These fifteen-minute episodes of mystery and espionage from the 1939 broadcasts begin with a prolonged organ intro so the local announcer could get in a couple of commercials for the local furniture store or dairy!

He doesn't sound or seem very heroic or interesting... which would make him even more effective as a spy! The spy's best disguise is a perfectly ordinary and uninteresting demeanor.

Fear of the market — "Is now the right time to buy?" Fear of making a mistake — "What if there's something wrong with the house I want to buy?"
