PHILADELPHIA, November IL.
"Where shall 60 for my
furs?' The answer is easy;
but, coming from an inter-
ested party, it has got to
bear its reason with it.
"Go to a furrier who un-
derstands furs: go to a
maker who understands
making; go to a seller who
has some stake in his bust
ness; 60 to a merchant who
takes his share of the pecu-
liar risks that furs involve;
go to a man whose word is
as good as his bond.'
To understand furs is to
buy them raw, to watch them
through their several stages
ofpreparation, to judge them
in every state they undergo,
to know how to sort and
grade them when ready.
10 make them is first to
know and then treat every
skin according to knowledge.
A seal is rarely caught with
a perfect skin. A dozen de-
fects do not dishearten the
skilful cutter. If a perfect
garment were only got out
of perfect skins, there'd be
no perfect garments. Look
at the back of a sealskin
ready for lining, and learn
what the knife and the nee.
die have to do with the
smoothness, evenness, color,
apparent unity, Wilderness, of
the garment. 1t takes knowl-
edge and skill and diligent
faithfulness to guide that
knife and needle.
And the fit, the easy hang,
the draping. But in this land
of tai'ors and dressmakers
need we speak of fitting and
easy garments? And yet the
usual experience with furriers
is disappointing, Fur skins
are not so easy to fit and hang
and drape as cloths. Expert
ence is less. There isn't
work enough to give expert
ence 10 many, even in the
largest cities. Furs are worn
by few; and most of the
few buy ready-made from the.
wholesale shops (for fur.
rlers generally buy their
garments readymade); and
readymade furs are very diff
ferent from readymade cloth
ing. Readymade may fit or
not fit; may drape or draw ;
may be graceful or ugly.
But there is another sort
Of reason for having furs
made for you. You've got
to trust the maker; and you'd
better trust a man you can
see and talk to, whose name
you can know, rather than
one behind a screen. The
wholesale maker is a man
behind a screen. You can't
get at him, if your fur goes
wrong,
There are qualities of fur.
There are differencesin skins.

ITEMS.

There are 10000 fisherman in
France. The coast fisheries provide
employment for only $4,000 of this
great force, so that $4,000 French fish
ermen make their livelihood out of for
eign waters. The value of fish cap
tured in 1888 was fi.2S9,0-6, of which
more than f3.000,000 worth were
drawn from outside their own waters.
About four fishermen ont of every
thousand are drowned during the
year.
1t turns out that the Lackawanna
Iron company is somewhat stuck on
its contract to deliver the Canadian
Pacific Railway 10000 tons of steel
rails at S26 so at lake ports An agent
of the Lackawanna. it seems, saw W.
w. Scranton and Walter Scranton on
a Montreal sleeping car, on their way
to attend a wedding, and imagined
that they were going to try to get the
Canadian Pacific contract for the
Scranton Steel Company. He there
fore made haste to bid for it 81 a ton
lower than the price of the English
mills. 1t is thought the company loses
heavily on the order.
The Auburn State Prison deficit for
October is $4,000. One contract, en-
ploying over 100 men. expired on the
sth inst, and only 500 out of no in
mates are now employed on contract
work.
The coinage executed at the United
States Mint in Philadelphia during
October amounted to 4,476,5 sos pieces,
valued at Sl,4ll,700. This amount
was made up of 100000 silver dol
lar, SOL ,505 dimes, $1,000 five-cent
pieces, and 100000 cents.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1884-11-21

The fur itself you can see
and guess at. The skin is
known to the maker who
sees both sides of it, handles
it, cuts it, sews it. 1t may
be tough or tender, heavy
where it ought to be light, or
light where it ought to be
heavy. Nobody knows it
but the maker. Buy of the
maker then. Buy of the
man who has seen the back
of the skin.
But what if the maker
doesn't warrant his work ?
Don't buy of that sort of a
maker. There are fur-mak-
ers that take the risk of their
work. 1t is fair, in case of
risk, that the man should
bear it who can avoid the
loss. That's the maker. 1t
is fair that he should bear
the risk of merchandise who
enjoys the profit. That's the
seller. 1t is fair for the
seller to make the buyer
secure.
The next thing is to see
that your suretyis sure.
There are sellers that war
rant their goods more freely
than make good their defects.
1t is common in selling to
use smooth manners and
generous speech. 1t is COM
mon for merchants to be less
smooth and generous when
called on for damages.
We understand furs Mr..
Freeland, our furrier, is well
enough known to be trusted;
too well to be praised.
We make our furs. Mr..
Frceland goes to London
and Leipzig for skins. Our
factory has grown to be the
largest in town. Our trade
has grown by excellent work
and management. There is
nothing accidental about it.
Fitting more than goodness
of fur, goodness of fur more
than smooth words, and
standing by promises more
than all else, have won us
our trade.
Is our word as good as
our bond? What we have
said over and over, year
after year, in a thousand
ways, in print and by proxy,
is it true-that we guarantee
stuff that we never see to
satisfy buyers whom we
never even hear of, and take
uncomplainingly the losses
that befall US?
1t is a good place to buy
furs-furs that almost no
body's judge Olive have
said not a word about money.
This is all that ought to be
said; There are no bargains
in furs ; but we know of no
place where money goes far.

ALL QUIET THERE AND THE REPORTS OF
TROUBLE SHOWN TO BE FALSE

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 17.-Ever since
the conclusion of the presidential cleo
tion the newspapers at distance have
been furnished with special dispatches
calculated to show that the negroes of
the south were in state of ncenlar
ism and riot. If u fire took place the
correspondents were ready to manulac.
ture rumors of negro completely. If
the colored people hold an ordinary
meeting for church or social purposes,
it is represented as Il plot for riot if
building is burned likewise. The truth
is, that all these reports are unjust to
both blacks and whites.
There is some uneasiness felt by the
blacks regarding their future under
democratic rule, bu, the white people
and such journals a. the Constitution,
have been unremitting in assuring
them. Such house burning and riots
~ may take place are in the ordinary
course of events, and have no special
relation to the race feeling or politics.
The South is perfectly quiet and order
ly, with the races in perfect harmony,
and in no state is this more true than
in Georgia.
