Gailey Underwood Ad Sparks Local Notice in 1960 Albuquerque Journal
In February 1960 a full page advertorial by Gailey B. Underwood appeared as THIS WE BELIEVE, criticizing unrest and social issues in the Western World. The writer cites other Albuquerque realtors and mocks Underwood’s stance, noting his potential decline as a Realtor of the Year. A Jackson real estate board seeks a new Miss Mississippi state song, lampooning the current words and melody. The piece ends with a personal anecdote about the author forcing his daughter to practice a piano rendition of Way Down South In Mississippi.
