TlMElY NOTES ON Fllll FARMING
A despetch from Ottawa to Wom- ens Wear Daily New York has the following: March '14 Arbitrary values established by Canada some years ago on raw Russian musk- rat have been eliminated with the granting to Russia of "most favor- ed nation" treatment in the recent- ly drafted three-year R and- lan trade treaty, Falrchlld News Service learned. Customs and Ex- cise Department officials. however. do not expect 1 flooding of the Can- adian market with the cheap Rus- sian skins. pointing out that any excessive shipp to Canada would have n deteriora effect on the world for market in general. Act- ually, Canada abolished fixed v nations on fur imports in 1952 prior to which it exercised arbitrary val- ues on three specific grades of furs. These applied to all raw muskrnt imports from Russia. and the reg- ulations remained in effect until Canada signed her recent trade pact with the Soviet union.

A discussion has taken place in New York re extended credit. Many
furriers believe in it, others arel
against the practice. An article by Alfred Green in Women's Wear Daily, N.Y. is attracting great at- tention. He heads it with this: Can Fur Coats Be Sold Like Automob- iles? A number of fur retailers have become increasingly convtn. ced that the way to compete with hard goods for the consumer dollar is to adopt the methods of ex- tending credit-and capitalize on the availability on such buying terms. that have typified the sale of big ticket items in America in recent years. Furniture, appliances. auto- mobiles. even airplane tickets it is pointed out, can all be purchased on extended credit basis, with a small down payment and up to 24 months or even longer to pay.

basis for, comparison with the hard good fields. "Many department- stores have such credit facilities available to their customers, of course, but it is never played up when it comes to selling furs. Fed- eral Reserve figures show that on- 1y 1 very small percentage of furs is sold by such easy payment met- hods, while probably 80 and 90 per- cent of cars is sold that way. The price tag on a good fur coat is comparable to that of a good auto- mobile. If automobiles were still sold with the high down payments and short-term credit that are re- qulred i. most fur departments, automobiles, like mink coats. would be a strictly luxury item for the high income brackets. But automob- ile dealers weren't afraid to ap- pcal to the millions rather than than the hundreds. and the results are economic history."

None. however. reported any, experiences indicating that credit for furs was any riskier than for other items. One store that has re-. cently given somewhat more play; to its credit facilities in Russekal Fifth Avenue. The store, according- to Harold Russek. executive vice. president. has long had an easyy payment plan, and has mentioned it in ads from time to time. The frequency of the mentions has in- creased, but it is still done dis-. creetly, with the emphasis of the” promotion always on the fur.
