The early American Shorthair

Here's an advertisement showing the 'Domestic Shorthairs' of Mrs. Bryna Shine of Detroit, MI. These Domestic Shorthairs were winners at the Detroit Persian Society show in 1943. Domestic Shorthairs were the early version of the American Shorthair (and CFA did change the name officially from Domestic Shorthair to American Shorthair).
