Perhaps the most interesting unknown fact was that Sears bought raw fur from trappers between 1925 and 1958. Trappers would mail their pelts to Sears. Sears also sponsored a national fur show between 1929 and 1958 in various cities. Trappers, often just farm boys, could win nice prizes with their entries in the fur show. Sears even had a magazine that contained trapping tips they sent to the trappers. Medals were sent sent to trappers who did a good job of preparing their furs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"496\" height=\"685\" src=\"https:\/\/thekeynotepresenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/tips-for-trappers.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thekeynotepresenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/tips-for-trappers.png 496w, https:\/\/thekeynotepresenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/tips-for-trappers-217x300.png 217w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 496px) 100vw, 496px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"301\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/thekeynotepresenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Sears-fur-medal.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thekeynotepresenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Sears-fur-medal.png 301w, https:\/\/thekeynotepresenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Sears-fur-medal-211x300.png 211w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I spoke at the upscale retirement community The Cardinal at North Hills.
