Lettering
A South African ostrich farm. Topical
Lettering continues: Ostrich farming is one of South Africa's main industries, the production of a normal year being valued at three million sterling. An ostrich requires a desert climate and an abundance of nutritious food to produce the best feathers, and some very fine breeding birds have been sold for £1,000 a pair.
