Transcript

I don't believe I saw a ring. I know the alarm I'll believe you're right. No, see. Hello, John, I'm down store. This is love and after. Let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge.

The influence of Dogeny Smith lingers on in Pine Ridge. The other day while cleaning out the feed room, the old fellows ran across the printing press that the now-reformed Dogeny's used in his counterfeiting business.

And immediately, Lum decided that they should take up printing should take up printing as a sideline. As we look in on the little community today, we find Lum in the Jotam Downs to Run Library proudly showing Abner the results of his first printing efforts, some statements for their store.

Here they are, Abner. Don't they look like Rio Geno on professional deals? I don't see them. Yeah, as old as they do, Mom. Well, them things look like I like to build the wholesale houses all the same.
