The pull-down sign on Haney's truck reads, "Haney's Small Fry Apparel Shop Featuring Dingwell's No Wilt Dickeys." He says he ran away from home to work for them as a salesman.
This is the second time in the series that the character of Sarah, the phone operator, appears. Merie Earle, who plays Sarah, was 78 years old when this episode originally aired. She came late to her acting career, making her very first appearance in front of a TV or movie camera in the Petticoat Junction (1963) series episode Is This My Daughter? (1967), which originally aired 9 September 1967, earlier in the same season as the original broadcast of this episode of A Kind Word for the President (1967). She would go on to make three more appearances in this series, all but one of those appearances as Sarah.
