Skins Wanted
“I have a good customer for snake and alligator skins,” writes Mr. J. E. Nixon- Westwood, of 37 Farquhar Road, London, S.E.19. “If you care to insert a note in the P.I.M., and ask anyone interested to communicate with me, I will have the merchant here reply direct to them. Py thon and all kinds of snakes are wanted, so that there may be a nice market for them, and New Guinea people could use the W.R.C. ships to send the freight direct.
“For the alligator skins they pay 9½d. per inch—that is from the end of the horned back to the middle of the belly, and both sides are purchased.”
