Old Bill Tyler and Henry Frapp, wernt they a pair! man that was a great flick!! during that time, Silk was replacing the use of Beaver for hats which is what eventually halted the Fur boom in those days, I myself must be even a bit more stubborn than Old Bill was, as i have declined all offers for my goods so far this season, but, i also have a good paying summer job so unlike bill i can afford to hold over till Fur shine's again. i recall one season in particular, i held over and pulled a $8 icrease over the prior seasons offers, one things for sure, none of us are going to get rich on this end of it, but alot of the Manufacturers sure seem to have done well for themselves, I think i'll go plug in Old Bill ,Henry,Heavy Eagle and Runnin Moon and who could forget Old Chief Iron Belly as well.
