Foree Hood and the brief saga of Sal-Lac

By JIM

Early 1926 found the American economy red hot and roaring; the Columbia Town Board enjoying new digs on the second floor of the Paull Drug Co.; and Adair native Foree Hood making an announcement.

An article, several column-inches in length and tucked away under an innocuous headline, graced the back page of the January 19 edition, stated that for a year or thereabout, Mr. Foree had been "experimenting with a new paint product of his own discovery and invention, for barns and other outbuildings." He had taken a sample of same to an unnamed chemist, who, according to The News, proclaimed the product to have the same attractiveness in appearance as paint, and that he would be safe "in guaranteeing it to endure through a satisfactory number of years."

To this, Mr. Hood added his own experience, saying, "This paint has been in service on my farm through all the seasons of the year and shows no signs of deterioration, and owing to its low cost and the crying need of such an attractive preservation for this class of buildings, it is my intention to arrange my affairs to commercialize the idea, having now several orders for spring delivery."
