Plumbers and farmers, two questions.

An interesting connection between the two trades, other than a farmer has to know how to do his own plumbing ...

I wanted a new set of Red Wing boots for rough-duty plumbing work, model 953. Redfern, the Redwing store manager in Newark Delaware, told me he keeps that model in stock and farmers were the only ones who bought it. In 1990, after a piece of snapped 6" spun iron pipe whacked my ankle, I went into that 8" Red Wing model and never left it.
