from The Whistler: Old Time Radio Mysteries · host WOTR Radio Network

What Makes A Murderer (8-13-1945)At some point, a mild-mannered stockbroker decides he’s had enough of his dull, everyday routine and tosses it all aside for a shot at romance and adventure in Florida...and surprisingly, he finds both!

One commercial even points out that while new cars are already rolling into production, most folks will be waiting about three years before they can get their hands on one.
