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.
