I missed that on the original card. I’m still laughing about the house cats. Black cat was best price, coloured cats way lower. A Fitch/polecat = a ferret I’m guessing. I think we used to have wild ones here but I’m not positive. I wish I would have asked my grandpa more about trapping but I was to young when he passed He used to run a tannery back in 30s to the 50s. I spent a week reading through all his books about sales. Buffalo coats were sold for $9. Sold more harness than you could imagine. Paper work from going to the mayo clinic in the 30s. He ordered more stuff from the USA to Canada than I have in my life. Ordered bees from a company in California. Every box I open is a treasure. Would have been great to get the stories on a lot of his papers he saved. I don’t have many trapping pictures of him but this is my favorite. My mom figures it’s in the 40s sometime
