This Is Your FBI: The Skid Row Shakedown

The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents This is your FBI. This is your FBI. The Official Broadcast from the Fios 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.

All through the coming week representatives of the Equitable Life Assurance Society will be busy answering their telephones. Same as to Wakefield, I heard about that fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers that the equitable society is offering on this as your FBI. Sounds like a great idea. Could you bring me one?

That's what's been happening every week since we started offering this fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers. Listen carefully in about 14 minutes and you'll learn more about this famous chart created for you by the Equitable Life of Shoring Society of the United States.

Tonight FBI file, the Skid Row Shakedown. The face of America is freckled with cities of such beauty that they make you hold your breath when you first see them. New York on a spring night when the wind comes crawling through Central Park.

San Francisco when the gentle fog wraps Knob Hill in a white blanket as a gift for the sightseer to take home. New Orleans, when Canal Street lights up with the gaiety they call the Mardi Gras.

Those are just a few of the things that make a trip through our big city so memorable. But there are other places in our urban centers. Other places not so attractive. Places like the Bowery in New York.

Main Street in Los Angles. West Madison Street in Chicago. Each has a different name, but they are all alike. They are the streets to which men go and hope dies, and when it makes very little difference to them whether they die too.
