Furs, to keep them looking equal to
new" in shop parlance, should be handled
as little as possible, because they show
finger marks. Never keep fur packed away
in boxes, drawers, trunks, ETC.; 1t should
always be hung up on hanger, Tor II
wrinkles very easily. A gentle beating or
shaking, with a combing afterward, is a
benefit to them and an aid to keep them in
good condition. Don't hang fur that has
been wet from being out in rain or snow
storm near a fire or register to dry; let 1t
dry out at leisure in a decidedly cool room.
Then beat all over lightly with rattan on
the hair side, shake and 1t will regain its
pristine freshness.
