And now stay tuned for the program that has rated tops in popularity for a longer period of time than any other West Coast program in radio history. The Signal Oil Program, the Whistler. Signal, the famous Go Father Gasoline, invites you to sit back and enjoy another strange story by the Whistler.
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.
And now for the signal oil company, the Whistler's strange story, a trip to Aunt Sarah's. Carl Halliday was a desperate man. All the while he was driving from summit to the northwest town of Kinsley, he was haunted by the nagging realization that if all Jace Melton and Associate of Carl's late uncle refused to help him, the holiday lumber mills would be no more.
And seated beside him, a constant reminder of the impending defeat was his partner Max Fennar, whom Carl had inherited along with half interest in the mills from his uncle. Between the two of them, they'd managed to bring the lumber mills to the brink of oblivion, And only Jace Methel's assistance could save it now.
Max remained in the car outside, while Carl Halliday pleaded his case with the elderly gentleman, whom Carl believed could save the mills with a single word. You're being unreasonable, completely unreasonable. I think the same of you.
You suggest that I sell a valuable piece of land in Mexico to save a lumber mill, which your operations have brought to the brink of ruin. The land in Mexico was half mine, Jace, remember that.
