The Signal Oil Program? The Whistler? That Whistler is your signal for the Signal Oil Program? The Whistler? I am the Whistler, and I know many things for 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 Whistler. And remember, let every traffic signal remind you, with new signal gasoline you do go farther than ever.
Look for the familiar big yellow and black circle sign that identifies those popular signal service stations in seven western states from Canada to Mexico. And now the Whistler Strange Story. The Strange Sisters. The three Randall girls were as different from each other from each other as day and night. Even the people of Newton who had watched them grow
up found it hard to accept the fact that they were sisters. Pamela, the eldest, was forceful and overbearing, heavy-set and unattractive. Kathy, the youngest, was a weakling. Life was a little too complicated for her and she found the easiest solution was to let Pamela face it, to bring her problems to Pamela, to
to listen meekly to Pamela's instructions and then to quietly obey. Yes, Pamela and Kathy were two extremes. And Sally, the third sister, was in the middle, both in age and temperament. The combination of Pamela's strength and Kathy's frailty had produced in Sally a kind of radiance that had made life easy for her.
That had made her sure of success where her sisters had failed. And the more she succeeded, the harder it became for Pamela and Kathy to face it. Until one morning Mrs. Stokes, the housekeeper, called Kathy for breakfast.
