Transcript

Let every go signal remind you that you do go farther with signal gasoline. The Signal Oil Program. The Signal Oil Company and your neighborhood signal dealer bring you another curious story by the Whistler. Tonight, the tale of a man who betrayed his country for money.

The story of how death carries a lunch kit. I am the Whistler, and I know many things, for I walk by night. Secrets from the hearts of men and women who stepped into the shadows.

Presently I'll tell you, of nameless terrors they dare not speak. In a moment the Whistler will tell you his gripping story. But first I'd like to pass along an interesting comparison made by a signal gasoline dealer, who changed my motor oil recently.

Signal four star motor oil is like a bank, he said. The bank not only protects your money, but also pays you interest. This fine pre-war quality motor oil protects your motor by coating every part with a tough, lasting film of lubrication that resists heat and wear.

I know Signal 4-star is pre-war quality, and I know it protects my motor, I reply. But tell me, where does the interest come in? That, he said, is something extra you get. The carbon removing property in signal four star motor oil.

You see laboratory tests prove that while it's lubricating your motor, signal four star motor oil actually dissolves out carbon that could cause serious motor damage. Well then tell me I asked, how come more people aren't using signal four star motor oil?

When they find out about this feature he replied, smart motorists switch to four star in a hurry, especially operators of fleets of cars and trucks who keep a record of performance and can't afford to have vehicles laid up.
