In this episode from the first season, Gildy and Leroy shop for a new bed for Marjorie.
Harold Peary created the Gildersleeve character on Fibber McGee and Molly, and was popular enough that the show was spun off, with Gildy moving to a new town to be the guardian for his niece and nephew.
The show had a long run of over a decade, with a change in lead actors in 1950 (which is another story). The funiture dealer is played by Sam Hearn as "Schlepperman", a character with a Jewish accent who appeared often on Jack Benny's show.
