seasons.
The worlds prosperity and its rapid in
crease In population are, of course, the chief
causes Of the extinction of fur. AS recently
as ten years ago the people of the United
States were not counted among the great
buyers OF fur. Now the majority of women
among ninety million people are purchasers
OF fur of one kind or another. Five years
ago London was the worlds greatest fur CEN
ter, with Paris a close second Today. SO
enormous has the demand for fur become in
this country as well as across the sea that
there are over 1900 establishments for the
treatment Of fine furs and the making OF fur
garments in New York City alone
London and Paris have now taken second
and third places in the actual making OF fur
garments. though London handles more raw
fur than the other two combined Last year
the value Of New York's finished" output was
nearly s20000,000, and fully sixty per cent.
