Lum and Abner – Sarge Gets A Letter. 451119

Drawing, map of downtown Pine Ridge.

In the attempt to get the sarge married off, and out of their hair, the gents finally get a response from a matrimonial bureau. Lum reads the letter to Abner. Abner gets confused over some of the typical business lingo in the letter, and the account number. If couples get together, will they be known as Mr. and Mrs. 869?

Abner brags about steaming open letters so nobody can notice they had been opened. Nice trick/./.. wait… has he ever opened one of Lum’s letters to sneak into his private business?

Miss Hartford enters with her latest business improvement, teaching the gents good customer service. Will they take to the new techniques in applying psychology? How will she react to the letter? The gents give her privacy while she reads.
