Dickinson, North Dakota

black and white copy negative

1.5 x 1.5

Three envelopes all titled (Massad Rabbits).
This negative was found in J2009.001.018.001 and moved to correct location as this belongs to the Osborn collection.
A copy of another photo of jackrabbits at Massad's (32924-001) appeared in the April 18, 1952 issue of the Dickinson Press along with an interview with George Massad. In the article George Massad states "It was in 1929 when an agent for Rosenfelder and Son of New York, and also Germany, came to Dickinson. He wanted rabbit meat and hides. I didn't have any idea of that business and the money so I said, 'Sure!' I'll sell you rabbits! And that man was the first agent to buy rabbits for that firm here in North Dakota."
