Lum and Abner – Special Routine For Alka Seltzer. 410819

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.

In the Jot ‘Em Down store, we find Lum and Abner answering a phone call to take an order for Sister Simpson. They seem to be out of Alka Seltzer, and Abner tells how popular it is with folks around in town. What do they do with it all anyway?

As Lum and Abner turn to playing checkers, the gents talk about radio advertisements that the product has. It’s no wonder that it’s always selling so well. Lum reads Abner a letter from a distant relative to talk about the happenings, and the intermixed shopping list in the margins. The orders and phone calls just never seem to stop for our heroes. They really ought to stock up more.
