Julius Green. a director of the As- sociated Fur Coat and Trimming Manufacturers, Inc., says the industry is confident that next winter will be the biggest fur season in history. Catering to the masses, the fur industry is "trading down," Green said, offering practical furs such as muskrat, opossum, wolf, beaver, in economical designs suitable for day and evening wear. Even mink is being made with fewer skins to retail at an unpreced- ented low of about $895-this to interest the well-to-do woman who won't be getting a new car this year.
