Horlicks: Use it for weight control. It keeps your alert. It’s a wonderful drink for youngsters as well. Carlton Bricker says that there has been so many requests for flashlights that the factory has had trouble keeping up, but the promo is still open.

The campaign for store president reaches fever pitch. Dick talks with Abner about ways to campaign for president. Abner leaves as Lum arrives, and Lum comments on Abner’s technique on restocking the store’s shelves. They also chat about Abner’s crazy inventions he has on his farm.

Lum will get on the party line later to relate the flashlight shortage, and assure that everyone who requested one would get it eventually. Abner returns to announce he just hired a campaign manager.

Carlton Bricker gives the flashlight details, and warns to act fast, since the offer will end soon.

PS: From reading the title of the show, and its description, it may seem to be the wrong show. In the show, briefly, it does mention concern over Lum having to go to jail over the theft incident.

Note: I don’t have any flashlights, the offer ended over 70 years ago. Please don’t expect a flashlight from me. You can still send me your comments and a donation. Just use my snail mail address, located at the bottom of the web page.
