This 1957 edition of "TWO FOR THE MONEY" was "sustaining"- that is, no sponsors could be found to buy ad time before the show's premiere [even though it followed the #1 series on Saturday nights, "GUNSMOKE", at 10:30pm(et)]- so the network scheduled promos and/or PSA's in place of commercials {at 7:52, "G.E. THEATER" and "(WESTINGHOUSE) STUDIO ONE" are "plugged"}.
1. hmm...his fan club coould have been called the original Sam's Club.
