Transcript

The signal oil program? The Whistler. That whistle 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, rated by Independent Research, the most popular West Coast program in radio history. 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's strange story. Three times a sinner. Lydia Hunter stood alone in the kitchen, watching the coffee bubble in the electric percolator. She knew Gerald would want his coffee when it was over.

He always did want anything excited him, and she reasoned quite correctly that nothing excites a man more than being told by his doctor that he's going to die. The attack had come in the early evening, while Gerald was seated at the organ playing a Bach fugue.

The music had suddenly stopped. He'd run from the library into the study to find him unconscious on the floor. He'd call Dr. Farmer, and then it made Gerald as comfortable as possible until the doctor arrived.

Everything Gerald could expect from his beautiful wife. He stared down at the coffee, bubbling in the glass top of the percolator, waiting. Then, that was just like him. The examination was over and he was back at the organ again.
