One of my blogs is dedicated to annotating a novel based upon events which occurred in my hometown of Dothan. As I looked over the blog, I noticed this advertisement I had used from the March 26, 1903 ELBA CLIPPER. I thought,"What's an Avery plow doing being sold in 1903? I thought the Yankees burned out Leach & Avery in Tuscaloosa back in 1865." Well come to find out that Dr. Leach's partner, Tuscaloosan D.H. Avery, was a nephew of the great industrialist B.F. Avery and had been involved in all the events connected to formation of this nationwide company and after helping establish AVERY PLOW in Louisville, Kentucky, came to Tuscaloosa and became partners with Dr. Leach.
