The New Adding Machine

I don't believe that's our ring. I don't believe you're right. No, see. Hello, Johnum Downstor. This is love and after. Let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge. After buying a book, Magic Salesmanship, Lum received a letter from the publishers informing him that he'd been selected to receive a free scholarship in one of their correspondence courses.

Needless to say, Lum has wasted no time Tom has wasted no time in taking advantage of this generous offer for a higher education. And as we look in on our friends today, we find Abner at the store.

Tom has just entered. Yeah, that's the reason I was late getting down. I stopped to send that letter to the correspondent school. Well, that oughtn't until it took you that long. Well, I had to decide which course I wanted to take and all.

Oh, well, which one did you pick out? Well, I never picked none out. I just wrote and thanked them for winning the free scholarship. and told them I was just going to leave it up to them, which one to send me?

Well, you don't care what's there, huh? Well, they all sound good. Corporation, executive, and architect, and civil engineer, and detective, and I don't know who to. Yeah, that's what I'd love to be a detective.

I used to have a book on that myself. Yeah, I know you did. Oh, it's interesting, all right. I can't wait to see what they decided for me to be. Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you, lama.

That thing come a while ago. What thing? That contract that you bought in the county seat yesterday. Oh, you mean the ad machine? Yeah, it's sitting back there on the counter. Well, why didn't you tell me? Did you try it out?
