Centre of Fur Goods
Industry Here

by the fact that out CT the total value OF
s5.S45. 600 worth Of dressed furs imported
the value OF those imported into New

Belgium. Germany. Russia in Europe
and the United Kingdom are the principal
sources OF our fur importations. II ~
probable that q large proportion OF the
Belgian and German trade is due 10 the
fact that they are the great transshpping
centres for such goods from all over the
world
The manufacture OF fur goods promises
TO be steadily developing industry The
use OF furs as a part OF wearing apparel
In all its various forms is steadily be-
coming larger and more diversified. The
statistics published by the Census Bureau
show that greatly increased consumption
has taken place in recent years and that
there has also been a greatly increased
importation Of raw and dressed furs.

materials and the strategic position OF
this city gives a. II an actual supremacy
in the distribution OF all such products.
Finally the primary essential 20 the
profitable manufacture OF FUR goods is
the presence Of a large, wealthy and even
extravagant local market, which IL SUM-
GENTLY diversified 10 present large de
mand for different kinds and qualities Of
fur garments.
New York City is the one great indus
trial centre IN the United States where
such a market can be found. With this
market as a basis for the development OF
the industry. together with the fact that
the city is the style centre OF the United
States the New York manufacturer has
a prestige upon which 10 base the distri-

will maintain It's supremacy as the centre

BELIEVED SEERESS.
Girl Ends Life After Hearing State

Kansas City. Nov. 21.-The predic-

man she was soon to marry would
drink and be unfaithful. making her
married life unhappy. caused Agnes
Fairbanks, 20 years old, to commit
suicide at the home of her f1ance in
Kansas City. Kan, today. Miss Fair
banks was engaged to marry young
man 81 years old, with whose parents
she lived. The girl came to Kansas
City, Mo-, to consult a fortune teller.
"Your young man will drink and
be unfaithful and your married life
will be unhappy" the fortune teller
told her. The girl believed the seer.
She had not had opportunities for ed
ucation to put her above such super
stitions. Her mother was dead. Her
father lived elsewhere. She was
homeless until she found friends and
a young man who loved her enough to
marry her. She cried about her for
tune" and told the family. They tried
to reassure her. Today her fiance
went to work. A little later Agnes
ended her life.
