Paul Harvey - A Detour of Fate - the Rest of the Story

[@Dld1985]

Paul Harvey is a American treasure. No one these days comes close to what he did as a story teller and prognosticator. Absolutely incredible.

[@BradDison]

I agree completely. :)

Hello from south Louisiana!

[@BradDison]

Hello, south Louisiana! How far south are we talking? Houma, Thibodaux, Slidell, New Orleans?

[@hippy8213]

Thank You 😊

[@BradDison]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@bipolarvortex]

Please don’t stop putting these gems online, Brad. We long to hear the rest of the story. Good day!

[@BradDison]

Thank you very much. I'll continued as long as I'm allowed. :)

[@xlerb2286]

It's a frosty day here in North Dakota too ;)

[@BradDison]

Hahaha. Frosty days are great. We don't get them in Louisiana as often as you do up there. :)

[@ohmike813]

Thanks again for a bit of history and a few moments of upbeat entertainment. Mike

[@BradDison]

Thank you for listening, Mike. I'm glad you enjoyed it. We need more upbeat and positive stories in our lives these days. :)

[@ohmike813]

@@BradDison yeah,we sure do. There are some wonderful people in the world, but the nasty one's get the press.

[@BradDison]

@@ohmike813 You're absolutely right about that. It's sad the amount of "press" the bad ones get. :)

It's nice to know the big businesses were tiny once, too.

[@BradDison]

That was my thought exactly on this one. Thank you for listening. :)

[@HaveFunLetsTravel]

Great story. Glad they listened and joined forces.

[@BradDison]

No kidding. I read some of the name brands that are owned by that company and realized that I use the majority of them. hahaha.

Harley Proctor, son of James Gamble, is one of my heroes in the business world!

[@BradDison]

I need to learn more about him. I hope you enjoyed this one. :)

[@mistergrandpasbakery9941]

@@BradDison indeed I did. Harley Proctor is the one that came up with the name Ivory during a church service. I think Paul Harvey did an episode on that. He was also friends with Norman Vincent Peale's dad. That friendship is documented in Peale's book This Incredible Century. There's also some fodder for future videos.

[@warrenroy5376]

Very good. I find it amazing how such a small company grew so big!

[@BradDison]

No kidding. I was too. ...and all from brothers-in-law selling tallow products. It amazes me. :)

[@brianhaselden9186]

Soon's he said "flatboats" and the Ohio, I had an idea who this was about. Great story! Keep em coming!

[@BradDison]

Thank you very much. I've got lots more coming up.. :)

[@cotton-Dave]

Thanks for a great story, Brad. Isn't this the very thing that made the United States the greatest country in the world? We opened our arms (and later used them) to anyone who had a desire to better themselves. And in the process we benefited immensely! As a side note here, wouldn't we (the world) have benefited SO much more had we opened those arms a little wider during the Second World War?

[@BradDison]

Thank you very much for listening. You're probably right. :)

[@garyv2196]

And most of the ingredients come from china.

[@BradDison]

You're probably right. :)
