Lum and Abner – Lum Orders Book On Salesmanship. 410929

Lum and Abner, going over the script.

As Lum and Abner try to think of ways to make the store more efficient, Lum wants to order a book on salesmanship. In the process, Abner gets confused at his figure of speech about Dick Huddleston stealing away customers while they slept. What the guys need is to build a better mouse trap, but Abner doesn’t understand that idea either.

Abner gets on a roll where he wants to trap customers with a bear trap, or an Indian snare. That’s the only thing big enough to trap a person.
