typed on applied label affixed to verso, TL: WOSU/ CANINE BEAUTIES \ Tall and slender, the Salukis are one of the oldest breeds \ of dogs known in history. Consuming about one half of a pound \ of meat a day, they are not finicky about their food, and despite their seeming delicacy are strong, healthy, and \ easy to keep and feed. \ WOSU/3 Their sleek, thin lines make the Saluki dogs \ aristocratic-looking and haughty.
