Over the weekend, we joined our friends at Precision Ocular Network to dedicate the Dr. Lawrence B. Holt Lobby and Museum. Thanks to the generous donation of John W. Googe, made in honor of his friend Dr. Holt, this beautiful space is now a reality. We are honored to have played a part in bringing the museum to life.

Michelle enjoyed representing Reuben Rink at The Resource's annual golf tournament last week! She spent the day connecting with great people on the course while supporting a meaningful cause. Clothing donations for Reading Connections' Ready for Work Closet earned participants extra mulligans throughout the event. She may or may not have been especially grateful for those extra chances after a few less-than-perfect shots.

Think about the brands you trust most. What makes them impossible to ignore? The difference isn't budget. It isn't tactics. It's a thing most businesses don’t pay as much attention to.

Would you have believed it? The Bull Durham brand was so iconic that rumors of their ads reaching the Pyramids spread on their own. Proof that the best advertising makes people want to talk about you.

Happy April Fool's Day!

TRUE or FALSE- there was a Bull Durham advertisement on the Great Pyramid of Giza?

“Mark Twain, with calculated understatement, averred that the most conspicuous thing about the Egyptian Pyramids was the Durham Bull.” – Dr. Archibald Henderson

It was reported that the famous Reuben Rink (artist name of Körner's Folly builder Jule Körner) painted Bull Durham advertisements across the United States, into Mexico and Canada, and even across the Atlantic. Some reporters stated that designs could be found on the Rock of Gibraltar, Mt. Kilamanjaro, and the Pyramids of Giza!

The rumor began in the 1890s with reporters writing about Jule Gilmer Körner’s many talents explaining, “He has also painted the sign of Mr. Blackwell’s famous to***co all over the world – on the pyramids of Egypt, and numerous other places where it would encounter the wondering gaze of curious tourists.”

This sealed the rumor, even fooling his family!

In a letter to her father while traveling in Rome in 1912, Doré Körner expressed her joy at having found something like her father’s decorative designs in the Vatican. However, she expressed some disappointment, “So, if I did not see the “Bull Durham Smoking Tobacco” sign on the pyramids that I somehow expected to see, I felt that I had found something which gave me a really good opportunity to toss you a flower.”

Our research team has rated this rumor FALSE, but we had fun thinking about it! Happy April Fool's Day from Körner's Folly, home to one of Kernersville's favorite pranksters!
