Transcript

The makers of Alka-Seltzer bring you Lum and Abner. Say friends, Lum and Abner have asked me to remind you that we all have a big job on our hands these days making our country strong.

No matter how big or how small that job of yours is, it plays an important part in making the American way of life safe. Your job is mighty important to you too as an individual, so don't take any chances with it.

Always be prepared for quick pleasant relief for the headaches, the minor stomach upsets and muscular aches and pains, the fatigue that can so easily keep you from doing your best. Never be without a package of Alka-Celser tablets at your place of work as well as at home.

With Alka-Celser handy, relief for so many common work disturbers can be yours on a moment's notice. Now, that's been the experience of thousands of other Americans, and what Alka-Celser has done for them, it can do for you too.

So on your way to work in the morning, stopped in at your favorite drug store and buy a package of Alka-Celser tablets. Many is the time you will be thankful for your farsightedness. And now, let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge.

Bum and Abner made an important discovery last week when Abner dropped the mysterious box that was left with them for safekeeping. They were told that the box only contained insurance papers, but the impact of the fall exposed a secret compartment, revealing a leather sack filled with diamonds.

As we look in on the little community today, we find Lum and Dabner, down at their new bank in the store, examining the contents of the box again. Listen. You see, there are one of these insurance papers that you got the same name on.
