About this episode
Originally Aired: February 11, 1941 Fibber McGee & Molly #274, "Fibber the Watch Salesman," Fibber receives an unexpected package containing a leather case embossed with his name and the title "Special Representative of the Meaning Watch Corporation." Molly reveals she met the company president at a bridge party and recommended Fibber for the position, which comes with a $50 drawing account and 10% commission. Ever the dreamer, Fibber immediately calculates that selling one hundred watches at $100 apiece would earn him $1,000 a week, leading him to fantasize about moving into a hotel suite. Despite having no experience in sales and refusing to read the instructional pamphlet, Fibber confidently declares the watches will "sell themselves." Armed with his sample case and dressed up with a necktie for the occasion, Fibber sets out with Molly to make his first sales call at the Whistle Vista Friendly Credit Jewelers. Along the way, they encounter the Old Timer and little Teeny, who is planning Abraham Lincoln's birthday party. When they finally arrive at the jewelry store and meet the proprietor, Vero Savadier, Fibber launches into his pitch, eager to prove himself as a watch salesman.
