Cedric Fire Chief Pine Ridge Ark. Lum and Abner Radio Show RPPC Postcard. This vintage real photo postcard (RPPC) features the character Cedric, the bumbling but lovable Fire Chief from the legendary Lum and Abner radio program. The image depicts the character in full firefighting regalia, including a traditional fire helmet, long trench coat, and carrying an axe, a fire bucket, and a hose. The setting is Pine Ridge, Arkansas, the fictional home of the Jot 'em Down Store that became so famous the town of Waters, Arkansas, officially changed its name to Pine Ridge in 1936. Produced by Orcajo Photo Art of Dayton, Ohio, this sepia-toned photograph captures a piece of American broadcasting history. The sharp detail of the real photo printing technique highlights the textures of the uniform and the rustic wooden backdrop, making it a fantastic crossover collectible for fans of old-time radio, Arkansas history, and fire department memorabilia. The back features a classic DOPS stamp box, consistent with production during the peak popularity of the radio show in the late 1930s and early 1940s.
