"Hey mister! That's a nice fish net you've got there! But it's too small and there are no fish here in the desert!"

"Edward!"
"Well then, dear Edward, I'm not looking for fish. My name is Felipe, and I am a lepidopterist."
"HUH? What's a lepo, …leper...lepidoctor...?"
"A butterfly collector."
"I see."
"Did you see some pretty butterflies out there in the desert?"
"Only if I get some Goldibear biscuits. The ones over there on the shelf. Cost only a dime a pack."
"Edward, you are a connoisseur of fine foods!"
"HUH?"
Money oils the machinery of this world. But to keep the machine running, money must also flow. In the 19th century West, trading posts and general stores were the hubs of commerce. At trading posts, goods could be bought and sold: Furs and livestock, as well as raw materials such as silver or gold were traded there. Household goods, fabrics, clothing, weapons, spices, jewellery, and durable food were on sale. In the second half of the 19th century, however, with the railways and the invention of barbed wire, the demise of the cowboys began. Cattle herds could be kept in certain areas and the railways saved the tedious cattle drives. The West became a relatively "wild" West during this period!
