0:00   Voice says: “Roll 16, scene 57, take 1, sound 49” Narrator (possibly Ben Gradus) asks questions of Mrs. Eddie Jacobson. Before they went overseas, Eddie Jacobson and Harry S. Truman made a pact to go into business together if they made it back from the war. Harry had always been a farmboy and he wanted to go into business. They never signed an agreement, a handshake was always good enough. This segment was probably used in preparation of episode 9.
