"Well, they were a lot of income for Chatham County, there in the early nineteen hundreds. [Interviewer: I think I heard that Chatham County used to export them.] They did, from here on the rail, from here and from Siler City. One of the store keepers down here bought dressed rabbits with the skin on. And they salted them and packed them in barrels. And the kids around they could get ten to twenty cents a piece for the rabbits. So, I think my dad said he had twenty boxes set and he made a round every morning and got rabbits before he went to school, whatever he caught."
