Cat skinners. I would not skin a cat for all the cat fur in China. Most clothes are made of of cat fur in China. As a matter of fact, the first Studebaker had cat fur upholstery. Probably mixed with bear hide, as it was bought from Wildcat cat skinners of the Pacific Northwest. A popular smoke when they ran out of tabaccy skinning cat, was cat fur and bear fur rolled in an alder leaf. You held the thing together with a spine of Devil's club. <font color=red> Matter of fact I still belong to the Devil's Club. Used to be chairman.</font> What ever happened to that, and Elderberry Whine? Ever seen mist rising from a snowbank from a bear breathing slow in the winter in his den? Most often bears use piles of brush to sleep in. They form kind of a natural igloo in the winter. The blow hole in the snow forms naturally. You will see steam rise out about once a minute. Here, have a <font color=red>Devils club</font> roll-yer-own. Watch out fer the spine. Jes made it outa cat/bear fur. Better than that there Daily Mail anyday. EC<:-}

It should be noted here that the copper cementation process was often used for the Studebaker car when it got old. You would drive your Studebaker into the tailings stream of a copper mill, and it then it gradually became a Studecementbaker or a Blisterstudecopperbaker. This halted any further corrosion, andd after a suitable interval, you could drive it away, all shiny and new, albeit copper coloured. If mechanical operation was no longer possible, you could tow it home park it on the front lawn and say you had it bronzed. EC<:-}
