Hello, and welcome to another episode of nostalgic mystery radio.

I'm your host Stevie K.

And it's my honor to bring you the radio shows of yesteryear.

For this episode, I bring you The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, episode titled The Adventure of the Speckled Band, originally aired November 12, 1945, where a young woman

contacts Holmes and Watson for aiding foiling the villainous plans of her stepfather.

So sit back and relax, and I hope you enjoy this nostalgic mystery radio.

Thank you for listening.

This episode from the life of Sherlock Holmes will be transmitted to our men and women overseas by shortwave

and through the worldwide facilities of the Armed Forces radio service.

Petri Wine brings you... Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce

in the new adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

The Petrie family, the family that took time

to bring you good wine, invite you to listen to Dockson, tell us another exciting adventure he shared with his old friend, that master detective, Sherlock Holmes. And if you don't mind, I'd like to suggest something that you might share with your friends. And that's something is a glass of sherry before dinner. Naturally, a glass of Petri, California, Sherry.

I say Petri Sherry because it's the perfect before-dinner wine.

You couldn't think of a better way to begin a meal.

That Petri Sherry has a beautiful, inviting color like dark amber.

And for flavor, well, you've heard Sherry described many times as having a rich,

nut-like flavor. But if you want to learn for the first time with those words rich and nut-like,

really mean, you just taste Petri Sherry. It's wonderful. Serve Petri Sherry by itself,

or serve it with hors d'oeuvres or those little cocktail sandwiches. And incidentally, if you prefer your sherry dry, you know not sweet.

Just ask your wine merchant for Petri pale dry sherry.

Well, the important thing to remember is if you want sherry, you want petri sherry because that means good, Sherry.
