About Albrecht
Sealskins.

THERE is a very decided and
1 marked difference between a
sealskin garment made by E. AL
brecht & Son and that from any
other house. All our high grade seal
coats are made with the exclusive
"Albrecht one-piece blocked-back
and continuous storm collar,' which
means that the entire back from top
of collar to edge of skirt, and from
shoulder to shoulder, is made of one
piece requiring no seam under the
collar or down the center of the
back. This gives grace and: set
to the garment that is found in no
other .sealskins. Our sealskins are
oil guaranteed genuine Alaska
"pup' seal-Lcudon ,,dye-person-
i, ally selected and imported in origi-
nal lots. Notwithstanding the small
catch, Of genuine. Alaska seal and
the fact that many furriers do not
possess a single genuine Alaska skin,
our stock consists Of many original
eases, amounting to 2 per cent of the
entire legal catch of seals. We sell
our sealskins with an absolute and
unreserved 1cr1tte1, guarantee that
they are exactly as stated in the
minutest detail. -,
Our prices are the Lowest made
by any house in The trade for high
class garments. 49,"
