. ^ / 1 Baseball-Broadcast Celebra- 

 tion of Illinois Farm Supply Co. at 

 Chicago on September 9. The cele- 

 bration was to honor managers, sales- 

 men and other employees who did out- 

 standing work in the three months 

 sales campaign from June 1 to August 

 31 for Blue Seal petroleum and feed 

 service. 



Mustaches and whiskers proved to 

 be badges of distinction, for not only 

 were these men peculiarly adorned, 

 but they were also outstanding win- 

 ners from their respective counties in 

 this unusual campaign. Farm patrons 

 all over Illinois joined in the celebra- 

 tion as broadcasts were made from 

 Station WLS Saturday evening, Sep- 

 tember 9th and from Station KMOX 

 St. Louis Tuesday evening, September 

 12th. The Chicago group raised the 

 longest and most unusual whiskers, re- 

 ports W. B. Peterson, but honorable 

 mention is also given to Herschel Hart 

 of Macoupin, Leslie Lipe, Earl Mclntyre
