Cool about the chicks!

How cheap is the barbwire!!!!

Interesting that they were sold by Montgomery Wards.

How interesting. And look down below the chick to the left, they are selling comb foundation for honeybees. Interesting. Those are still two most important parts of some thing that we eat, things we bake and cook with, eggs and honey for sweetening. Wow, back then honey and eggs were such staples too, smiling that big smile. Where on earth did you get this from? I love this old time stuff, to see what was going on in the lives of the old timers, cooool!! Have a most wonderful day, CynthiaM.

Fascinating. That is right when my grandmother's family would have been getting Buff Orps every year for butchering.

Looks like the wire is sold per spool and the spools are measured by weight. At least I can't see anything about price per foot.

How neat!

Fowler - it says "80 rod spool (1320 feet)" One rod=16.5 feet.

Doh! You're right. I was looking down below. The writing is very small on my screen. The sun was in my eyes. It wasn't me, it was the one armed man!

ha ha ha ha ha
