THE CORN IS CREEN—Indianapolis may not have grass grow-
ing in its streets, but the corn is green on the sidewalk—at least
one lone stalk pushing up through n crack in the concrete la. Gas
station attendant Joe Ticen doesn't know how it happened to spring
up there, but he faithfully cares for the plant in hopes of a
"bumper crop” latgr in the season.
Assembly Line Methods Are
Ignored in Producing Whips
MOUNDS VILLE. W. Va.. 8ept.
ill—In the frowning shadows of
the state penitentiary there's a
busy little plant where whips are
forever being cracked.
For It h at this plant that 90
jier cent of all animal whips are
made- products ranging from the
85-foot lash especially styled In
the early 1920's for Douglas Fair-
banks’ use in the “Mark of Zor-
ro" to the. riding crops toted by
the horsey set.
The "whip factory” is what
they've labelled the plant but for
all official intents and purposes
It's the J. C. Bardall company.
Here, T. L. Rogerson and his 45
employes—eschewing moder n as-
sembly line methods—braid and
fashion by hand the leather “per-
suaders."
Admiral Richard F. Byrd used
specially made dog whips on his
first trip to the North Pole and
the two succeeding expeditions to
the south pole. Roy Rogers, n top
celluloid cowboy, uses Bnrdall
whips in his flickers.
Most of the leather ropes used
in teaching dogs for military serv-
ice during World War II were also
turned out here. The greater por-
tion were airmailed to overseas
K-9 training centers.
Although it supplies the globe,
the plant’s business is concen-
trated principally In the west.
Ranchers—both dude and orth-
odox-beat a steady path to the
whip factory's door bringing
orders for singular designs.
On of the more recent specials
was a 35-foot rodeo whip for a
Wyoming rancher that took al-
most a dav to make. Four hours
was required for the braiding Job
alone. In 1939, a 65-foot whip was
fashioned for the Rlngling Broth-
ers, Bamum and Bailey circus'
ring-master
The plant maintains its own
tannery using grease, oil and soap
to make the leather going into Its
products soft and pliable.
Every worker In the factory—
some with as much as 25 years'
service—is a specialist in his field.
That includes the cutters, braiders,
sewers and button makers.
"String” cutting In which a
razor-sharp knife is used Is the,
mast intricate part of the process
because of the uniform thickness
in which strips must be cut from
the tapped hides.
The plant also produces nose
bands, lariats, dog leashes, canes,
riding quirts, lanyards, blackjacks
and policemen's billies.
In business nearly three-quar-
ters of a century, the Bardall en-
terprise operated Inside the state
penitentiary until 1935, when con-
gress passed the Hawes-Cooper
law forbidding the operation of
private industry Inside penal In-
stitutions.
