ADVERTISERS - TEX AND EDNA BOIL

"So come on down."

Tex and Edna Boil's Organ Emporium

It started as an organ emporium ("a free budgie with every organ") but expanded into lawn ornaments and sideshows. Edna talked and Tex played organ. Until, that is, Tex left Edna (who also happens to be Edith Prickley's sister). Edna soldiered on, expanding the emporium with Boil World. She also co-starred in Prickley Business with Edith.

Tex returned for two commercials in Andrea's cable special Andrea Martin...Together Again.
