I like Ike

Bauer’s Market and Garden Center Pledge shout out for today goes back to 1956. November 6th, President Dwight D. Eisenhower defeated Adlai Stevenson. Eisenhower had looked unbeatable, but in 1955 He suffered a massive Heart Attack. Stevenson gave ” IKE” a run for His money but came up short. He gave a very poignant and patriot concession speech in defeat. Eisenhower had been the commander of Allied forces in World War II, Stevenson had served in The US Navy in both WWI and WW II. After the Election, America went on to show some of the most prosperous years in History.
