"Lum & Abner" was a popular American network radio comedy program that aired from 1931 to 1954. Created by Chester Lauck and Norris Goff, who also played the lead characters, the show was set in the fictional community of Pine Ridge, Arkansas. Lauck and Goff portrayed Lum Edwards and Abner Peabody, respectively, the owners of the Jot 'Em Down Store, the only general store in Pine Ridge.The humor of "Lum & Abner" was characterized by its gentle, character-driven wit, often involving the various quirky residents of Pine Ridge and the everyday situations they encountered. The show frequently used a serialized format, with storylines stretching over several episodes. This style of storytelling allowed listeners to become deeply engaged with the characters and the ongoing narratives.A notable feature of "Lum & Abner" was its portrayal of rural American life during the Great Depression and World War II. The characters, while humorous, were treated with respect and affection, avoiding the stereotypes often associated with rural settings in media. The show was a comforting presence for many listeners during challenging times, offering a blend of humor, warmth, and a sense of community.The legacy of "Lum & Abner" continues to be celebrated for its contribution to the golden age of radio, its innovative storytelling, and its affectionate depiction of small-town life. The show's influence can be seen in later television and radio programs that similarly focus on community and character-driven humor.

(01:51):
Well, the Pine Ray Oil Companyis no more. Lumon Abner and Grandpappy
Spears hold their holdings to the SouthwestOil Company for three thousand dollars cash and
a royalty of ten cents per barrowon all the oil produced on the property.
Well after the deal was completed,they found that they had been the
victims of another of squire skimped schemes, as the Squire himself is the president
(02:15):
of the Southwest Oil Company and themister Carter with whom they were dealing was
only one of his henchmen. Well, as we looked in on Pine Ridge
today, Squire's skimp has already takenfull charge of the oil business. And
so we find lumb and Abner overat Lum's house explaining the transaction to their
old friend Dick Huddleston. Listen,no, Hono Bee, was any way
(02:38):
for you to making trade backs.You've already delivered the deed to him.
Yeah, but we give him thedeed for we found out Squire was the
president of the company. Yeah,we talked to Southwest Oil Company was an
outfit and tass the Oklahoma. Youknow that telegram we got say first not
to sell our property. Tell arepresent gotcha that were from Taulsi Okay.
If Hiller Carters had come down hereand made the day the uh he's from
(03:00):
tass Hill. Yeah it fire justhired him to come out here and make
the deal because you know we wouldn'tsell it to him. Yeah. Well,
I wouldn't worry about it. Fella, doesn't make any difference who owns
it. You got the three thousanddollars that he paid in cash, and
if you get your ten cents ofbarrel of rolls it was, you'll make
just as much out of it thisway you would if you told it to
anybody else. Yeah, if weget the royalty. Yeah, that's what
(03:23):
I'm here. That was squire's temperhand of me. I wouldn't trust that
fella. No, Father and Ican hold a fine man. We will
just have to set over everybody allwell, and every time at a haul
of barrel, all off the place. Just put it down on the little
book. Yeah, we can keepup with it that a way, all
right. Well, the thing todo is just have an auditor going there
once a morth. Yeah, Icould do that. Huh, have a
hood going there once a month anorder to what that? What that ain't
(03:49):
you never wrote on a train avenue. You don't mean to say it's gonna
run a train in there once amonth, Oh avenue A auditor only way
he's gonna run him in there.Yeah, I thought, goes in there
and order to books once a month'sabnue. Yeah, I felt I goes
in there and order to book oncea month tame. Huh. Yeah,
see that they're keeping things right.Yeah, see that they're keeping things right.
Tell'em they order do this,and they order do that, or
(04:09):
auditor. That's a good idea.I'm glad I thought of that. That's
a heap better than having to setover and count every barrel at Behold,
now I've been wondering, Now Icould vacate myself and set over there and
count them barrows at the same time. Well, now, if you just
wanted to lay around rest while,you could get yourself a hammock and just
sort of lay over and rest andcount barrel too often. Yeah, and
(04:30):
I'd about get to count them barrelsand count myself right off to sleep,
like counting sheep and exquire there fouror five hundred barrels slip by me for
an order. Yeah, well,of course you could hire somebody to keep
you away. No, oh me, if I was gonna hire somebody to
keep me awake, might as wellhave them count to barrow. Why,
sure, that's the thing to do. I just let them count to barrow.
(04:51):
N you can lay down in thehammock and sleep all day, vacate
yourself. Yeah, and be afine vacation. It'd be a lot of
fun. Lay out in the hammockall day by oil, well, right
here in the dead of winter,and try to sleep. Well, of
course, everybody to their own notion. I know I wouldn't enjoy it,
But you want to do it,well, it ain't no business smart,
(05:13):
but I'll tell you now alarm.I'd be awful careful about who you get
the count in Barron first thing.And oh he about county shelf office sleep
too, for goodness, shape ofworse. You could hire somebody to keep
him away, but uh, ifyou start to ask, it just ain't
no shopping place. He'd have toget somebody to keep him away. Saying
that, well, avenue, don'tworry about it. Didn't just said we
(05:34):
wouldn't have to count ourselves. We'llget a get a what you call him?

