4 PLAIN TALK
ABOUT


We wonder If anything that is
sold in stores is subject to as much
misrepresentation, either with de-
fberote intent or through ignorant
soiespeopie, as FURSs We doubt
1t. We can't wonder that a lady
in shopping around to buy Fur
Cloak gets all mixed up and don't
know VITO or what TO believe. We
only wonder that they Pon't con-
ciude that ALL fur dealers are
born liars When we hear the re-
ports of what some ladies have
been told in stores that pretend to
q decent reputation we wonder how
such people can do business. How
ever, we only have to run Ransom
& Horizons business, and it's all we
want TO do, but we want to say
right here, that WE know oil about
Furs, and have saiespeopie that do
also; that our goods are sold for
JUST WHAT THEY ARE, and no
misrepresenting will be counfen-
anced or allowed. You are safe
if you are densey ignorant of ALL
kinds of fur to buy of US, and know
that the article is MEANT to be
every way as sold, and will at once
be freely made right or exchanged
If mistake DOES occur. The i'm
preston that Seal Garments are
very high is a great mistake. Con-
sider the modern "Mutton Leg"
sfeete, and large flare collar, wide
lap and fur facings of present
styles, and If SeaLskins had not od-
vonced the actual material in each
garment is fully one-third more
than three years ago. Garments a
few years ego sold readily in 40 to
44-inch lengths at $500 to S275.
The modern 32-mch Refer act
uoIy takes as much Seal as did
those cioGks, and can be bought
at Tess money A Seal Garment
can never again be bought any
cheaper, and the quality of skins
depreciafes so that we strongly od-
wise purchases at the present stage.
What we said a the start of this
talk APPLIES here. Our Seal Goods
WE KNOW about, and will tell you
TRUTHFULLY and give you the ben
eft of our long experience in aiding
you to make good choice. Our
name on a Seal Garment has come
TO be a warrant of merit, and we
haze qualities in our stock that
money won't buy NOW, and our
competitors can't get at any price,
and we ourselves cannot duplicate.
This is a plain statement of facts,
and is accounted for BY our large
purchases fwo years ago (fhe best
quality of skins of any year since
1892, of which, owing to two warm
seasons, We still have part of on
hand.
When you want anything in Fur
we think we cannot only show you
MORE novelties and different styles
in oil lines, from a Cope to a Jack
et than anybody Oou can judge by
looking, but ladies tell US so daily
and we know our stock IS tremen-
doas), but that we know better
WHAT this section needs; know BET
ter how to select proper skins, and
certainly make the best-shqped
garments, with more good points for
Ibis climate, than any firm East or
Nest. Now we ve"6iown our horn"
i0udIy, 6ut have only stated what
WE know are facts, and we think
you will know ii, too, if you will
come and see US. As to prices,
while ne don't handle trash, we DO
handle fow-pnced goods, and can
give you good Fur Garments at
S25, S35, SIS and SIS, and a
full line of capes at SIS to $3.50.
By HE way, one thing more, we
KNEW capes would sell and DIDN'T
get caught BY "the unexpected de-
mond for capes," as our neigh6ors
advertise, but laid our plans long
ago, and have got shapes (adapted
to this cinate) in large variety
that you can't see anywhere else;
and ne are doing the business in
capes, selling more than last year.
They are good, and have come TO
STAY. We always said so, and
