What did in Herter's was not the 68 gun control act, he got himself in a pissing contest with the U.S. Wild Life Service and the sale of Jungle Cock and Polar Bear fur. That put him out in 1974 or 75 or so. I have to admit, his books was a hoot to read. Self published. George Herter was a piece of work to be sure. At least that is how it was explained to me, I knew a fellow that worked for him. Who knows for sure. I still have some Trade jars I bought from him, for sugar and flower etc, Hudson bay trade goods. It was an interesting time to be sure.
