able. Once the spring and sum- mer months come the ranks of the unemployed will dwindle rapidly and few men will be available to do the countless jobs each year brings.

INTERIOR WORK

A great deal of the interior work

in homes and offices could be done at this time and in parti- cular employment officials point to the papering of rooms, plas- ering and repairs to ceilings, el- ectrical wiring, sanding and re finising floors and painting woodwork. All of these, they say, are jobs which practically every home owner must do or have done each year.

Fully co-operating with the government in efforts to provide winter employment during the peak unemployment season, mer- chants throughout the city and province have made ready the materials necessary for these re- finishing jobs. Stores have pre-| pared displays illustrating the) jobs which may be done now and_ showing the materials needed for doing them. In addition many, merchants have set the pace by, having their own store decorat-! ing and repairs done at this time.|

PRICES -

At the Danish Fur Sales held in Copenhagen on January 21, standard mink prices — four percent higher, with December levels. Standards were 96 percent sold; with Kaly and the United States the mast lactive buyers. The United States took the ial skins, with Italy .very active in fop grade mink. The United Kingdom and Germany alse did some buying.

Mink breeders in the United States and Canada will be plea- ised to learn that the New York Hfur-trade, through its recently- formed Fur Information and “ea Council, has embarked

‘ona program to increase~ the promotion and sale of fur . of all types, both in garments and furtrimmed cloth coats. PUSHING FURS be The 1958-50 advertising budget is estimated to exceed a hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) and the total for the rext three years has been set at one million dol- lars. The Council is ‘composed

of fur manufacturers, auction companies, dealers, brokers, dressers and dyers — almost

every segment of the trade, in-

cluding the union.

As the first step in broaden- ing its market, the fur, industry} set its sights on the young wo-| men’s market, numbering some 30,000,000. The program will be) kicked off with a “young design- er collection of furs-te retail at

$500 or less.”

On January 8, 9 and 10 mem- bers of the Can dicn Mink Breed-

ers’ Fxecutive Committee met, with .Lowell Hancock represent- ing our local breeders, and made some important’ decisions among which was the voting of a grant of $4,000 to the Ontario Veterin- ary College for the carrying on of research in mink diseases. PROMOTION

Another decision was to stage EMBA ‘Mutation Mink) and Ca- nadian Majestic (Dark Mink) promotions in four European countries in April and May of t year. The promotions will ta place in Vienna, Austria, Fronk- furt, Germany, Zurich, Switzer- land and London, England, and they will include Mink ' Fashion Shows and a Fur Clinic for the benefit of retailers in mink gar- ments. Fur Fashion Shows will also be staged at the above plac- es for the entire fur trade.

Other decisions included the printing in Canada of a consum- ers “Brochure’’ on EMBA and Majestic Mink which will be avail- able to retailers of fine furs.

Our local mink breeders are practically all members of Can- ada Mink Breeders’ Association which supports the above program: through a deduction made by authorization to houses in Canada handling their pelts. The amount which the Association expects t6 spend on promotion this year is in the vicinity of $77,000.

While on the above trip Mr. Hancock visited Hudson's Bay Company's branch in New York and conferred, with their market- ing service officials and was | given every opportunity to in- | spect the top mink in the various colors which had been consigned | to them. ~
