I sell, St. Petcrsburg, Miclr, offers the finest dark mink pelts. There are also many other ranches that are probably well known to our breeders that have collections in the above sale. Mr. Varan concludes by calling for an industry wide effort to' focus attention on furs other than mink. Such a unified campaign he feels, will supplement mlriik sales rind insure the continued fashion: dominance of mink. Among thci suggestions he makes is that Ill8I trade should place models wearing; furs at leading social and sportsi functions just to show womenl how well non-mink furs really! look.
