With the increase Of the popularity
OF the fur garment the fur trade
has assumed enormous proportions
There are now about ten thousand
manufacturing furriers in New York
city alone, while we couldn't count
a hundred furriers in the same city
thirty years ago The practical fur
rier who was some years ago the
only one to supply the consumer
with garments has been thrust into
the background. Dry goods houses,
department stores. cloak houses.
milliners and hatters have taken his
place. 1t is impossible for me to
tell who knows less about furs, the
milliner, the corset woman or the
halter. But judging from the new
zoology created by the department
stores. the buyer behind the desk
in the department store know the
most. He Is the one who forces the
manufacturer to shrink the prices
and to STRETCH THE FUR SKIN,
which is only one Of the many
secrets of the fur trade. 1t suffices,
however. to undermine the durability
of garment.
Let us take, for example a seal
skin. 20 in.x4O In, costing eighty
dollars. BY stretching the skin
in. in length and 10 in width the
manufacturer gains so square inches,
or $500 When we take into con-
sideration the fact that it requires
six skins to construct the modern
garment, We can easily see how the
furrier. by stretching the skins, can
deduct $50 from the selling prices
of the garment-and, incidentally, )
or years from the wear OF the
garment.
Let us imagine that there are 100
hairs to square inch of unstretched
seal. BY stretching this inch to an

hairs to the square inch-not enough
fur to cover the petit. Consequent

1t is also true that by stretching

sockets. even while the garment il

ufacturer who has the ablest bodied
professional stretchers Is the one
who supplies our retailers with the
cheapest priced garments.
While the stretching Is injurious to
all kinds OF furs it is absolutely
disastrous to such pelts as Persian
lamb. baby lamb and caracul. These
furs have double skin. In the up
per skin are planted the delicate
roots Of the fur. the lower is In the
ing the pelt the two layers are
being separated. and in course of
time the upper layer with it's fur
covering peels off.
For the past 10 or 12 years the
competition among the retail fur
riers who cater directly to the con-
sumner has been so keen that the
majority of retail furriers have alse
installed expert stretchers, and the
garments are being stretched ac-
cording to the price offered by the
consumer. For the above reasons
the fur garments of today don't
wear as they used to years ago.
Patrons who desire garments

My prices are reasonable, and I
guarantee them to wear well.
