Taken Up. — A flock of 16 turkeys came to my premises about Sept. 1, 1905, which the owner can have by proving property and paying all charges. Henry Nolte.How are you supposed to prove you own the turkeys? Will they recognize you? What if they claim they've never seen you before? Do you maybe have their photo IDs?
Lest you think Henry Nolte's request for payment of charges was grasping, that was a standard feature of such "found animals" ads. People who went to the expense of feeding other people's livestock and placing an ad in the newspaper did like to get reimbursed.
