The attendance at our winter sale
was the largest and most representa-
tive that we have yet had. Prices
realized for fancy furs of all kinds
were much above prices prevailing
just previous to the sale, and on a
number of articles new high records
were established. This was, no doubt,
partly due to the freshness and high
quality of the merchandise offered.
Very truly yours,
Funston Bros. & Co.

Funston Bros. & Co.-Advt.
