Signed on the cover. 1" closed tear at the hinge top Billy Carter was a farmer and businessman who rose to national prominence when his older brother, Jimmy, was elected president of the United States in 1976. Carter delighted in being a bit of a bumpkin and a Southern redneck beer drinker. He was widely quoted as saying, "Yes, sir. I'm a real Southern boy. I got a red neck, white socks, and Blue Ribbon beer." Billy Carter's legacy would have to be the service station in Plains he opened in 1972 that became a tourist destination during his older brother's 1976 presidential campaign. At its peak the service station/hub/hangout sold 2,000 cases of beer each month along with more than 40,000 gallons of gas. In 2009, with help from the University of Georgia, the station became the Billy Carter Service Station Museum, filled with Billy's personal memorabilia and all things related to Billy Beer..
