Lum and Abner – An 1894 Telegram from Grover Cleveland. 470109

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.

Lum is taking a break from his duties as chef of Lumburgers in the Meadowlark restaurant. He talks with Doc Ben Withers about his busy life. He shares some of his telegrams from around the country with doc. Will it be as impressive as doc’s telegram from president Grover Cleveland? Not only are the telegrams from famous restaurants, but Lum may be on the verge of revolutionizing America’s eating habits.

Abner enters, but gets a little confused over the coconuts in the grove at the Coconut Grove.
Will Abner be impressed with the telegram from Grover Cleveland that Doc still tries to tell about, but hasn’t quite gotten his message out? More confusion reigns for Abner when a fellow in the hat business wants Lum’s recipe for use in the Brown Derby.

Getting his big chance to brag, Doc recounts in detail how and why he recieved his telegram. He even produces it to show off. This won’t be a let down, will it?
