Lum and Abner – Efficiency Measures At Work. 440720

Lum is still trying to figure what went wrong in the meeting yesterday, and Abner’s part in turning the tables from investment, to asking for a loan. Should he leave it up to Abner to make it right? The reference to a figurehead gets Abner a little confused.

Cedric is on the way, and the gents discuss his simplemindedness. Extra double wonderful world! Why is Cedricc so happy today? Did he get a promotion at the defense plant? He tells about his winning idea to increase efficiency. The idea proves to Abner that he was right about how smart the lad is.

Have a seat. Get comfortable. Cedric tells how his suggestion uses the conveyor belt to help during lunch breaks. Its not so much about eating fast, but incorporating lunch time into production Time. It could save so much time that labor costs could cut out an entire employee from the line. Who is the poor guy who gets the ax? Good thing they’re paying for suggestions, Cedric is going to need it.
