Furs Are in Greater
Fashion Than Ever

Greater, even, than last year, when they
became almost exhausted in the markets
from the tremendous demands.
Paris says: THE vogue of beautiful furs
will exceed anything that has ever been
known"
This means that the wearing of furs will
begin early. For woman no longer looks upon
furs as a mere protection from the cold. She
has discovered that they accentuate her beau
ty, and she desires them for that purpose,
as the mode of wearing furs in summer has
proven.

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 a 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 sucE furs as they
would like to have put away in storage for
later delivery.

The Savings

cannot be computed here in figures, because
it is somewhat predetermined 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 a 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

1t is we'll 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.

against these rising costs by making large
purchases of the winters catch of fine pelts.

BOYS. LURED HERE BY
 TALES OF WEALTH, ARE SENT BACK TO HOMES

! George l.. Warren, general secre- tary of the Charity Organization so- ciety, submitted today his report of the society's work with families for the first six months of the year. In that time I'll families came to the attention of the society for the first time. sOn January ]. t193 families
 were already under the care of the society. From Jan. to July 1, 88 l inouiries were received from other cities concerning families under care | in those cities whileSthe head of the family or bread-winner was employ
 ed in Bridgeport.
 l A new development in the work of
 the society is the. care of trahsients
 and homeless in cooperation with
 the department of public charities
 and the Bridgeport Christian union. During the month of June 8, boys tunder 16 years of age were returned
 to their anxious parents in other cities after the lurid tales of enor- nous wealth had .been exploded by
 their adventures in coming to the
 city.
 1 Among the families under care are
 many widows with children, deserted wives, tuberculosis patients and fam flies in which i1temperance is a large
 factor. The factor of unemployment
 has been reduced practically to a minimum Families in trouble on ac- l count of difficulty in getting rents
 have provided a very large part oi l this society's work during the last six months.
 The society has offices in the Con-
 necticut National Bank building.
