The winding tip sale of EMBA dressed mink mutations by the New York Auction Company last week showed a. most successful vendue. The 13,326 Silverblu Pla- tiiiums were 99 per cent sold at an advance of 20 per cent over February levels. Tile top price in the Silverblu Platinums was 545 for males and 82250 for females. A total of M39 Stewart Sllverblu Platinums was reported l00 per cent. sold at a top price for males of S57. and a top of 525.50 for

females. Some 2973 Breath of yS;)llllE.' Silveriiliics were also 100, psi" cent. sold at a 567. top for. males and 3137.50 for females, isilrciiblii Platinunis (IFPSSPCI put on one of the strongest. showings of the neck with an excellent turn- ziicr and eager demand. In the (ll'PSSPd Silverblu Platitiums 84 per cent of the offering brought ill. and tip. The lieaviest. cluster was the 325. to 530. bracket. which accounted for 35 per cent, or the sale; 29 per cent of the sale brouglit from 530 in 535 and 20 D05 f-"I'M lwm -S35. and nip. The geneixii opinion of the buyers in lhc sales room was that the qual. itr of this offering was consid. tr-rably more that of the February icollcction.

l Last. week we had an al'IlClP on the future outlook for mink and pthe author was quite a bit pessim- llsilg. Another article on the some vsubycct appeared in Women's lwiiar Daily recently and it was tivrltteii by Leo. Ruler of Rune; lB!'05.-leadin-; high fashion manu- facturing firm. Mr. Riiier urges the mink ranchers to control the I3l'CdlICil0l1 of poor pelts as one ztlcans of suppressing the re-ap- pearance of the split-skin business.

lln addition he recommends that iii:iiiiifactill'rt's of other furs "pct l'1'3CK1l1E-' and glainourizc your pro- ducts Take a leaf out. of the iniink men." he advises other manufacturers ”I am sure there

dent of the New York 'Auct.on Company. He states that there IS no parallel between mink and other furs which have had brief periods of publicity and then fac- ed from the picture as the fash- ion cycle sviung another way. ”Shall we travel back a. half a century at least?” Mr. Cantor explains. "Mink was then one of the outstanding items in the fur liusincss. Throughout the years there never was sufficient fine quality mink to take care of the demand. I am speaking of the fine Labrador. New England and Northwestern section mink and the and the Alaskan variety of wild mink. There are still millions of women in the United States and throughout the world who have not, as yet. had the privilege of owning mink." he points out. ”We should also remember that. the replacement. phase of mink is ever present. Women who have worn dark mink have turned to li2lliE'.' colors. Those who have had the lizhter colors have return- ed to interest in dark shades. and iti.i.l become interested in new color phases."

He believes that there is stilli unlimited and for the most part untapped possibilities in the use of mink as trimming for cloth and fur garments of all types. Ranchers have not been amiss in naming some of their color phased after precious gems. Truly mink is it jewel in all its colors and will continue to be regarded as such by the consumer. Mr. Can- tor admits that the mink in- dustry is undergoing 3. period of intense conpetition but he be- lieves that the competitive battle is no more fierce than it is in other industries and that a breed- ing out. process may be occurring which will set the mink trade on H. sounder foundation than ever before.

Still another prominent man is Iintcrviewed re the minm era. He is Eugene K. Denton. president of Tailored Women. He Says: "The mink era. will have the same fate as the silver Fox era unless 'articicial market. levels' for pelts are curbed." Mr. Benton claims the auction companies are pri- mainly responsible for this turn of events. He adds, however. that the situation can be easily rec- tified if the auction firms permit skins to sell in 8. free and open market. The single factor that inflates skin prices, according to Mr. Benton. is the permlmion given farmers to buy back their own goods without paying the same commission the legitimate buyer pays. The auction compan- ies, he feels, can do one of two things to make for an equitable situation. If they are going to continue to allow buy-backers. then they have an ethical duty to demand that the shipper meet the commission stipulations that npply to all segments of the trade sincerely anxious to purchase goods.

From his eicperience its A retail- er Mi: Denton says he has found that a top selling factor in furs is the limited supply of the par- ticular fur. If too much mink en- ters the market, he continues, mink will lose its fashion appeal Just as silver fox did. The fur business will be in real trouble then, he adds. because many stores will be heavily stocked with mink garments. He does not feel that new colors will help the mink business very much in the future. It is true. he states. that. the mutation variations have been an important reason for minkis cur- rent poipulai-ity. But, he argues, "we are reaching the point where farmers will ooncentrnte too

By J. A. Cluk, D.Sc. THE SUNSET ROUTE

The Sunset Route from Newl Orleans to Los Angeles was the second transcontinental railroad

built in America. It was completedl January 12th, 1883. The firstl ra,llroad to cross the continent! was known as the Overland Route,l from New York via. Chicago tol San Francisco. The Canadian Pacific Railroad. completed in 1885, was the third triinscontin-i cntal. The Sunset Route passes, through Louisiana. Texas, Neivi Mexico. Arizona and California, a

distance of 2070 miles. It reachesl an elevation of 5,074 feet above, sea level at Paisann, Texas, and

drops to 202 feet below sea level ritp Salton, Caliiomia.

We left New Orleans iifter mid- night and did not see the Missis-5 sippi River Levee near Avondaie,: strongly on developing new colorsi and new shades. I fear. if this happens. we may be faced withl a serious problem in matchingi skins for full length gi1rments."I, He believes other furs should be. pushed at the retail level as a form of self-protection aizniiis: any sharp slump in mink. '

Still another authority writing on the mink era is J. D. Silber- man. a former president of the American Fur Merchatits Associa- tion. Mr. Silberman views the future de-emphasis of mink as stemming from two sources: The first, from the consumer; the second, from within the fur in- dustry itself. His first point is this: The history of all articles in women's styles has been that they reign supreme as long as the quantities are limited and every woman doesn't meet her own gar- ment on the back of every othei woman. Any married man knows that his wife hates to pay a high price for a dress that many of her friends appear in, and which is cooled down in price. This is now occurring in mink.

Mr. Silbermanlii second point is: There is now B. very low turn-,l over profit to all engaged in the mink business. When an entire trade finds that an article is no longer profitable to handle, the article is forced out of style. It is my belief that we have now reached the stage where very few, people are able to show any real profit atthe end of the yearif they restrict their items to mink. On the basis of these two conditions. Mr. Silberman predicts that in the very near future influential cou- turiers will start pushing other furs.

We have iziveri D. resume of these various articles on the Mink Era for the benefit of the mink breed- ers who read this page weekly and endeavor to secure from it the latest available information on that fur. It would appear from the above interviews that a. cer- titin amount of caution will have to be exercised by those who con- tinue to breed mink and erapect it. to be raised on it profitable basis. So far I believe all our ranchers have made money but to continue doing so 9. lot of thought. and good rzinoh care will have to be exercised so that the right types are bred, poorer qunl- ltles eliminated, good feeding me- thods used. plenty of water avail- able and clean nest boxes are a MUST in order to have fine quality pelts.
