Lum And Abner - Horlick Agrees To Distribute Flashlights - Feb 4, 1935 - Sitcom

Published: Nov. 23, 2019, 9:07 p.m.

Extensive introduction to the series and the show... runs about 3:30 sec followed by the 15 minute episode where Lum 'n Abner try to get the show's sponsor (Horlick Malted Milk) to sell a new invention (1935) a pocket flashlight. They need to raise money to re-open the Jot 'em Down Store. Show was on the air for 22 years, generally 4 to 5 days a week with 15 min to 30 min shows... remarkable achievement for anything in mass media in 1935 and probably unheard of today! More Lum 'n Abner found in the playlist "Lum 'n Abner." Thank you for listening.
