Transcript

The signal oil program, the Whistler, that whistle is your signal for the signal oil program, the Whistler. I'm the Whistler, and I know many things before I walk by night. I know many strange tales,

hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadow. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak. Yes friends, it's time for the Signal Oil program, the Whistler, rated tops in popularity for a longer period of time than any other West Coast program in radio history.

And Signal gasoline is tops too, tops in quality. It takes extra quality, you know, to give you extra mileage. And Signal is the famous Go farther gasoline. So look for the Signal Circle sign in yellow and black that identifies friendly dealer-owned signal stations from Canada to Mexico.

It had been over six years since her foster brother Ted had left for the Orient on that government mission and he was still out there somewhere between Manila and Shanghai alive or dead. It was a terrible thing to admit even to herself but she was even wishing now for any kind of message. Even one stating Ted was dead at least

would end the waiting at least it would be better than not knowing at all. George please I don't want to talk about it anymore Ted's been on my mind for so long now that I wish I could forget about him for a while.
