Fascinating. I hear you on the kakis and Polos. Everything is watered down into dullness these days and I know because I wore the same thing during my short pest control career. This is such a cool post, though. I have never heard of rat catchers. I do like the aspect of being one's own boss. And it sounds way cooler than garbage man. Incredible post, Parker.
Nice to read another installment on vanished (or nearly vanished) trades. What's coming next?
Thanks, Tim. Up next is the 19th century armed couriers known as “the expressman.“
