When people write letters praising the commercials on a radio program, that's new. Well, it happens scores of times to the Equitable Life Insurance Society. People say that commercials on this Equitable Society program are packed with helpful information.

Give them an entirely new slant on life insurance. Tonight's Equitable Commercial is no exception. Tonight, in just 14 minutes, you're going to hear about a type of insurance that's important to 50 million Americans. Most of whom know rightly nothing about it.

Be sure to listen carefully to this message on group insurance from the Equitable Life Insurance Society. Tonight's FBI file, The Trail of Terror. In the early days of the nation, the West was considered to be the gathering place for every lawbreaker who was awaiting the police of his native state.

It's true that in those days there were whole cities made up of fugitive criminals. Red Man rode the plains and committed untold havoc among the early pioneer settlers. Life was rugged, and the only the very strongest were able to survive.

But today things are different. Today in every western state you find evidence that life is not much different than it is in the east. For people are basically the same wherever they live. Most of them are decent law abiding citizens.

Tom, well, some of them are throwbacks to the Old West. The West that grew up to the constant noise of gunfire. The Old West where few men met death naturally. The night fire opens on a lonely gutted road, winding through the flatlands of one of our western states.
