Promoting My Garden of Odd Fur Trades and Wit
A fragment from a 1925 piece by Dr. Walter E. Traprock touts fur ventures from fox farms to Australian “Schimbammer” creation, notes Asian birth remarks, and includes humor about women and cheerful conduct. The rambling prose mentions Derby preserves, Go wanus canal, and stock exchanges in a curio-filled commercial sketch.
