CORRECT
PELT HANDLING means

1t is our responsibility to make full use of,
and get maximum value from, the natural
resources at our disposal. The rich Ameri-
can fur crop provides 4 source Of income
10 those in all parts of the country who
are Interested in harvesting it.
If FURS are worth trapping at all,
certainly they are worth the time and
effort needed to prepare them properly,
SO that they will bring you maximum
cash returns!
The mink and skunk pelts shown give
eloquent testimony to this creed. The fact
that the correctly handled ones brought
from $l.C0 to $3.50 more per beA than
the incorrectly prepared ones indicates
that careful pclt handing pays.
BY taking the pains to follow pclt ham
ding standards, you are preparing the
goods you have to sell in the manner in
which the user prefers. It is easier for him
to make up uniform lots when all pelts
are shaped correctly. Thus, You are follow

BY doing that, you aim at TOP prices

At the same time, you are protecting
your pelts from spoiling Insufficiently
dried skins, or those upon which too much
fat is left, are likely to reach the market
in tainted condition. Naturally, such
furs bring considerably less money.

Stella made a quick gesture.
ooh, 1 suppose may as we'll. It's
not a very pleasant story. There
was another girl. It was when we
were in Cairo. We'd only been
married few months. We squab-
bled and fought, but then hum
dreds of married couples do that
and weather through. There was
never anything really serious -
and then this Fay Davies came
out to stay with her uncle, who
was a diplomatic attache.
Il discovered that they'd been
friends for years. She was lovely
to look at and tremendously pop
uIar. She had a fiance back in
England, but Tips was the one
who counted. I realized that the
first moment I saw them togeth-

She paused for a moment and
Jane didn't speak. She didn't
want to disturb Stella's story.
Now Stella was speaking again,
in that hard, dry, expressionless
voice telling her of the gossip on
the station. Then there had come
a day when Tips and Fay had
gone off for an excursion into the
desert. They. were to have re-
turned that night, but it wasn't
until late the following evening
that they had put in an appear

and offhand about what had hap
pened. They'd driven off the
beaten track and miles from any
| where there had been trouble
with the car. They'd had to shell
ter for the night in a Bedouin
camp and wait until they were
able to get it repaired. We had
an awful row over it. l wouldn't
have minded if Tips had been
honest with me, but he would in
sist that there was nothing in it.

she said with conviction.
Tips said he'd never forgive
me if l cited Fay in a divorce. So
Tips and I had to drag through
the sordid business of arranging
the divorce. You can't imagine
how dreadful that is"
Stella got up from the table
and reached for her cigarettes
and lit one with fingers that
trembled. We'll, that's about all, "
