Shadow known. Shadow known. Again, blue-cold dealers present radio's strangest adventurer, the Shadow. Mystery man who strikes terror under the very hearts of shops as law-breakers and criminals. Today, blue-cold brings you the Shadow's latest adventure, the White Legion.

Ladies and gentlemen, in just a moment our last adventure with the shadow for this season will begin. In the meantime, let's give a thought to the special heating problems of the spring season. Springtime means warm days, cool days, showers and uneven temperatures that bring colds and sipples.

So guard against uncertain weather. Burn blue cold on your heating flat, for blue cold protects against varying temperatures. It's harmless blue color is your guarantee of steadier, more dependable heat at less cost. So when you're buying fuel, insist on blue coal, Pennsylvania's finest oversight.

Order a trial time from your nearest blue coal dealer tomorrow. And listen for the shadow's important message at the end of the program. Smith, will you bring me those papers? I said to Gavin. Which one of you is William Devins?
