12" Wooden Ruler made in U.S.A. of American-grown basswood.
Animals have lived at the White House ever since president John Adams moved into the building in 1800, and almost every president has kept pets while living there. Dogs have been, and still are, the most popular presidential pet, but quite a few of our nation’s leaders also kept birds and ponies.
It may appear that Abraham Lincoln gave his dog Fido a very traditional name, but in fact it is because of Lincoln that Fido, Latin for “I am faithful” became a popular dog name.
Some of the more interesting (and sometimes funny) names are ponies named Mason & Dixon, two opossums called Mr. Reciprocity and Mr. Protection, a parrot called the Washington Post, a dog named Veto, and Amy Carter’s Siamese cat Misty Malarky Ying Yang.
The “head” is Franklin Roosevelt’s famous Scottish terrier Fala, who often traveled with the president and became the subject of a movie in 1942.

"I have always shopped online with City Supply, but today I finally made it to NWA for an in-store visit. WOW! It is such a cool store. They did a fantastic job with the design/ decor. I spent several minutes looking up at all of the displays… lots of vintage razorback, and camping gear. Super cool. I found several gifts for my sweet husband, including… a really cool sec fish shirt, trout hat, and an Arkansas cutting board. The CS website is nicely done, but the store… you must see the store! I am so glad I stopped in. The associates had great customer service, and rounded out my purchase with some neat razorback pins. Worth the drive from LR!"– KATIE PAZDERA
