The place is III West Granite-that is,
the residence of the owners, but the rab-
bitry is in the rear, extending nearly to
Quartz street. The owners are ten year
old Paul Passmore and his brother Blair,
who is thirteen years of age. What they
do not know about the rabbit industry
is not worth knowing. Everything they
do is on a scientific basis. They know
the hares will not thrive if not properly
taken care of. and their ra bbitry. which
