House cats.

$1 for a black.
$.40 for colored.

That's funny!!! Can you imagine if that were true now?


How many lies will people believe before they realize their own idiocy?

Dont buy fur as a hedge.against inflation,only as a hedge against cold arctic weather.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

coyotes were known as brush wolves back then, my guess is wolves means coyotes.

Don't quote my math (not my striong suit) and I just Googled "What is a 1918 dollar worth today after inflation....answer is take 1918 x 21.

Again, my math skills...ugh...but by my decrepid calculations, a 1918 mink should be worth $290 today. (Have $290 worth of buying power)
a $22 coyote would be $462.00
