Years ago while cutting up jackpots in the Clyde Beatty Cole Bros office wagon with Harry Hammond, Russell Bros came up.
Mr. Hammond said he enjoyed it working for the Webbs.
He said there was not much traffic back then as we have today.
And the indians on the show slept in teepee's.

Art Concello bought the show in 43

Kenny Dodd & I would visit with Art

in his train cars & office where he

would regale us with Russell tales

Pauline Webb's maiden name was Russell. Her sister Irene was on the show and some jokingly called the show Russell Sisters.

Irene was married to Bob O'Hara.

Maybe someone will look in an old Russell route book and see if Bob wasn't the patch.
