FURS DIRECT
FROM FARMS
By John P. Medbury.

~ EVERAL cities now have fox
-, farms where your wife can
~ go and buy her furs direct
from the animals.
She can see how it looks on the
fox's back before she puts it on
hers.
It's wonderful to have a neck

your own city.
You can watch your collar and
cuffs grow up from a pup.
If you pay for the fox in ad.
vance you can leave the fur on
his back until you get ready to
use 1t.
A fur never spoils while he's
wearing 1t.
OF course once you take 1t OF
Of him you can't put It back.
A woman who owns her own
fox has to pay for his food. The
quicker you skin him the less he
costs you.
You never have to feed him
when he's hanging up in the
closet.
Ono woman went out to the
farm, caught her fox and sewed
hooks and eyes on him.
She figured this would save her
q lot Of sewing later on.
But as far as the fox was con-
cerned he would much rather have
had her wait.
He wouldn't have cared how
much sewing she did on the fur
II she had only taken him out Of
It first.
1t was too uncomfortable while
he was still inside.
No matter how tame a fox may
become he never gets used to a
needle and thread.
It's quite thrilling to go out
to a farm and see the foxes run.

One dame wanted to know
why a certain fox looked so sad.
The proprietor told her 1t was

Buying your furs direct from
the farm is a great saving and
wonderful sport. In fact it's lots
of fun for everybody except the
fox.
