Hermit

And now stay tuned for the program that is rated tops in popularity for a longer period of time than any other West Coast program in radio history. The Signal Oil Program, the Quistler. Signal the famous Go Father gasoline invites you to sit back and enjoy another strange story by the Quistler.

For extra driving pleasure, the signal to look for is the yellow and black circle sign that identifies signal service stations from Canada to Mexico. And for Sunday evening listening pleasure, the signal to listen for is this whistle that identifies the signal oil program, 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 all the Whistler strange story. The Hermit. The storm made it all seem ghostly somehow unreal. Ben's face at the window, the worried frightened look in his eyes. For a moment Harvey Wilson considered giving it all up and heading back to town on the railroad station.

But the storm decided this too. It was getting worse and with his clothes already half so. Harvey Wilson was in no mood to give up. He called out again insistently. Come on Ben open up. It's your old friend Harvey. Harvey Wilson.

Oh, is he anyone? Ben, for goodness sake I'm just stopping through. You're going to make me go clear back to the station. Ben! That's better. I thought you weren't going to let me in. Well, what do you want?

Do you have no reason to call on me, Wilson? Reason, reason. That's the trouble with the world. Always have to find reasons to call excuses to visit. The old milk of humankind is almost dry.
