Lum and Abner

Broadcast History: 26 April 1931 to 7 May 1954
Theme Tune: Eleanor, by Jessie L Deppen. Evalena, by Sybil Chism Bock. Down on the Old Part Line, by Ralph and Elsie Mae Emerson

This comedy, that spanned over 23 years on the air, was centered around Lum Edwards and Abner Peabody, played by Chester Lauck and Norris "Tuffy" Goff, co-owners of the Jot'em Down Store in Pine Ridge, Arkansas. It was a "hillbilly" show and Pine Ridge was was based on the real life little town Waters, Arkansas. The Jot'em Down Store was based on a typical general store that was actually owned by a real life Dick Huddleston in Waters, Arkansas and Goff's father actually owned a wholesale grocery business in the larger town of Mena, which supplied products to the Huddleston store.
