Ravages by Rats.

Published in the Waukegan Daily Sun, Waukegan, Illinois on Thursday, April 6, 1922

     It has been estimated that the economic loss from rats in the United States is $200,000,000 a year. In other estimates before the war, the annual damage in the United Kingdom was $70,000,000. As a carrier of bubonic plague and other diseases, the rat is charged with the loss of more human lives than all the wars in history.
