at PRE AT :Low price levels

...and here's why

Our prices have always been moderate and our volume of sates has always
been great. As a result we were not confronted with the need for "reducing"

highly inflated price tickets in an intensive January sale. Consequently this
IS NOT a clearance . . . but a selling of valuable, newly made fashions at

dropped prices reflecting lowered skin costs and economies effected in our

four-fold capacity as raw skin buyer ... style

creator . . . wholesaler and retailer. These fur

fashions are made of the newer, softer, finer
fresher pelts obtained at the recent raw skin

markets. We urge you to select a truly NEW

fur at the lowest of the present low price levels.
We believe our current prices are the lowest that

will be quoted on luxury furs for a long time to

come.
