Joseph Cotton He will catch you where you're racing like a local coyote hi, chef

Well, I've got a date to tell folks that for the swellest, sweetest, and smoothest performance money can buy, you just can't beat those world-famous, ignition-engineered auto-light spark plugs. Well, even a ignorant critter like me knows that!

Sure, chef! And I'll bet you also know that if your present spark plugs aren't functioning properly, your car won't give you the performance it should. Have those spark plugs checked by your auto-light spark plug dealer, the expert in cleaning and adjustment.

If replacements are needed, he'll recommend ignition-engineered autolight spark plugs. Either standard or resistor type. Yep, wait, there's smoother and gram or flapjacks. All right, you are. So see your nearest autolight spark plug dealer. To quickly locate him, phone Western Union by number and ask for operator 25.

Remember, from bumper to tail light, you're always right with autolight. And now, autolight presents Tom Dooling, starring Mr. Joseph Cotton, hoping once again to keep you in suspense. Bow down your head Tom Doolie, bow down your head and cry, bow down your head Tom Doolie, you know you're bound to die.

Oh, oh. You wait here, Noah. You're full Tom. You're gonna do it. You're gonna stop me cousin. Just watch the horses. Open! Yes? What? You be Paul Cabot. Yes, I'm Cabot. What... Get up!
