No Binding. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Not a book but a 10-inch, 78 rpm vinyl (probably vinyl by this date, though this COULD be shellac) "single" rockabilly record, Mercury 6190, "very good" with some scuffing and numerous light scratches which cannot be felt. A vitamin elixir popular in dry counties due to its 12 percent alcohol content, Hadacol (from his HAppy DAys COmpany) was the brainchild of Louisiana State Senator Dudley J. LeBlanc, an energetic showman who promoted the product in the late 1940s with a touring "Hadacol Caravan" drawing crowds as large as 12,000 (admission, two Hadacol boxtops), largely in the South, to see performances by Roy Acuff, Hank Williams, Minnie Pearl, Lucille Ball, Bob Hope, Dorothy Lamour, Carmen Miranda -- even at one point Judy Garland, George Burns, and Gracie Allen. LeBlanc sold the operation for $8 million in 1951, but it quickly collapsed amidst allegations of financial chicanery (LeBlanc was supposedly spending more on advertising at that point than he was taking in) as well as a ruling from the Federal Trade Commission that LeBlanc's advertising claims were "false, misleading and deceptive." (Oh, but that weird Dr. Harvey Kellogg's insistence that his Corn Flakes would eliminate the evils of masturbation, sexual arousal and sexual intercourse among young people was just fine?) Nettles also wrote and performed "Hadacol Bounce," while The Treniers at one point offered "Hadacol (That's All)." This 78 rpm piece of marketing history now reduced from $17.
