Ever heard of the "Chicken Ranch"

I was wondering if there is anyone out there that remembers or knows about the real "Chicken Ranch" a brothel or house located in Texas during the Great Depression?
The Madam, a very astute lady, realized that the economy was such that in order to survive and provide the locals with services they would have start accepting barter for services.
How long do you think it will take for providers to realize it's the way to go now?
I love barter!
While We do not barter for chickens or computer, lawn, pool, handyman services etc I do love and collect men's vintage wrist watches (I love the old Seiko divers watches), pens like montblanc, Real gold jewelry etc... (We can spot a fake from over mile)
I just bartered for an 11,000k triple fuel generator for a full day with me in my dungeon.
It was a blast!
What do you think about providers using the barter system?
It makes life fun and interesting.
