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.
During the past few days, representatives of the Equitable Life Assurance Society have been busy sending out postcards to their neighbors. Perhaps you've received one yourself from your own equitable man. If so, you know that these postcards simply ask you to listen to the Middle Commercial on this Equitable Society Radio program.
Equitable representatives have gone to the trouble because this commercial has a very important message. It describes the Equitable Society's independent 60s plan, a practical workable plan for people who want to be independent after they're 60 years old.
I'll be back in approximately 14 minutes to give you full information on this special plan offered by the equitable life-assuring society of the United States. Tonight's FBI file, the rocking chair, shakedown. Future historians may well refer to this as the age of the million, for we have come to be a people who think and talk about a million as if at where an ordinary number.
We have come to the point where we feel no shock when we learn that the fingerprint arrest records on file at the Federal Bureau of Investigation number more than seven and a half million. Better stop for an instant and examine that figure.
How big is seven and a half million? Divide it into our total population and you'll learn that virtually one out of every twenty people in the country, including women and children, has such an arrest record.
