Why Do We Hold
The August Fur Sale?

Ordinarily the fur business would be dull
at this time.
BY making large plans and preparing our
furs little in advance, we are able to sell
thousands of dollars worth Of fine furs this
month, and we are willing to do it on price
basis that is not possible when the real fur
season has begun.
The advantage to the public is obvious.
Especially where no investment is required,
merely the ordering of such furs as they
would like to have put away in storage for
later delivery.

fact that these are new furs glossy and
beautiful full of life and rich beauty.
The Detroit times., 1916-08-08
The Savings

cannot be computed here in figures because
it is somewhat problematical what these furs
will be selling for by next November. But
if the word of fur experts can be relied upon,
there will not only be demand for furs that
may bring about shortage but the prices
on the finer grades of furs (such as these)
will reach greatly increased valuation.
Whatever way one looks at it, there is a
real advantage in making advance selections
at this August Sale.
People who bought furs in the sale held here
certainly had every reason o. congratulate
themselves later Some or them saved as hiGh
90 per cent by their foreslEhtcdness

BY Choosing Noic--

You are sure of getting the furs you want
from selection that is at its best and finest.
They are kept in storage without cost until
November first
The Detroit times., 1916-08-08

1t is well known fact that fur prices are
advancing.
Last April we published an announcement
warning our customers that good furs were
becoming more and more valuable and that
heavy advances could be expected this
autumn.
At the same time, we fortified ourselves
against these rising costs by making large
purchases of the winters catch of fine pets.
Upwards of $4,000 worth of the most Sc
Iect furs that the fur trappers sent into the
markets were bought by this house and put
in cold storage vaults.
These beautiful skins we have been work
ing on all summer long. Some being made
up by our own fur1iers (for we own and con-

balance being let out by contracts to the

MODES FOR LITTLE WOMEN
The Very Little Girl viii follow the
fashion of English little girls and
wear her frocks extra short this
spring. Little girls in England inva-
riably wear their frocks well above
the knee, and sometimes half way
between the waist and knee. The
American little woman has so far
concealed her knees.
The mushroom hat with a close
fitting head band is the proper hat
for proper little girls just now, so
right proper miIliner tells me.
Leather belts in gaudy checker
board effect have taken the place of
black patent leather in the juvenile
wardrobe.
