The signal oil program? The Whistler. Back Whistler. Is your signal for the signal oil program? The Whistler. A. M. The Whistler. And I know many things before I walk by night.

I know many strange tales, hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes. I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak. Yes friends, it's time for the Signal Oil program, the Whistler, rated by independent research, the most popular West Coast program.

In gasoline, you know, it takes extra quality to go farther, and signal is the famous go farther gasoline. So look for the signal circle sign in yellow and black that identifies signal service stations from Canada to Mexico.

And now the Whistler's strange story, the Blue Legend. In most cases that lead to murder, the original impulse is a basic part of a man's character, a hidden ingredient in his makeup that may take years to find its way to the surface.

And George Canto was no exception. For months Canto had been a hang-around around Juneau, a Natalie dressed man with a big background and enough book knowledge of mineralogy to get him by. But even though Kanto himself didn't realize it, murder was already there.

And it began to come to the surface that day he looked up big Mike Brennan in his polished pine domain on the hill and back of town. Oh, now wait a minute, Kanto. What are you trying to hand me?

Only the biggest thing you ever got a whiff of, that's all, Mike. Heh heh heh. You know, I like you, Kanto. You've got your dreams. Only when you've been around this country as long as I have, you won't fall for every rumor that comes along.
