this country. The only furs that Europe fur.
| nIshes are Russian Sable. Persian Lamb A.
! trakhan. Squirrel and Ermine. and the only
, advantage England can offer is in the characte,
of the dye OF the seal. In this respect no oth.,
| nation has been able to compete with England
/ yhoreas America dyes otter and Beaver betts,
| than any other nation. and Germany dyes Per-
| clan LamE and Astrakhan better than oths,
| nations.
BLACK PERSIAN.
| Neither England nor America can dye Persian
J Lamb skins well. Americans, however. have ~
| tempted to dye Persian skins. but up to data
| they have not been successful. The skins lack
| the beautiful gloss Of the German dye. and the
| pelt Is dressed In such manner that the dye
makes It brittle consequently they will not wear
! more than two or three seasons whereas the
| German dyed Persian skins will wear from siY
| 20 eight years and always retain their pristine
beauty There are great many garments
manufactured from American-dyed Persian
skins offersd in this market. and they can be
purchased at about one-half the cost Of the
| genuine Leipsc-dyed hope. however. that 10
the near future America will be able to dye
Persian Seal. and other furs as we'll as 1t does
| Otter and Beaver. but until that time comes'
7 will not sell any furs except those which are
dressed and dyed properly b. the nations which
| excel in their speciality. The Amercan-dyed
Otter the Engish-dyed Sealskin and the Ger
man-dyed Persian Lamb skins are the best
SKINS SHOULD BE PROPERLY DRESSED.
II IL important that all skins used for manu-.
facturlr- be thoroughly dressed and II Is TO b
regretted that more attention is not paid to
this n,portant factor Garments made from
properly ,ured and dressed skins will wear
we'll ard retain thei- color and beauty, while
! garments made from poorly dressed skins soon
fade. 'ched the fur, and get shabhy-ookins after
| being worn short tint
DYEING FURs 80
The art OF dyeing furs has reached such
high state OF perfection that the co:nmonest
kind can be made TO look like the genuine. Coney
| SKINS are dyed TO look like Seal, and are adver'
t,sed as Electric Seal. Muskrat skins are dyed
TO look like seal. and are called CANADA Sea-.
Opossum Is plucked and also dyed TO look IKE
Seal and Is called China Seal Coon skins are
dyed to initiate Alaska Sable and are called
black Marten Natural Muskrat is advertised as
Brook Mink Muskrat costs 10 to 20 cents, while
the genuine Mink costs from 81 TO 81 per skin
