Clifford Cave, The BULL’S EYE 'Editor and Qenera!Manaqer Wl LL ROGERS An Unknown Historical Fact D i n you know that (icorge Washington, The adopted Father of our Country, just he lore he got on the Ferry k to cross the Delaware lor the Photo graphing of that now'fa mous Picture, I)id noli know, that he smoked two sacks of ‘Bull’ Durham while he was waiting for the Ferrv? (things were just as late in his W ar, as they were in our last one). Now I have never ~ heard of this‘Bull’ Durham episode before, neither have I ever heard it denied. So it it’s never cither been aftirm- TT or denied, there is no rea son to disbelieve that it’s not true. ‘Bulk Durham 1 originated in Virginia, and . W ashington lived in \ ir- ginia, and he was a great man to patronize home in dustries. And as W ashing ton was the he; t num of his day, and Durham the best tobacco of its da\ , there is no plausible reason to doubt that these two most excel lent Institutions dfdn’t read ily recognize the good in each other and get together. / SIXTY FIVl YEARS AGO!
