IF FURS had only their
luxuriousness to recom-
mend them, this would be
no time to buy them! But
they're such sound, long
term investments in health-
guarding warmth, that
every woman who needs a
fur coat is wise to buy one
as lovely and fine as these.
They're picked from an end-
less procession always to be
seen here . . . rich in loveli-
ness, reasonable in cost.
