"Get them rags & bones".....

Growing up in the eighteen fifties... the Rag & Bone man was a common site.. he had a big hooter which he squeezed... " any rags'n bones today"... he bought all your old rags & worn out clothes for a few pennies.. and when the wife polished off the old man with the frying pan.. the R & B man collected his bones & boiled them down to make soap.. nothing was wasted in them days. But now we have the R& B girls... its time for a change.....
