We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

I’ll drop her a card. (Slight pause) Colonel. — That was a clever piece of work. Dr. Simon. Please tell our Palmolive Shave Cream audience how Inspector Haynes followed it up. Simon. — Well, Colonel, 4 days later. Inspector Haynes and special agent Dennison arrived in St. Petersburg and talked with the local post office officials. (Fade in)
