Carol, First, I think you did a great job with this project- what an interesting and rich primary source collection. I love the photo of the showroom and who knew that people around the globe might be interested in acquiring one of these little critters to keep the dog company. I think here is also one of the most intriguing parts of your story- people were talking about Comfort, Texas' armadillos in places across the country and across the globe. Also, I think that the roadside dedication is fascinating and could send you in many directions regarding future research- what was the reception to armadillo products at the World's Fair? Where were most products shipped? What made the armadillo a high demand item in the medical research field? Very interesting stuff, these armadillos.
