Here are the recollections of an avid listener named Robert Just.
Laura Limited was sponsored by Leaver Brothers, the Lux
people. They had a plant here in Toronto. It was a 15-minute soap,
which was on the air for eleven years, from 1946 to the summer of
1957. It was the story of a lady who owned and operated a flower
shop in Montreal, Laura Scott Ashley. Her husband David had been
murdered. The daughter, Terry, operated the store along with her
mother. Laura also had a son named Brian, but he didnt
figure too much in the plot.
Heres how the program would start. In some episodes, you
could hear the phone ringing. Laura would answer the phone:
Good morning. Laura Limited.
Then Henry Ramer, the announcer, would say: Leaver Brothers
presents Laura Limited, the story of Laura Scott Ashley and her
daughter, Terry - the story of a woman who lives her life by the
dictates of her heart. Then hed give the title of
that days story. Unfortunately, I dont remember who
played Laura, Terry, or Lauras Uncle George and Aunt Agnes.
