Transcript

The adventures of Sam Spade Detective, brought to you by Wildroot Cream Oil Heratonic, the non-alcoholic heratonic that contains Lanolin, Wildroot Cream Oil, again and again, the choice of men who put good grooming first. It's me, sweetheart, risen from not one but two deathbeds.

Oh, Sam, I bet not. You wouldn't take that line down. Oh. Well, you did first, Sam. I did not. Oh, you mean you actually did? Oh, don't pin me down. Anyway, I was present at two dying declarations.

Would you believe Effie that a man could say something that wasn't true at a time like that? Oh no. You mean a man would be lying? And is that there? Oh, Sam, that's not stopping. I don't know what you are.

It's all right, Effie. I forgive you. You're gonna tone by telling me how wonderful you think I am. I think you... That you may do when I arrive at a thrice to dictate my report on the Deathbed Capers.

The National Hamlet, America's leading detective fiction writer and creator of Sam Spade, the heart-boiled Private Eye, and William Spear, Radio's outstanding producer-director of Mystery and Crime Trauma, join their talents to make your hair stand on end with the adventures of Sam Spade, presented by the makers of Wildroot Cream Oil for the hair.

Tell me, mister, how many times a day do you have to comb your hair? Not many I'll bet if you groom it right, first thing every morning, with wild root cream oil. For this famous hair tonic grooms your hair neatly and naturally, and helps it to stay that way throughout the day.

Wild root cream oil also relieves dryness and removes loose dandruff. With wild root cream oil, you don't have to keep combing your hair every two minutes. That is, unless your gal can't resist running your hands through it.
