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

In the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, nearly four million members are banded together to build better futures for themselves and their families. Their reasons for becoming equitable society policyholders are many, but certainly among the most unselfish and far-sighted equitable society members are those parents who have seen the wisdom of an equitable education fund. Fathers and mothers,

in just 14 minutes the equitable society, will tell you how to make sure that your children get the funds necessary for the education you want them to have through an equitable education fund. Tonight, FBI file, not Phantom Mine!

Though the type of person who would be willing to pay more for an article in the black market, then he would be willing to pay for the same article if he were able to buy it legitimately across the counter.

That type of person is always looking for an angle, for a connection through whom he may be able for a little while longer, to put off the ignominy of going to work. There is nothing such a person detests more than the idea and the practice of a day's wage for a day's work.

Those people are known as operators, and even when they continue for years to be small operators, they never lose hope that one day through some miracle they will become Mr. Big Shot. In their eyes a Big Shot is anyone who does not have to work for a living, but who makes his money through lying, cheating, or killing.
