Lum and Abner – Abner Buys Mr Dilbeck. 410529

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.

Audio is a bit scratchy. To get a boost in starting the store, Lum and Abner have made Cedric a partner. Squire enters with a dressmaking dummy he has for sale. It reminds Abner of a man named Mr. Dillbeck. Needless to say, there’s some sweet talking, and wheeling and dealing, and Abner ends up with Mr. Dillbeck. Lum enters, and isn’t thrilled with Abner’s new dummy, but when Abner leaves Lum talks business with Cedric, and the store is off to a shaky start.
