The Signal Oil Program. Yes, the Signal Oil Program. The Whistler. Yes, friends, that whistle is your signal for the Signal Oil Program, the Whistler. The Mystery Program that is unique among all Mystery Programs. Because even when you know who's guilty, and you see his every move or know his complete plans, you always receive a startling surprise at the final curtain.
In 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 the Whistler for tops in entertainment. And for tops in gasoline quality, it's signal. It takes extra quality, you know, to give you extra mileage.
And Signal is the famous Go Father gasoline. So look for the Signal Circle sign in yellow and black that identifies independently operated signal stations from Canada to Mexico. And now the Whistler Strange Story. Golden Opportunity.
