fraternal supply catalog no. 439

reproduced in its entirety, for your enjoyment, the demoulin bros. & co 1930 fraternalism supply catalog. amazing! you have to imagine normally well behaved, respectable, guys heading off after work to their lodges to unleash the silly pranks and bizarre contraptions from this catalog on one another. the fuzzy wonder goat, the electric branding iron, the guillotine, drinking the goats blood, the lifting and spanking machine, trick guns, not to mention the endless masks and costumes, all just the tip of the iceberg. each with detailed explanations, though all the explanation really needed is: “nothing is more fun than humiliating others.” great find via mofi.
