A site in Maricopa, Arizona, Rivers ostrich ranch site is filed here for what the record attaches to it. The ostrich farms that fed the hat trade—1915-1929.

The ranch is the feathered — the 'hats' that's the market's want, the 'plumes' that's the profit's form. The 'desert suited' is the matched — the 'Arizona dry' that's the veldt's mirror, the 'thousands' that's the flock's peak. The 'fashion turned' is the killed — the 'automobiles' that's the trend's end, the 'hats off' that's the industry's death.
The 'eggs eaten' is the shown — the 'contests' that's the fair's draw, the 'dollar each' that's the bet's price. The 'birds stayed' is the kept — the 'stragglers' that's the desert's flock, the 'wild' that's the escapees' life. The ranch is the traced — the 'fences' that's the ruin's mark, the 'foundation' that's the farm's ghost.
The file keeps the ranch: the feathered market, the matched desert, the turned fashion, and the stayed birds.
Rivers Ostrich Ranch is the archive's Arizona file — the veldt dream the fashion killed.
