Was everyone an expert on bugling those days

[@Efferheim]

Yes, other instruments were not yet invented, so there was only the bugle.

[@kingbee1500]

Like the altered openings on the radio episodes here-with commercial spot up front and show synopsis..and Looney Tunes opening art!!

[@heyoldman2003]

Sad one ... Poor gal 🙁

[@Efferheim]

Poor Mr Salazar.

[@JMorris216]

I thought the laughing lady was a heyna.

[@nativeroscoe64]

These Fatima commercials are getting cheesy now. Kind of funny.

[@fromthesidelines]

They just weren't selling as well as Chesterfield was. In fact, by the fall of 1952, Liggett & Myers started selling them (instead of Fatima) on "DRAGNET".

[@ArchernAce]

This is a very poignant episode.
