Tkfly axe lined with a double warped Italian cloth. Will not fray out or wear full of holes. Try a Hercules if you have never bought one.

Ode To Bacon

You're salty and smoky and greasy as sin, Yet of all the grub we love you the best You stuck tous closer than nlghest kin

You helped us to win out the west. You froze up with us on the Larimee trail

You sweat with us down at TucBon When Indian was painted and white man was pale,

You served us to grip our last cbance by the tail, To load up our guns and bang on

So here's to you old bacon, Fat, lean-streak and rind All westerners join in the toast From Meequite and Yucca to sage brush and pine

From Exira to the Mexico line.
