Insect-collecting pants

A stunning pair of cow pants brought back from a 1937 issue of Popular Science by Modern Mechanix. The cattle trousers are used to collect specimens of ticks and other insects. These are sent to laboratories where extensive research is being made into the best methods for combating the unsanitary and annoying insect pests.
