Auto-light and its 98,000 dealers bring you Mr. Ronald Coleman in tonight's presentation of... SUS-Spence! Auto-light brings you the story of a mind-reader who discovers his nightclub act is not a fake. A vision of death. Our star Mr. Ronald Coleman.

What's the trouble, Oscar Otto? It's my battery, huh? Why, sure. But why not avoid that battery distress, Oscar? Get an auto light stay full, the battery that needs water only three times a year in normal car use.

You said a fact, Carlo? The fact that millions of cars and owners have proved for themselves, Oscar, and the auto light stay full gives longer life too. Fiberglass retaining mats protect every positive plate to reduce shedding and flaking, and give the auto light stay full longer life, as proved by tests conducted according to accepted life cycle standards.

Where do I get this all? From your nearest auto light battery dealer, to quickly locate him, phone Western Union by number, and ask for operator 25. I'll tell you the name of your nearest auto-light battery dealer, where you can get an auto-light stayful.

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. And now, auto-light presents a vision of death, starring Mr. Ronald Coleman, hoping once again to keep you in... suspense.

If I speak too rapidly for your stenographer, you'll tell me, won't you, Lieutenant? No offense, but he impresses me as someone who has to sit on the floor to put on his shoes. And stop me if I seem to wander away from the point, won't you?

I mean to say, this is my first, and I hope final appearance in a police precinct, and I should hate to give a sloppy performance. We were always known, or arora, and I for the smoothness and gem-like precision of our act.
