Big Jump

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, transcribed by the Signal Oil Company for New Year's Eve to enable the entire production staff of the Whistler to spend New Year's Eve with their families and friends.

Signal the famous Go Father gasoline, invite 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. The big jump. Only a few days before, in the midst of the Christmas season, Dave Leonard had told himself that there was no place quite like San Francisco.

It was thrilling to be a part of it. The hills, the bay, the clanging cable cars. Only a few days before, Dave had been happy with his job, his surroundings, his home, his wife. Now suddenly that was all changed, wiped away somehow.
