Lum and Abner in a Publicity Photo. 5x6. In this black and white publicity photo, two men, Lum and Abner, are posing together in a studio. They are dressed in suits and ties, with Abner on the left wearing a hat and holding a cane, while Lum on the right has his hands in his pockets. They are smiling at the camera with a friendly and approachable demeanor, creating a sense of warmth and familiarity. The photo has a vintage feel, reflecting the era in which they were popular radio personalities.

Grandpap helps Abner pack orders to deliver later. Abner shares how Lum has been investigating the perfume business. Why does such a tiny bottle of perfume cost so much? Grandpap figures it must be getting scarce.

The topic switches to the absentminded nature of Doc Withers as Lum enters.

Grandpap leaves, and Lum shares that he’s having second thoughts on perfume. Abner gets confused about the key ingredient that comes from whales. Would it be cheaper if a person owned their own whale to get this ambergrease? Where would it be kept in Pine Ridge? Abner gets confused about Lum’s discussion of Alaska, Eskimoes, and igloos. Are whales good to eat? What would you have with them? Abner’s rant leads to Lum’s next business idea.
