Chain Letters Are Illegal

Dick Huddleston has some unfortunate news to share. It turns out that chain letters are against the law. This is true even when it comes to hog chain letters!

Lum and Abner was an American network radio comedy program created by Chester Lauck and Norris Goff that was produced from 1931 to 1954. Modeled on life in the small town of Waters, Arkansas, near where Lauck and Goff grew up, the show proved immensely popular. In 1936, Waters changed its name to "Pine Ridge" after the show's fictional town.
