Signal Gasoline. Let every traffic signal remind you. You do go farther with Signal Gasoline. Yes, you do go farther with Signal. The Signal Oil Company and your neighborhood Signal Dealer bring you another curious story by the Whistler.
Tonight, death pays a visit. I am the Whistler. And I know many things. Or 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. The Crowley's are a typical young married couple, the kind of people you have living on your block. A little more prosperous than most perhaps drive a better car nicer clothes, you know.
Funny too, because Jake Crowley only earns 4750 a week as Assistant Manager of a branch of Sellers National Bank. And the neighbors might be surprised to learn that the Crowleys have only $321.17 in their joint bank account.
