Lum and Abner – The New Bloodhound. 470414

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.

As Lum studies up on the manual for the tran ciever that had recently been sent, Abner takes care of the store. Ben Withers is on hand, and we’re reminded of his recent appointment as town constable.
The new job also means that Ben will be moving out of his place in the feed room. With goodbyes said, Ben takes off to the jail, where he’s expecting a new bloodhound.

Lum and Abner turn their attentions back to the tranciever, and wonder at the detailed instructions to set it up and operate it. It sounds like it’s going to take three hands to run this thing. What’s all that jargon, and all those initials stand for?

Ben comes back with news about more changes. Is there a problem down at the jail? What’s the snag with his new job?
