Lum and Abner – A Reward For Honesty. 420205

A vintage advertisement for the radio show "Lum and Abner." It features black and white illustrations of two characters, each with distinct facial expressions. The text encourages listeners to "Listen and Laugh" and indicates the show airs "4 DAYS—EACH WEEK." The advertisement mentions sponsorship by Alka-Seltzer and One-A-Day Vitamin Tablets. It includes the station name "WAGA" and lists the broadcast times as "8:15 EWT-P.M.-7:15 CWT."

Grandpappy Spears is in the library to study up on playing the mandolin. Does he even have one? Abner is doubtful over the new venture. The discussion comes round to the new stranger in town, Diogenes Smith.

Lum enters with news that a reward has been offered to the honest man that Diogenes is in search of. Diogenes himself enters to announce that it’s a “Wonderful World” and share a little about his quest. Learn about the reward, and the methods the eccentric man has in store.

Five secret deputies will be appointed to be the watch dogs for Diogenes. Who will win the $10k reward? Kindness and cooperation soon become the word of the day.
