Boss of the Plains?

No, reality is the world or the state of things as they actually exist.

So, while the reality is that a Whippet may identify as a BOP, the reality is also that the Whippet is in fact, not a BOP. Saying it so don't make it so.

So you're saying I'm not a little teapot, short and stout?

I do prefer a good stout over a pilsner.

Stout is as Stout does........and well drinks.
I like Stout "It makes me a jolly good fellow".

Off to have a stout and whiskey...........it's calling me now.

I've seen this a handful of times claiming to be one of the earliest Stetson ads. One site claims it's from the 1875 Montgomery Wards catalog but I've looked through a scan of that catalog online and this isn't in it. It was the spring/summer catalog I looked through so maybe there was another one? Does anyone know the true origins of this advertisement?

Was Stetson using nutria fur this early on? I know I've read that nutria was introduced to North America right around the turn of the century but maybe the fur was imported from South America at that time.
