Episode 0004

The following text is from a 1969 CTW press release, describing the first week of episodes.

"Mr. Hooper decides to close his store for the day because of noise coming from the construction site, but Gordon, Susan and Bpb tell him they'll take over for him. He agrees, takes the day off, and his three friends set out to run the candy store. After agreeing to take turns, Gordon goes first and has a sale featuring everything starting with the letter W. Bob takes over next and holds a sale of everything starting with the letter E. Susan decides to have a special sale of all the items starting with the letter S. The three manage to turn in the best day of the year for Mr. Hooper in sales -- 37 cents."
