We Want
Your Furs

We are In the market
for your furs every day
in the year, and It Will
pay you to do business
with the Abraham Fur
Co. whenever you have
any furs to sell. Our
big, flourishing, success
full fur house was not
built on wind" did not
grow up over night like
a mushroom, but was
founded many years ago
and grew and expanded
gradually and steadily
through conscientious
application of honest
business methods.
We have built up an
organization that knows
all about how to buy
and sell furs - that
knows how to prepare
furs for the manufac-
turing trade so that they
can be sold at highest
possible prices.
Our ganiz alton
knows more about furs
and the fur business
than any other fur or
ganization in the United
States, and this is the
big reason why we can
and do pay fur shippers
more for their furs day
after day and year aft
er year. It's all in
knowing how.
Most of our competi-
tors are merely fur
scalpers" who take the
furs of many fur ship
pers, throw them in one
pile and sell them on
bids to local dealers.
They cannot get full
value for every shipper
by this method-the
buyer is bidding on a
"cat in the bag" for he
does not know how
these furs will grade
out, and consequently
he plays the came safe
and figures the doubt in
his own favor. This
partly explains why you
sometimes get a good
price and then almost
nothing for your next
shipment from the So
called auction houses.
Not so with the Abra-
ham Fur Co. Every skin
is bought on grade and
sold on grade-every
skin brings every penny
it is worth when we sell
it and every shipper gets
every penny his skins
are worth when he sells
them to the Abraham
Fur Co. No guess work.
No estimating the value.
Every fur sells on its
merits when shinped to
us and when sold by us.
You take no chances
when shipping to Abra-
ham Fur Co.

Have You
Noticed?

That the fur houses
which had the market
quoted entirely too high
in their November price
lists have "sneaked out"
with new prices, quoting
furs from 10 to so per
cent lower, and did you
also notice that they did
not say one word about
the market being lower
in their reading matter?
In fact, they talked
the Market Up and
quoted the Prices Down,
a kind OF Higher but
Lower, fool the shipper
to get his furs camou-
fiage that surpasses any
thing OF its kind we ever
saw. Are fur shippers
going to let them get
away with this kind OF
stuff? We don't think
so.
Compare the Abraham
Fur Co. December price
list with these other
price lists and see which
one strikes you as be-
ing on the square. We
warned you In Novem-
Der that some houses
were quoting prices
above market value and
we told you in plain
words in our December
list that the market is a
little lower. We are the
only house that. told fur
shippers the truth about
the fur market.
IL you want reliable
information about the
market, reliable grad
ing, reliable, honest re-
turns for your furs,
ship them 10 the Abra-
ham Fur Co. We guar
antee to give you an
honest grade and salts
factory returns in cash
for every skin shipped
to Us at all times. We
don't 'Juggle the Grade
to Fit the Price" and
II We can't get your bust
ness on this basis rs
VIII have to get along
without II.
Notwithsts nding, our
prices were lower than
any other house, fur
shippers soon found out
that our grading was
better and that we were
sending them more
money for their ship
ments than the high
quoter, and as q result,
we received more furs
in the past thirty days
than ever before.
Ship all your furs 20
the Abraham Fur Co.
and rest assured your
interests viii be fully
protected.

How allied bombing squadrons are dropping tons of explosives on Metz and accelerating the Hun retreat at various points along the western front will be demonstrated at the big army aviation carnival to be held at Belmont park, Saturday afternoon, Oct. 26.

It is being given for the benefit of the Ma tlcnal Aeronautic committee, which equips all of our flying fields with athletic and sports goods, also band and musical instruments. Enlisted men in the aviation squadrons both here and overseas. receive the benefit of this equipment as well as fiiers. Arrangements have been made to stage a bombing contest in a manner that will be quite harmless, by using a light smoke bomb, instead Of the terrific INT "dewdrop." The 1nfieid will be cleared of airplanes (there will l be more than 100 at the meet) and target erected in plain view Of the | spectators. However. instead of drop | ping missiles from height Of 1000 | feet, as is done above enemy railroad stations and transport trains, the f1ier will release the bombs from an a1ti- tude of about 800 feet This will give 1 the complett effect including the con-
 tact explosion. but will prevent the possibility of a bomb going too near

Ancient Silver Coin.

A coin which is regarded as the most ancient in the world was recently discovered by an archaeolegist during his explorations in North Syria. It is e coin of pure silver, bearing a per feet Aramean inscription of Panammu Bar Rerub, king of Schamol, who reigned 800 years B. c. Up to the time this coin was unearthed the Ly- dians had always been regarded as the inventors of money, but this find showed that the Semitic Arameans, who lived two centuries before the Ly- dians. are the oldest known makers of money.