and san Lizabeth of money order andget her and Burl back home. And
man, that totaled three thirty dollarsthree thout. Wait a minute, let
(12:13):
me look at that. According tothat we old ten dollars feet john double.
They must be d mistake about it. Well, so far, it
looks like everybody in pine Ridge isbenefitted by the discovery of that oil.
Well except the members of the pineRidge Oil Company. Mister and missus Baldwin.
I've spent the evening visiting friends.They're on their way home. Now,
(12:33):
let's listen to them as they walkalong talking. Did you have a
nice time? Tom? Fine?The fishes are locked in front, I
says, you bet, Missus spacially. Oh, Burt's kind of a boy.
We're always talking about himself. Uhhuh. Seems to me you were
doing a bit of that yourself tonight, O me. I didn't have a
chance. Every time I started,Burt interrupted me. I think Breake's very
(12:54):
interesting, much mores than MoCCA FisherBert interesting. That's funny. Well,
I have a nice time anyway.Well, I didn't say I didn't have
a nice time. I just saidthat I get kind of tired listening to
birds. You know, Missus Fisheris certainly a real hostess. Wasn't that
harlicks delicious? The best molted milkI've ever tasted. You're not going to
get marka credit for that, areyou? Ohfoy not? She mixed up
that glass of Harlcks didn't she Harlicksis always delicious no matter who mix is
(13:16):
it. I could do everything aswell. It's Master Fisher, so that's
it. You women certainly are ajealous lot nonsense, But I don't want
to see Martha Fisher get credit forsomething that the makers of Harlocks. A
response befoar. I'm willing to beconvinced, but you'll have to prove it
to me, though. I'll tellyou what you do. Have a big
glass of Harlocks waiting for me whenI get home from the office tomorrow,
and then i'll let you know ifit's as good as that that we had
(13:37):
at Fishers tonight. Unless get abig package your Harlocks and we'll always have
it on hand to serve to folksthat we're entertaining. You know, everybody
likes Harlicks and that's a mighty finelate evening drink because it won't keep you
awake later as so many beverages do. And there's a mighty good point,
folks, One reason why Harlcks issuch a wonderful drink to serve in the
evening. Far from keeping you awakelater, Horlicks before going to bed relaxes
(14:01):
and soothes helps you to fall asleepeasily and quickly. And Harlicks is such
a delicious, refreshing drink. AsTom Baldwin said, everybody loves Horlick's malted
milk. You can get Horlicks,you know, in either natural or chocolate
flavor. This is Carton Bricker speakingfor Lumbon Abner and Horlicks, who bid
you all good night and good health

They must be d mistake about it. Well, so far, it
looks like everybody in pine Ridge isbenefitted by the discovery of that oil.
Well except the members of the pineRidge Oil Company. Mister and missus Baldwin.
I've spent the evening visiting friends.They're on their way home. Now,
(12:33):
let's listen to them as they walkalong talking. Did you have a
nice time? Tom? Fine?The fishes are locked in front, I
says, you bet, Missus spacially. Oh, Burt's kind of a boy.
We're always talking about himself. Uhhuh. Seems to me you were
doing a bit of that yourself tonight, O me. I didn't have a
chance. Every time I started,Burt interrupted me. I think Breake's very
(12:54):
interesting, much mores than MoCCA FisherBert interesting. That's funny. Well,
I have a nice time anyway.Well, I didn't say I didn't have
a nice time. I just saidthat I get kind of tired listening to
birds. You know, Missus Fisheris certainly a real hostess. Wasn't that
harlicks delicious? The best molted milkI've ever tasted. You're not going to
get marka credit for that, areyou? Ohfoy not? She mixed up
that glass of Harlcks didn't she Harlicksis always delicious no matter who mix is
(13:16):
it. I could do everything aswell. It's Master Fisher, so that's
it. You women certainly are ajealous lot nonsense, But I don't want
to see Martha Fisher get credit forsomething that the makers of Harlocks. A
response befoar. I'm willing to beconvinced, but you'll have to prove it
to me, though. I'll tellyou what you do. Have a big
glass of Harlocks waiting for me whenI get home from the office tomorrow,
and then i'll let you know ifit's as good as that that we had
(13:37):
at Fishers tonight. Unless get abig package your Harlocks and we'll always have
it on hand to serve to folksthat we're entertaining. You know, everybody
likes Harlicks and that's a mighty finelate evening drink because it won't keep you
awake later as so many beverages do. And there's a mighty good point,
folks, One reason why Harlcks issuch a wonderful drink to serve in the
evening. Far from keeping you awakelater, Horlicks before going to bed relaxes
(14:01):
and soothes helps you to fall asleepeasily and quickly. And Harlicks is such
a delicious, refreshing drink. AsTom Baldwin said, everybody loves Horlick's malted
milk. You can get Horlicks,you know, in either natural or chocolate
flavor. This is Carton Bricker speakingfor Lumbon Abner and Horlicks, who bid
you all good night and good health
