We used the Sears’ Catalog to burn the underside of the outhouse seat. Neophytes think the catalog is for wiping but we used softer paper. Black widow spiders built up around the seat in warm weather and we set the catalog sheets on fire to burn around the seat before seating. Many a man died when a black widow bit him on the balls.
Yep! Very familiar and useful; besides giving us some pictures to look at while we were in the outhouse - UNLESS - it was winter time and then we HURRIED through!
