Box 13 was a syndicated radio series about the escapades of newspaperman-turned-mystery novelist Dan Holiday .  To seek out new ideas for his fiction, Holiday ran a classified ad in the Star-Times newspaper where he formerly worked: "Adventure wanted, will go anywhere, do anything.  Write Box 13, Star-Times."  The show followed Holiday 's adventures when he responded to the letters sent to him.
