According to the Ol' Sage, the legend began with the Indians. The story goes that even back then, there were a few dishonest Indians. On one occasion, an Indian stole a feather from a friend. When the thief was challenged, he replied..."I don't see anyone's name on the quill!". Later in the day the dishonest indian fell as he walked along a trail (later known as The Lincoln Trail)....and he instantly began blabbering the truth. It was then the local tribe realized the amazing power of the Lincoln Dust.. Those who touch the dust are forced to tell the truth.
In later years, the Ol' Sage recalls walking the Lincoln Trail with Abe. He noticed that Abe was constantly kicking-up dust on himself and others walking with him. In Lincoln's later years, according to the Ol' Sage, the quite justified nickname for Abe became popular......"Honest Abe".
So, the Ol' Sage knew a secret that he has just recently revealed. His plan for a business is based upon the unique quality of the local heartland dust found along the Lincoln Trail. He plans to bag the dust and sell it to the Heartland folks. Then, when a politician comes to town to "sell his wares"....the people will gently "dust him", sit back and hear the real story. There are still a few bugs to work out.....like the huge clouds of dust that will rise over the town just as the politician begins speaking. Or, the potential of a mud slide if it's raining.
We, in The Heartland, believe in The Ol' Sage and think he's onto an idea that can't miss. So, we strongly urge your support.
