Transcript

And now stay tuned for the program to this rated tops and 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 to enable the entire production staff of the Whistler to spend New Year's Day at home with their families.
