Dangling Fox Tails On Cars Prove Latest Style
In order for car owners to travel in the latest style their cars must be dressed up with a fox tail attached to the radiator cap.
A few out of state cars have been seen in Arlington with grey fur pieces hanging to their radiator caps. Observers have looked twice, wondered if they were seeing things, and the why for.
It couldn’t be that someone thought that the fur pieces would keep the radiator warm these wintry days! Closer inspection revealed the fur pieces to be fox tails which didn’t help to solve the mystery.
After much inquiring the solution to the mystery was reached. It is a fad that started in California. Yes sir, the latest way of dressing up your car is to hang a fox tail to the radiator cap.
J. D. McGee of the Western Auto parts noticed the fad and immediately stocked some fox tails. They can be had at one of Arlington’s newest businesses for 25 cents apiece.
Call it a fad if you want to, but Mr. McGee says that a Dallas wholesale house has placed an order for 10,000 fox tails for immediate delivery.
