'Foots' Clements, Master of the Soft-Drink Sell.
As a farm boy in
Alabama, W.W. Clements was trained by his father to
introduce himself by saying, "I'm Woodrow Wilson Clements, and I am the
future President of the United States of America." Young Clements' pals,
however, were more impressed by his size-11½ feet than his political prospects
and chose to call him Slew-foot, a nickname later shortened to just plain Foots. It was a handle that its
unpretentious owner would hang on to for life.
