Against Fur
SwindIers

Warning against an organized fur
swindle now being worked on Mon
tana citizens was issued today by
Montanans. Incorporated. the state
chamber of commerce. Reported by
Kenneth F. Roahen, United States
game management agent. the group
sells what they represent to be
finest quality fur coats, in reality
inferior material
For the past three or four years
a gang known to us as the William
son Trading Company. with head
quarters at Boise, Idaho, and On
tario, Ore, consisting of approx
mately SO men and women. have
been working Montana. as we'll as
other western states, selling as they
represent them to be finest quality
fur coats Mr.. Roahen wrote Mon
tanans, Incorporated
This gang preys on farmers
wives, beauty operators. clerks, etc,
who do not know their furs Prac-
tically all of these supposed first
quality coats are made from dyed
rabbit skins and dyed house cat
skins and cost the statesmen from
$3.50 to $3.50 F. 0. 3. Montana
points, they being made in New
York and Chicago. The statesmen
when approaching a residence or
other point will. If they consider
general looks to be sufficient, price
their garments at anywhere around
$500, and various sales have been
made around that price. If condi-
tons do not appear favorable. they
may price the garment at $3.50 and
finally come down to $50, $50 or
even $35.
Their principal salestalk is that
they struggled the garments in from
Canada and thus saved the duty, or
that they trapped the fur and had
the fur made into coats. They rep
resent the coats to be fine quality
Alaska or Canadian furs, such as
seal, etc The house cat coats are
represented as fine mink coats.
Most of these coats are of even
SO poor quality rabbit skin that
seams cannot be sewed. but must
instead be glued together. II this
fact happens to be noted by a pros
pective customer and attention
called to the matter, the reply is
that this is the new way in which
fur coats are made, that the seams
are 'vulcanized The same coat or
even better grade Of coat can be
purchased from local dealers at
from $28 to $38 retail.''
Information from Mr.. Roahen in
dicates that the gang has split up
to cover the smaller centers, basing
their activities in the larger cities
OF the state. The group is some
times known as the Scotch Gyp-
sizes" according to Mr.. Roahen, and
travels in Cadillacs, Oldsmobiles,
LaSalles and Packards. They do not
stay at hotels, but stop in tourist
camps.
