But let me get back TO the
Question my lady listener
asked. what should / look
flor when buying a mink
Icoat?", she said. I told her
THAT I'm no expert but that I
would get the right answers
from a real expert, Isidore
lGartenhaus. He told me SO
many interesting things about
buying furS that I'm passing
the information on to you
with the hope that it will be
of help to you, especially now
during the big sales. =
$50 many women" Mr.. Gar
Itenhaus says, think mink is
Imink-and If the pelt bears
this name 1t must be the best.
This is a completely wrong
conception. There are almost
as many different qualities in
mink as there are colors in the
rainbow. We, of course, always
advise our customers to buy
the best fur Of its kind-which,
incidentally, is all that we
offer. If you can't buy the best
mink, we urge you to buy the
best in a fur you can afford -.
IF you do decide on mink,
first pick your shade. And
here, you have virtually every
hue imaginable TO choose from
all in beauteous natural
color. They are doing marvel
Gus things in breeding on the
American ranches, and you
can find your color whether
it's blue, grey, black, white,
brown or an" variation there
of. We do sell blended or
dyed mini and we advise
against bL. ng them.
Let me right now reiterate
a point our store always
makes: Buy your fur from a
man who clearly labels the
name of the animal, country
of origin, whether dyed or
natural, and has prices that
are clearly visible-no codesl
when 1t comes to the style
to choose, it's no different
from any other wearing APP
parel you would buy. 1t de-
lpends on what the garment
will be used for sheer,
dressy glamour or casual,
lgood- looking warmth, etc. Buy
a mink style that suits your
Figure, much as you would a
dress. The heavier woman
looks best in a subtle color and
lstyle that emphasizes height.
. Tall and slim girls can wear
whirling motifs and bright
shades. Short women create
attractive silhouettes in modi-
fled coats with let-out stripes
running up and down.
Whether you buy a CUSTOM
styled or ready-made mink
coat is strictly up TO the Gus
toner. However, we gladly
style any wrap to suit an indi-
viduals needs and ideas. Our
custom-styling includes such
services as personal selection
of mink bundles, pattern
designs and try-on fittings,
finest craftsmanship and style
details. All Of this is handled
in our own work rooms. as we'll
as re-styling, remodeling and
repairing Of mink garments.
