Oversized alligator on railcar, c. 1935

Alligator on a railcar. Caption: "The Alligator is a native of the Florida Everglades. For some time its skin has been fashionably used in the manufacture of bags, shoes, etc., and with this increasing use they had been hunted until they were almost extinct. To remedy this situation and supply the demand, several thriving Alligator farms are now in operation, when the breeding and care of alligators is the main industry."
