This is case closed, crime stories from the golden age of radio.

Personal notice, dangers my stock and trade.

If the job's too tough for you to handle, you got a job for me, George Valentine.

Write full details.

I'm... Standard Oil Company of California, on behalf of independent Chevron gas stations and standard station throughout the West, invite you to Let George do it.

The Old Style, another adventure of George Valentine.

Mr. George Valentine, dear sir, my name is Jeremiah Stark. Perhaps you've heard it in connection with crime, with the study of crime, that is. I am, by vocation, an antiquarian, the owner of a modest curio shop on South Lane.

But by application, Mr. Valentine, I've become rather an authority, if I do say so myself,

on those desperate and terrifying deeds which men have committed in the past.

Mr. Valentine, I've only this morning stumbled into a mystery

so intriguing

that I am at a complete

loss to solve its riddle.

Perhaps you can.

Or

perhaps someone

must die.

Sincerely,

Jeremiah's talk.

It's certainly a curio shop, all right.

Antique bedsteads, not boxes, and old porcelain.

Everything but a Venus with a clock in her stomach.
