BUYING FURs WHOLESALE.
znteresting Particulars Of the Busi.
ness Obtained from Man Of
Experience.

81 don't pretend to be much on
economy and thrift" said the man
in the wholesale fur business, reports
the New York Times, ''but it would
just make your heart ache to see
some of the garments that go out Of
our place almost every day-beautiful
creations of most delicately tinted
satin, chiffon, and tulle lined with fur
costing anywhere from $500 to $4,000.
which cannot possibly be worn more
chan half dozen times. I don't
mean that the wearer will cast them
aside through pure fickleness, but the
materials of which they are made are
SO delicate and so easily crumpled
and soiled that after three or four
evenings, even with most careful
handling, they would not longer serve
to attract an admiring glance at the
opera. 1t seems like the most willful
sort of extravagance-but that's not
our business, and the people are
ready to pay the money-and that's
theirs.
''This season promises to be rec.
ord-breaker for the furriers,'' he went
on. Everybody is going to pile on
furs to the limit, and our receipts re-
feet the fashion accordingly. For
months we have had our agents in the
field buying up everything in sight of
proper quality. have just been down
to, the New York branch of the Bank
of British North America to make
large deposit to the credit of our
man who is up in the Hudson bay re-
gion getting sable. This man is both
Q trapper and trader-that is, he not
only buys skins from the natives, but
gets good many on his own account.
Up there nothing but gold is good, SO
that whatever we deposit here in this
city is telegraphed by the bank to
it's nearest agency and Our man can
draw practically for an unlimited
amount"
"You must have good deal of con-
idence in him." interrupted a listener.
'Yes, we are obliged to-" was the
reply, ''but the profits in the fur
business run all the way from so to
$50 per cent, so that we can stand a
little 'irregularity.' 1t would be lit
tie bit tough to chase man up into
the wilderness and then try to hold
him accountable for every dollar. Our
Hudson Bay man was down here sew
eral months ago and stayed bilin'
drunk for three weeks, so that we are
just as well satisfied when he stays
up on his native heath and keeps
sending us skins. He's Canuck with
wife in Montreal, and his salary ID
sent to her on the first of every
month.
down in South America we have
another man. He went to Ecuador
and is working south through Peru
and Bolivia buying chinchilla. Out
west, through Wisconsin and neigh
boring states, still another agent is
busy collecting, well, principally
skunk, that little animal so plentiful
here in the United States and priced
as much for its long thick fur as it
is detested for certain other char
acteristics. OF the cheaper kinds of
fur none is more serviceable or pref
tier than skunk-among the whole
salers it's just plain skunk, although
you have probably bought it under
other names from some retailers"
