Transcript

The makers of Alka Seltzer bring you Lum and Abner. As we're looking on the old fellows today, we find them down at their combination Jotam Down store in Pine Ridge, United Bank.

Lumb can hardly wait for an answer to his letter. Look out the window there, everyone seat the meal carriers cars in front of Dick Kudram's store, yeah. I just looked a minute ago and he warned in you.

Well, it ain't gonna hurt you to look. All right, I'll look. I'll do it, but I'll get nothing. Ladies, one human I ever seen in my life. Well, I looked a hundred times. No, it ain't bad.

May told his horse is tied out to the entrant. That's the only human around that. He's late today. Well, what are you, Sir, anxious for the mail fair to get care for? I'd just like to see the US give him that mail delivered on time.

So, you know what? Why are you anxious for the mail to get care? If you think I'm expecting an answer from the letter better I wrote Miss Bangton in Kansas City, you're crazy. Well, you ain't had time to hear from a jetlong.

I have done it. She got my letter yesterday. And if she'd have read right back, I'd have an answer in here today. Yeah, but if that ain't her diamonds, we got in a safe way.

She might not answer a call. Well, I sent her a picture of myself. She ain't going to just eat and or that, is she? Did you ever write your name on that picture? No, what?

Well, I just wondered if she'd know who it was. Well, I know that. You don't know what's me. I wouldn't be sending a picture of somebody else in my letter, would I? No, I just have to think, though.
