Transcript

The makers of Alka-Celcer bring you Lumb and Abner. So, Edward's saying, I'm sure, two heads are better than one. Well, that's true, just as long as you don't have a headache and either of them.

Or you know when this common ailment comes along, it's mighty upsetting. As we all know, if a headache's ever made life miserable for us. Now, because headaches can make things so unpleasant, why not be prepared for the discomfort they caused?

Never be without a package of Alka-Seltzer tablets handy, both at home and at work. When you take Alka-Seltzer for headaches, you feel better fast, thanks to the unusually effective analgesic pain reliever which it contains.

So, try it, will you? You can get fast acting relief-giving Alka-Seltzer at any drug store, rather packaged or by the glass at the soda fountain. Now, let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge.

Well, plans are underway to carry out Mausi Grey's utopian scheme for spending the $10,000. Every citizen of Pine Ridge is looking forward to moving into a brand new modern apartment and residing there at no expense, while Lumen Abner are happily contemplating the $320,000 profit, which according to Mausi's figures, they are supposed to net from the sale of old houses.

As we look at them a little community today, we find Lum and Mousey in the Jotam Downster Run Library working on the plans for the apartments. No, no, no. See, I think we better call this first apartment with the L. The L. Eterds Memoria, oh man, our number one. We can name one of the other apartment buildings after you.

Yes, sir, but don't forget Lum. This whole thing was my idea. I've thought about this plan so much. It, well, it just seems like a mother to me. Yeah, but don't you forget Mousey. I'm the the one that dodgy needs left in charge of the $10,000.
