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 Investigations. Presenters of public servants by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community.

Since the Equitable Life Assurance Society was founded 90 years ago, This country has changed in many ways, but in one respect it is still the same. In those early days people always spoke of America as the land of opportunity.

It still is the land of opportunity just as much as ever. In just a few minutes, in tonight's Middle Commercial, the equitable society will have a special message for listeners who agree with this philosophy.

We will describe a special life insurance plan for men and women on the way up, offered by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. Tonight's FBI file, the Cup Great Calivans. Americans are nomadic people, constantly on the search for a new horizon.

We are in perpetual movement, and a movie of an almost any of our largest cities is a rarity. Perhaps one of the reasons for that is our ever-growing number of facilities for transportation. As it's terms now, a person can cross the nation in a handful of hours, and scientists foresee planes in the near future, which will yet prepare the passenger from New York to Los Angeles between breakfast and lunch.

But there are some, and they will always be with us, for whom such speed is neither necessary nor even desirable. They prefer to travel by automobile, and for them they pray do not wish to drive themselves.
