Not Sara Berner?

Can anyone identify for me the actor in 12/19/43 episode who plays a clerk in the department store not at the perfume counter, but at the cold cream counter ("can I smear somethin' on ya?")?

I recognize the voice from the Fred Allen episode of 4/25/48, where she played a local Brooklynite who thinks Fred gets fresh with her when asking for directions to Ebbets Field.

I loved her performance on that show so much that I made a cellphone ringtone of her saying "what's eatin' ya, jerk?"

I don't thinks it's Sara Berner, who does various Brooklyn accents. Could it be Minerva Pious? I haven't listened to much Allen yet, so I'm a novice in this area.

According to "39 Forever, Volume II," it is indeed Minerva Pious at the cold cream counter.

Thanks! I have only heard Mrs Nussbaum a couple of times so wasn't sure.
