A carnival pitchman makes exaggerated claims about historical figures and their accomplishments to draw a crowd, including stories about Benjamin Franklin's experiments with electricity and George Washington Carver's scientific discoveries with peanuts. The issue also features a segment on housewives' importance to the economy, emphasizing their role in smart shopping and consumer decisions that keep businesses competitive and prices low. Throughout, the comic warns against believing inflated claims and "big talk" without verification.
