The Long, Long Trailer Page #3

---

That's what I say, 1750.

Oh, let's get it, Nicky, please.

- What?

- I'll save, I promise.

I won't spend a cent

on anything again as long as I live.

Only I just want to have

this for our home.

Honey, we could do it, couldn't we?

We wouldn't have to pay any rent.

I'll cook all of our meals. Honest I will.

We won't have to go

to any restaurants or hotels.

Honey, there won't be any bellboys

to bother us, no tips.

Well, just think of the money that

we could save on our honeymoon alone.

Ten minutes later, I started saving it.

And $ 160 for state tax...

...and $ 73 for registration, license fee

and payment on the insurance.

That makes a grand total of $ 1932.22.

- And 22 cents?

- That's right.

Ever hauled a house trailer before?

- No, we've never...

- Well, if I were you...

...I'd have a professional

haul it to Colorado.

Oh, no. That's gonna be half the fun.

You're gonna haul it yourself, huh?

Maybe I'd better take a look at your car.

My car?

Better get a heavier car.

Be a big saving in the end.

Let's see. We'll allow you $400

for your old car.

And that plus 900 cash,

makes 1300 as down payment.

Okay?

Look, are you sure that this car

is heavy enough to pull a trailer?

Absolutely.

Of course, you have to have a hitch

welded to the bottom of your car.

A hitch, huh?

How much would that cost?

Oh, we don't do that here.

- You'll have to go to an expert.

- I see. Where am I gonna find an expert?

Excelsior Trailer Repair.

They're the best people in town...

We now had a new car, a new trailer...

...and mortgages of $ 7646.

We don't just weld the hitch to your car,

we bolt it on in three places:

The forward member,

the rear member, under your bumper.

Hey, Joe, here... Here it is.

Bring it over here.

You're getting the best hitch

on the market today.

This is the ball. It engages securely

to the socket in the slip dolly...

...which prevents a lot of...

- Just a minute. Slip dolly?

Oh, sure, sure. Come here. Here.

Here it is. Come over here.

Now, this is the B6 four-wheel model.

It's $ 170 extra plus tax, but it's worth

it. It takes the weight of the trailer...

Wait a minute.

Do I have to have one of these things?

Cripes! Why, you can't afford

to be without that.

It was a question of

who 'd give out first:

Me or the money.

Block and tackle, just in case.

- In case of what?

- Just in case.

That'll be fine, now.

The little lady said she wanted the car

dropped off at her house.

- That's right.

- Sometimes you don't know what to do...

...with these things.

Try to figure them out...

Oh, no. You drive.

- Who, me?

- Sure, sure. Move over.

Nothing to it.

Now, these are your trailer brakes.
