Mother Potter's Chili Bowl

Many citizens of our great land may have missed the opportunity of dining at this establishment. However, according to the Lum and Abner radio show, this was a restaurant in Fort Smith, Arkansas, during the 1940's (Whether it was real or fictitious we have not been able to determine.) We suspect, however, that it was somewhat of a greasy spoon. It was the place where Lum was sent by Diogenes Smith, con man and counterfeiter, to deliver some "pamphlets" to a confederate of his, Lum being the unwitting delivery boy for the package.
