Rare Hap Hazard advert

Hap Hazard

This is very likely the only ad around for a very short-lived show called Hap Hazard, a show I only heard about today when I found the advert.

According to the On the Air Encyclopedia, it was only a brief 2 and half month replacement for Fibber McGee and Molly in the Summer of 1941. Ransom Sherman (the star) would later go on and become a regular on the Fibber McGee and Molly show for a bit and Harlow Wilcox was the announcer and Billy Mills led the orchestra.

It was also sponsored by Johnson's Wax. Although I haven't been able to find any surviving episodes, I'd love to hear it sometime,
