Let every ghost signal remind you that you do go farther with signal gasoline the signal oil program Bringing you another strange tale by the Whistler Tonight the story of a weird game of murder of a threat which brought the deadly answer Not if I kill you first. I am the Whistler and I know many things for I walk by night

I know many strange tales Many secrets 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. But first, I'd like to take a moment to tell you about Joe Jegers, Signal Gasoline Station in Oakland, California.

It's busy as a beehive hours before most alarm clocks begin to jingle. Joe opens this signal station at the cold grey hour of 4.45 to get ready for early morning defense workers, because, as Joe puts it, their jobs are helping win the war, and I'm glad to serve them.

During the day, Joe finds time for another unusual service. Many servicemen's families don't have cameras, so with his fine speed graphic, Joe takes pictures of them for mailing to their men overseas. Well, we can't expect all signal dealers to open at 445 and take pictures for servicemen, As Joe Jager does, but every Signal Dealer has his own way of delivering extra services,

even these days. That's because Signal Gasoline dealers don't operate just for today. With them, serving you is their permanent business, and will be through years to come. They know your car needs even better service today, when it must last out the duration, and parts are hard to get.
