"Furs that are forever faithful"
Since 1887 Newton Annis has been known as a manufac-
turer of (it)i1(1 Furs. Since 1887 the dependability and the
quality of Annis Furs has never changed—this in spite of
the fact that there are more opportunities for deception in
furs than in any other \\Taring apparel.
Eighteen hundred dollars for a short
ii
story! That is the remarkable Inc
paid by the Cosmopolitan Magazine to
Fannie Hurst, a Jewish girl who tri-
umphed despite poverty and adversity.
The trials and final success of Nliss
Hurst are described in a biographical
sketch by Miss Elizabeth Jordan, part
of which is reprinted herewith:
Fannie Hurst was born in St. Louis
October 19, 1889. She is 311 only child
of Jewish parents. Her father is a
business man in very modest circum-
stances.
She went through a public school
and then through a high school, grad-
uating from the latter at fifteen. At
ninteen she graduated from the
NVashington University of St. Louis.
Throughout the time she wrote stead-
ily, and wholly without encourage-
ment.
