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.

Others will see to it that your home is not destroyed by termites, and still others will supply any service you happen to need from babysitting to flagpole sitting.
