Mink Farming

Women's z Wear Daily, New York, in its issue of April 29th had a very intriguing article en- titled "Trade Ponders Vital Question: How long will Mink Lead? (For ,how long will mink continue to dominate the fur in- dustry? Will the "Era. of Mink" pass just as other fur eras have passed? These are probably the most vital questions of the day for the fur industry. Below is the first series of articles discussing these questions. ) When black dyed muskrat (then Hudson seal) and silver fox dominate the fur scene, it probably seemed to most fur man at the time that these furs would forever retain- their dominance.

"Era. ”together with muskrat, and of-

fallacious now to believe that mink will forever hold its dom- inant pwltion and continue to throw into the discard practically all other furs." This is the view of Reuben Papert, of the firm of Papert-atrasbum. fur brokers. Mr. Papert. in an interview. set forth the historical back-ground of the fur industry with a view to lea.rning from past events how to throw light upon or forecast the future. Prior to World War i, he pointed out, Europe was the great- est consumer of furs, while the United States was lmprtant main- ly as an exporter of furs. After the first great war, the United States became more important as a fur consumer and by the 10201 was outdistancing Europe in this regard. Since then, the United states has remained the world's foremost consumer of furs, with Europe a poor second.

”Beglnnlng in the late 19201," said Mr. Papert, Oat one time or another in the United States some fur or furs seemed to dominate all others in popularity. We had

the Era of Hudson Eeal' when black-dyed muskrais were the backbone of the American fur industry. This fur enjoyed so lnuch popularity and was so com- paratively expensive ihat the sealine or seal-dyed rabbit be-

(name very important and also very profitable as a cheap substitute."

Mr. Papert also recalled the "Era of Silver Fox," when a wo- man was completely out of fash- ion lf she did not possess a sil- ver fox as a trimming on a cloth coat or as a cape or scarf. The broker pointed out that sil- l6l' fox was in such demand that led fo:; was dyed and pointed to imitate it. Norway, the United States, and Canada produced an- nually about 1.000.000 silver foxes which averaged about 540 to 550 a skin. he said. "This annual out- put was profitably traded ill and consumed." he commented. "At present, annual world production is down to about 150.000 skins, and the average price is abut s10 to 815 per skin. The period from the late 1920's to the middle 1930's Ml: Papert terms that "Era of Ful-

Trimmings."

"It was a lollg alld profitable

decade as all levels of the trade

do well when trimmings are pop- ular," he said. "Chinese dogskins, wolf, red fox, lynx, white fox. persiall lam-b-all ful's-- were ill

Of this total, about 12,000,000 fall and winter coats are produced for women and misses. Thus about 1,800,000 cloth coats were fur as compared to about 9,600,000 in

We arrived in New Orleans on the morning of March 5th, 1953, at the Louisville and Nashville Railway Station on Canal and Wells Streets, which is right at the steamship docks. in New Or- leans Harbour. on the Mississippi River. We went at once across the city. to Union Station and after breakfast took D. Gray Line tour about the modern and ancient city of New Orleans.

We learned that the lowest area is near the centre of the city and that it is five feet below the Gulf of Mexico and 20 feet below the level of the Mississippi as it flows by in its winding course. From the centre the land rises in every direction towards the outer edge like a. saucer.

Many of the streets were former canals and of these, Canal street, now the main thoroughfare of the city, runs from Liberty Place, Ends Plaza. and the Canal street Docks, directly through the heart of the city.

0 I

Canal street. which separates New Orleans from the Old French Quarter, is said to be the Widest business thoroughfare in America. One can well believe this as there are wide sidewalks on either side, then two wide four lane highways. These again are lined on the aide toward the centre with ornamen- tal posts that carry clusters of large shaded light globes. that ii- luminate the whole street area. The centre of Canal Street is re- served for four street car tracks, that run over the great covered drainage sewer, which now re- places the former open canal.

In crossing at a brisk walk, we had to wait at the second high- way for the traffic lights to change a second time to green. Canal Street seemed to be more than 200 feet wide. It is the cen- tre every sprlng of the great Mar- di Gras celebration, ”marked by fantastic parades and masked balls."

The Mississippi River flows past New Orleans from east to joy the beauty and Drestige of wearing mink. No: Women of means and high fashion will not buy mink once the masses of wo- men wear it. 2.

No: We are at the crest of the mink cycle, and that cycle will turn downward just as it has for other funs, and other articles of fashion. Women can tire of mink look and texture. Also, other furs like persian la.m'.l and nluskrat are within the price bracket of the masses of women and are also suitable lOl' small pieces.

Mr. Papert admits that histor- ical parallela are sometimes mis- leading, and implies that var- lnus factors may place mink in the position of being less vul- nerable to fashion cycles than other furs. However, he concludes: "Even the pro-mink advocates :- gree that the high fashion of mink would be more easily main- l-ained and prolonged if some other furs could enjoy fashion popularity. thus creating! the diversification which the industry now lacks."

Naval Repair Base, the Army. Stores and Dry Docks. Because the town was located about the, crescent shaped bend, when found-I ed in 1118, it was nick-nanlcd "the Crescent City."

This area called Vieux Cam-, pronounced VEE-YUH Call- RAY, literally translated mr-nus "Old square," was once the com- plete walled-in city. It lies be- tween the river and Ralrlpnri Street and stretches from Canal Street to Esplanade Avenue.
