Senator LeBlanc Says South
Has Great Industrial Future
Now Is the Time to Start Getting
Somewhere, Says HADACOL Owner
Lafayette, La. (Sp )- Senator
Dudley J. LeBlanc, colorful ownei
of HADACOL, wants the South to
sell its advantages to the nation
just as he is selling HADACOL
to the res* of the country
The Senator spoke to about
500,000 people on his recent half
million dollar good-will tour of
10 southern states His theme was
the fallacy of the South producing
raw products, shipping them
north for processing and then
paying freight to bring the fin-
ished product back home.
The Senator pulled his hand-
kerchief out of his pocket waving
It to crowds that ranged from
25.000 to 60,000. "This handker-
chief was made from cotton
(frown in the South," he said.
The cotton was shipped to
Massachusetts and made into this
finished product. Then we in the
South paid the freight on it back
home where we grew the cotton.
"That mill in Massachusetts
furnished employment to folks up
there and paid taxes that created
ichools ana improved their econ-
omy. Why couldn't those northern
folks move factories down here
and give employments to our
folks? I tell you, they would if
we sell them the wonderful ad-
vantages of the South just as we
r* selling HADACOL to the rest
Of the nation."
Senator LeBlanc is spending a
great deal of money on colored
•ound pictures of the HADACOL
Good will Show to display the
advantages of southern industry.
He plans to show these in thea-
ters. He is also preparing an
elaborate booklet to distribute
throughout the r
Senator Dudley J. LeBlanc
'1 feel that when a firm has
become as large as HADACOL
that it owes it to its people to do
more than sell just itself," said
Senator LeBlanc.
Senator LeBlanc presented
Mickey Rooney, Bums and Allen,
Carmen Mirandi, Connee Boswell,
Roy Acuff, Ernest Tubb, Minnie
Pearl, Sharkey and His Dixieland
Band, Frakson the Magician, and
Marie Germain LeBlanc.
HADACOL la now selling at th«
rate of more than $2,000,000 per
month and the Senator is plan-
ning to increase sales to $50,000,-
000 if he can obtain enough raw
materials.

New Use
For Old Windmills
1 drove past I.arson's farm last
week and saw him perched on top
of his 75-year-old windmill. "Still
planning on tearing it down?" I
shouted up to him.
"Not on your life," says Curly
as he climbs down. "I'm getting
myself a television set from Buzz
Ellis' and he says this w indmill is
going to come in mighty handy."
"You see," Curly went on, "I'm
gning to put my TV antenna right
on top of it. Since the windmill is
higher than the house. I'll get the
best reception around here — but
if it wasn't for Buzz and hi* ad-
vice, I'd have scrapped it."
From where I sit. Curly'a succesa
as a farmer and hi popularity in
town is due. in a large part, to hia
open-mindrdnev* and hia willing-
ness to liaten to people and their
opinions. He'll listen to Bu/z Kills
over a malted milk or he and I can
talk politics — each with a glass of
temperate beer. Yea. Curly'a aa
modern as television itself!

Just sharpen your pencil -
and there you are !
m
ACKOSS this broad html there are
thousands of people who have
been doing themselves a disfavor.
Seems they "just naturally assume"
a Buick is beyond their reach — and
so pass up the car they're really itch-
ing to own.
Now why "assume" anything as im-
portant to your happiness as a new
car ?
Why not see for yourself how de-
livered prices run —how close Buick
matches your own budget — how fre-
quently it is priced under some cars
you may he considering?
Then —if there is a particular car in
mind —sharpen up your pencil a little.
Is it a si\ —or an eight, like Buick?
If an eight, is it a valve-in-head eight ?
That adds a plus in efficiency, y ou
know, even without the extra edge
of Huick's Fireball power.
Will you ride on four sofi coil springs,
as in Buick—or on only two? \\ ill the
drive be through a sealed torque-tube
that keeps the rear wheel assembly
firmly aligned? It is in a Buick.
Do you get soft, low-pressure tires
as part of the price —or as extras?
Will you have bumper guards built
as part of the bumper, or a one-piece
cast metal grille that can be costly
to repair or replace?
D„
r
oes the price include ait i leaner;
oil filter: dual horns, windshield
wipers and sun visors; an automatic
dome light; self-linking luggage lid;
a single key for all locks?
And is there an automatic drive*, or
one in which gears still shift in
normal di iving?
^es, sharpen your pencil —and there
you will he, in a Unit k.
Whether it's a Sl'K I M , a Si IM.K or
a lordly R< m>\1 \s 11 k . y ou II be dr iv -
ing the big buy of its price class, and
getting a rich bonus of driving com-
fort, driving thrill and "fashion-first"
styling.
Bui you have to make the lust move.
) ou are tin- one who has to hud out.
How about starling now — with a call
on \our Buick dealer?
