I don't believe I saw a ring. I know his alarm. I'll believe you're right. No, see. Hello, Johnum Downstorps. This is Love and Abner. Let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge. Well, Love and Abner have given up the modern method of salesmanship and running their store and have settled back once again

into the checker playing point of view. To make their decision final, Lum went into the county seat this morning to return the book, the book Magic Salesmanship and to get his money back. As we're looking on a little community now we find Abner in the Jotam Down store. That alum has just returned. Listen.

Did you get the two dollars back long? No they won't take books back in there. Well did you tell them it never worked? Yeah but he says they never guaranteed to increase our business now. Well the book claimed it would increase your business 72 person. I know. I know. I told him we tried it for a week and stood a helping our business

that run all of our customers off. They're all trading over Dick Houston's door now. Well, long. Why don't we sell the book to Dick then? Maybe he'll start trying that modern sealedmanship method and run the customers all back over here. I wouldn't give this thing to my worst enemy. Oh. Magic salesmanship. Only thing magic about this is it makes your

customers disappear. Well I don't leave it laying around here long you might forget yourself and start reading it sometime. I ain't gonna leave it no place I'm gonna burn the thing up for somebody else makes a mistake of reading it too.
