July 22 - Rat Catcher’s Day

Our colleagues at the National Archives at Atlanta discovered today is Rat Catcher’s Day (or July 26 — sources vary).  Be sure to check out their gallery for more rat-prevention tips.

Images in our photoset include:

“”Kill The Rat!… The Most Destructive and Dangerous of Animal Pests… Poison Rats! Trap Rats! Never let one go!…”, ca. 1917 - ca. 1919; Records of the U.S. Food Administration

“Build Out Rats”, 1941 - 1945; Records of the Office of Government Reports

“Don’t Feed Rats.”, 1941 - 1945; Records of the Office of Government Reports
