Exclusive with the arm. It is ail- ver fox newly blended into a burnished bronne shade with silver top hair. First of the new tie signs now in the working stage in Wall-G-lo fox is an original shoulder piece cleverly arranged with French soft heads. one at each shoulder, two at front cloa- ing. At the same time Nor-Chills tax is initially being shown in a very new,looklng model leaturing tlhe shoulder-baring ilsmillng neck- no”.

Fashioned all in one, it llipa over the head circling shoulders in broad, squared outline. soft chlflon bow is used as contrasting ornament at center front. It is a direct continuation of the lining left loose at top so that it can be worn draped over the shoulders if desired. Characteristic of this piece. as well as every other fox fashion here. is the detailed let- out working of skins done in the same manner as with mink. In this particular case it gives the illusion of a wide, oneskin shoul- der piece to what is i.n reality a doubletiered one.

At the Western Canada Raw Fur Auction sales held in Van- couver last week dark ranch mink advanced 10 per cent while muta- tions and wild mink were un- changed compared to the former sale. Ninety per cent of the 20,000 dark ranch mink was sold with extra large and lame in better colors bringing sail to :35; dark brown in good sizes, 524 to 515.50 and smaller sizes 316 to 333; fe- males in better types and good colors ranged from 313 to 816 with secondary types from 110.50 to 313. In mutations. 4.000 platin- urns were 80 per cent sold with better colored males at 324 to 330, females 314 to 517. Some 0,000 pastels were '75 per cent sold. Males. light to medium colors brought 535 In 541; darker types in better sizes. 538 to 534: females brought 314 to 518. Half of the 30,000 muskrats were sold. Yukon sloles, large, 31.25 to 31.35.

In the last issue of NatlonalF'ur News. Denver, Colorado. is a pic- ture of a consignment of mink with the following by Editor "Doc" Collins:-"Fly Away, Little Minks." ..:'This is a picture of part of an American mink ranchers ship- ment of 165 seven-months-old sapphires to Denmark. Remember it well. In a year or two the oil- sprinc: of these mink will come flying back-in the form of pelts -to compete with your pelts. Last month a shipment of 1.616 mink valued at 535.000 took off from Bradley Field. Conn. for Norway. Within the past year Sweden and Finland have also re- ceived sizable shipments of choice mink breeding stock from the U. S. This has been going on for perhaps 10 years. Why talk about locking the barn now. you might ask. alter the horse has been stolen? The answer is, we have more than one horse.
