Transcript
The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents This is your FBI This is your FBI The official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation presented as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community.

It's your FBI, just starting. Do you know who sponsors that program? Sure I do. My good friends, the Equitable Life Assurance Society. Just last Wednesday, my Equitable Representative was telling me about a special life insurance plan for men and women on the way up.
That's a great life insurance plan. So naturally I know that this is your FBI is sponsored by the Equitable Society. And in just 15 minutes I'll give you full information about the Equitable Society's plan for men and women on the way up.
