W. W. Kersey Crowned Champion Rat Killer in Bluefield
W. W. Kersey of the Royal Steam Laundry earned the title of champion rat killer after 18 hours of work spanning Friday night to Saturday morning. He counted 94 rats, some nearly as large as a young cat, weighing over fifty pounds, with additional quarry likely. He credited Hobson's rat and mice paste from South Bluefield Pharmacy and noted using only part of two tubes on 25 cents worth of cheese, leaving him puzzled by the large number of rats attracted to little cheese.
