Lot of 5 tokens belonging to Louisiana drug stores. Includes 3 are from Lafayette, LA, LeBlanc Laboratories, dated 1948, the other two are dated 1950. All have a profile of Louisiana State Senator, Dudley J. LeBlanc, on obverse, and on reverse states, “Good for 25 Cents on a Bottle of Hadacol Anywhere.” 2 of the tokens are from Collens’ Five Points Pharmacy, Inc., located in Monroe, Louisiana, and are “Good for one 5 Cent Root Beer.” Hadacol was a patent medicine marketed as a vitamin supplement. Its principal attraction, however, was that it contained 12 percent alcohol (listed on the tonic bottle’s label as a “preservative”), which made it quite popular in the dry counties of the southern United States. It was the product of four-term Louisiana State Senator Dudley J. LeBlanc, a Democrat from Erath in Vermilion Parish in southwestern Louisiana. He was not a medical doctor, nor a registered pharmacist, but had a strong talent for self-promotion. Time magazine once described him as “a stem-winding salesman who knows every razzle-dazzle switch in the pitchman’s trade”.
