international rowers. But don't get to wind up. You'll muddle through somehow, take my word for it.

And I know where I'll by speak. We had our troubles two in our day, you know. Don't as serious as seem at the time, I can tell you. For instance, did you ever hear of the 39 steps?

It was in the spring of 1914. and I'd spent the last ten years on the African felt in the Boulawao country. I made a modest little pile and come back home to enjoy it. The only difficulty was I didn't enjoy it.
