Fur Display

Moth and rust have not been permitted to corrupt any of the excellent furs in the store of the First Siberian Furriers, we are told. All stocks are in fine condition including those of customers who had the foresight to store with the firm during summer months. New stocks of excellent pelts will charm purchasers this season, and the expert handling which these demand, in matching, and tailoring will not be wanting at the store named. There is talk of a good deal of change in style in fur coats this winter, so that existing garments may need alteration with renovations in places. This is work which only the trained can handle, but very happy results are frequently obtained when a worn garment is sent for "hospital" treatment to an expert furrier.

There is, of course, little or nothing new in the skins themselves. The leopard cannot change his spots, and animals who know no fashion continue to wear the coats so excellent ly provided by Dame Nature. They might be considerably astonished though, were they rational, to note what marvellous things can be done with their practical pelts.
