This doesn't mean that there
is no longer a demand for fur
coats, but the styles and types of
fur have changed, in large part
because of differences in lifestyles.
Mr. Kozin recalls a time when
August signaled a time for the
high-fashion lady to assemble her
winter wardrobe. Now, he says,
she's more apt to wait for
extremely cold weather or a sale.
The big question for local fur-
riers, of course, is just how heavy
a toll the anti-fur movement has
exacted?
Almost unanimously, they
shrug away PETA (People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals),
describing members as fanatics
who would virtually wipe out
medical research and forbid the
wearing of wool, silk, and leather
apparel including shoes and belts.
Fur-coat owners like Myrna
Salzman of Southfield say they
enjoy wearing fur and aren't
about to stop.
Ms. Salzman loves the retort
of a friend who was chastised for
wearing a new raccoon coat at
Thanksgiving: "And how's your
tofu turkey coming along?" she
cooed.
"People are tired of other
people telling them what to do,
what to eat and what to wear,"
Mr. Bricker says.
"Furriers, trappers and hunt-
ers are not the barbarians they've
been made out to be," Mr. Ceres-

How heavy a toll has
the anti-fur
movement
extracted?

nie adds. "Eighty percent of our
furs are ranch-raised, and the
other 20 percent are from
animals that are overabundant."
He believes people buy every-
thing in cycles: today the public
loves Jeeps; it used to be sports
cars. Like all other industries, fur
will weather ups and downs, he
says.
Who will engage in the fur
business should there be a strong
turnaround?
Most likely it will not be the de-
scendants of today's furriers.
There are no Bricker, Kozin or
Mann offspring eager to take over
the business.
Still, Robert Roberts believes
that his son, also named Robert,
will continue the family tradition.
Some of the Ceresnie children
tell their father they want to be
in the fur business, too.
"Jews glamorized this busi-
ness, and it's still a wonderful
industry," Mr. Bricker says.
Mr. Kozin agrees, stating that
as young people become more so-
phisticated, they will still want
fur.
He ends wistfully: "Do me one
favor—wish for a cold 1...intor."
