Lum and Abner – Chemicals to Mix Formula. 470729

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.

Abner tells grandpap how he and Lum got Cedric to invest his money in the store. Will this be their chance to sit back, and have Cedric do all the leg work in the store?

They still don’t know what their chemical formula will make. Will it be the beginning of a new factory in town? A revolutionary breakthrough to grow hair? Grandpap and Abner speculate on what it could be. Anything from a soap to a paint mixture.

Cedric pops in to tell he doesn’t plan to work in the store. Instead, the silent partner gives orders to Abner to wash the windows. Has he been listening to outside business advice? Lum makes it back, and has all the ingredients he needs to put together that formula. The gents are mystified at the big chemical names. Now it’s a matter of mixing it all up.
