A despatch from Paris, France, has the following: Revlllon Freres, iurrlers. reported net profit for 1952 of 36,148,295-francs, not .101. lars. Converted into American cur- rency the profits would have dwindled to 3103280. Revillon Freres have the finest fur stores in the world and these are situat- ed in the largest cities in the world. Controlling inter-eat in them is held by the Hudson's Bay Company of London, England.
Sam Guttesfeld, an authority on fur markets, writing in Women's Wear Daily has the following: Ac- tivity in the raw fur market con- tinues dull with the exception of ranch and mutation mink. shear- ed raccoon is held to be perhaps the brightest item in the wild fur spectrum. Most dealers believe manufacturers skin inventories are at a minimum and that it will take only a modest amount of early or- ders to rekindle activity in the skin market. As to the price situa- tion, ranch and mutation mink have tended to grow stronger-up to 20 per cent higher for certain types-at recent auction sales. Be- cause interest in this dominant fur continues at a high pitch there is felt to be little chance of any easing off of price levels of these furs.
In the front page of Womenls Wear Daily, New York, for Mon- day, June 1, is a picture of a girl wearing it short coat with a huge Norwegian silver fox collar. It is the first silver fox we have seen for a long time.

This is a. natural thing because the Hudson's Bay Company has numerous posts extending right. to the Arctic and all over the peltry producing parts of the north. These posts have been established almost since the company was in- corporated and have been carried on unlnterruptedly ever since. A great deal of history and tales of adventure and daring can be found in the stories which have been written about the men who faced the dangers of the cold and inhospitable regions in their search for furs.
In Women's Wear Daily of last Tuesday is a picture of a girl in Paris wearing an evening I.- my of fox fur in boa shape and the same shade as her tulle gown. It looks like platinum to us and is very snappy and becoming, we think.
Omar Drager-Larsen was the speaker at a recent meeting of the Upper Michigan Mink Breeders Association on breeding mink and production of pelts outside the U. S.A. Mr. Larsen gave a review of mink producing countries such as Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Fili- land and Russia, as well as Can-I ada. It was Mr. Larsen who was the first man to see beauty in a platinum fox and brought two of the pelts to Paris where they created a. sensation. Later when they went into production in Nor- way be brought a shipment to New York where they were auc- tioned and brought prices up to sll,000 for a single pelt.
That was the spring of 1939. Then all of us were wonderinghow we could get some Norwegian plat- inum foxes. Wilfred Todd of Bos- ton very ingeniously brought a shipment out and raised quite a number in his own ranch. We were fortunate in getting one on lease from Mr. Todd and he produced several litters. Then we made a deal and bought them all and in 1946 with Todd sires and a cou- ple of others we bought locally, we produce clover 130 platinum pclts. We were just one of the ranchers here who had Norwegians so that is an illustration of how quickly a new mutation can go into produc- tion. That there was beauty in platinums is true and still holds true, but Dame Fashion has rul- ed out the long-haired furs and women do not care to be seem wearing a fur that is not in fash- ion and it may take quite a long time before the antipathy to long-

The Norwegian Fur Breeders' As- sociation will launch a campaign in the United States next fall aim- ed at in Norwegian blue fox garments. The campaign will use full pages in such magazines as Vogue, Har- per's Bazaar, Town and Country and possibly the Sunday magazine section of the New York Times. B. H. Hessell and C0,, N. Y., rep- resentatives of concern, will be the agent for mar- keting the blue fox pelts. The skins will also continue to be sold at auction in Oslo.

Noting the recent expressions of sources of the
fox. Discussions with leading manufacturers, re- tailers, designers and various ed- itors has encouraged him to go forward with the campaign. French courturiers have in the past two years created many interesting pieces made of this flattering fur. Such prominent designers as Dior, Schiaparelli, Balmain and Path are among those who have shown great interest.
The production of blue fox in Norway amounted to 65,000 pelts the past. season, of which 40,000 were absorbed mainly by European sources. Thus about 25,000 pelts are currently available. Production for the new season will amount to about 30,000 pelts, he said, as mar- ginal producers are being forced out of the picture. The Associa- tion plans to establish trade marks for the blue fox and will market only the cream of the crop un- der trade mark in the United States. Oslo auction price ranges for the pelts which would qualify for marketing in New York are
65 to 110 kroner, the kroner being
worth about 14 cents. This is ap- proximately s8.50 to :16. Coupled with the fact that few pelts are used in small fox pieces would place the blue fox garments in the popular price category.
The Norwegian mink industry continues to prosper. The breed- ers there produced about 130,000 standard and mutation mink last year with mutations comprising about 15 per cent. The new crop
will amount to about 160.000 pelts, some 25 per cent of which will be mutations. All of last season's
Y NOTES - By J. A. Clark, D.lo. ' CORONATION DAY
June second. Wakening from I. sound sleep, we turned the radio on to the majestic music of West- minster Abbey. The broadcast from then until Queen Elizabeth ll appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, to receive the acclaim of multitudes of her peo- ple; was clear and distinct with scarcely any interference. Having visited Westminster Abbey several times and being familiar with the seating, so clearly described many times in many publications, it just seemed as if we were not only present, for the impressive, sub- lime and gorgeous service in the Abbey, but were able to follow the radiant Queen and her hus- band Prince Philip, Duke of Edin- burgh, and hear the acclaim from the great throngs who lined the royal tour route, as they in the gilt coach of state passed pne af- ter another of the so familiar land marks along the way.
The public areas of icvreater Vancouver each contributed to the. world wide mosiac of Tuesday's' celebration as her jubilant subjects hailed the crowning of Elizabeth II. The City of Vancouver cele- brated the historic event with a very impressive salute to Her Majesty, which was witnessed by more than thirteen thousand" of her people in the Capilano Stadium at 30th Avenue and Ontario Street. There were three thousand military personnel with goodly representation from every arm of the services, the R.C.M.P. and the Canadian Legion. These were ac- companied lby seven regimental bands while the auxiliary groups and sixteen ethnic groups assist- lug 'iu the program added ad-
ditional music. . o n
A Loyalty Address was read by Acting Mayor R. K. Gervin, on behalf of the Lieutenant-Governor. Queen Elizabeth's address was re- layed to that great hushed audi- ence, and was followed by the breaking out of the Royal stan- dard, then the Royal Salute, then the traditional and intricate "Fen de Joie". Thegtroops gave three cheers for the Queen, they were joined on the second cheer and on to the "tiger" by ten thousand citizens. to fairly rock the Sta- dium. Vampire jets and Mustangs swooped low in an aerial salute and then roared over the city. The red coated R.C.M.P., the troops, their bands. the veterans, the auxiliaries, the cadets, I.0.D.E., V.0.N., the Boy Scouts, Girl Guides and many other organiza- tions, marched past. as Alderman R. K. Gervin, took the salute. We were fortunate to have a ring-side location as these passed out of the
