I went to school with his grandson, his family used to make some pretty good cane pepper jelly.

I was born in 1949 so I was too young but I recall seeing it in my grandparent's medicine cabinet. Medicine cabinets are gone also.

My wife’s great grandfather. An interesting personality to say the least.

Huge scam.

Huge part of Louisiana history.

Dudley LeBlanc was quite the huckster and snake oil salesmen. He was really good at shmoozing, marketing, and public speaking. Probably the only reason he didn’t make a run for governor was due to control the Long’s had on state politics.

Yes, this podcast had a great episode about it. (You should listen to all the episodes, BTW.)

I saved that link to listen to next time I’m on the road. Thanks!

ETA-Why would anyone downvote that?

Why they are not installed anymore? I don't have any in my house. Bet anyone that is 30 or younger do not know why they had a slit in the back of them.

With slots in them where used safety razor blades could be inserted and then dropped between the studs in the wall.
