OF INTEREST TO
FUR DEALERS!
i i
_ j
■10XES BRING HIGH PRICES.”
SAYS AN EXPERT EUR
BUYER
Through the courtesy of oue of
the foremost fur dealers in Ameri
ca, Mr. A- B. Shubert, president of
A- B. Shubert, Inc-, Chicago, U. S'
A. (the largest house in the world
dealing exclusively in American raw
furs) we take pleasure in quoting
an accurate report of conditions ex
isting in the American raw fur
markets and a pudiction of tile
future for the leading articles
Mr- Shubert says: Notwithstand
ing the European war, the war talk
at home and the unceasing ef-1
forts of a great many large manu- 1
facturers to depress the market, j
the unusual large collection of
northwestern furs has been market
ed a’t a much Higher price than th.:
trappers and dealers could reason- j
abiy expect- It is really remark-j
able how well our western market
has stood up under the pressure of
the adverse conditions surrounding
it- Stocks in the hands of dealers
in the primary markets are small!
and small collectors and dgalers in j
the country are practically sold out.
Receipts at all primary markets are
large for this time of the year
Should business with our manufact
urers be as good this fall as they
anticipate it will be from the quan
tity of early orders that they are
now receiving, they will find no
difficulty in disposing of the entire'
output of their factories and will]
be obliged to come into the market
for further purchases of raw ina-1
ferial
It is impossible for one to say ]
which has been the best selling‘ar-;
ticle this season Every article
seemed to have friends- However.1
foxes seem to be the most active,
with lynx a close second. The low
price of some articles attracted
purchasers, while in the case of oth
er furs it seems as if the higher
the price was lifted the more buy
ers there were for them and the1
better the buyers liked them
They all want some kind of a ]
fox. The demand for long haired j
furs is the fad and fancy of the !
day. Fox is not a serviceable fur.!
everybody knows that, but it don't
stop the demand or the price. Some
day they will take a drop. Today ]
red, cross, white, silver and black
and blue fox bring record prices.
The demand is here, and may stay
all winter. They make very at
tractive articles and sell extreme
ly well. The adies want them re
gardless of the fact of their wear
ing cfualities. Foxes are the fash
ionable article of the day, and that
alone establishes the price. Any old
fox will do, but it must be fox.
Marten—Alaska and far northern
collection of marten are selling very I
freely &nd we are of the opinion
that the demand will continue thru
out the- summer and fall. The west
ern marten or the light-furred skins i
are in about the same class as mink
This class of marten has a few
friends. “Shubert” is one of them
We have always carried an ex- !
tremely large quantity of this sec- I
tion marten, and have done it j
cheerfully. Manufacturers have
wori :J them in the past, and some
one will get them started again on
the upgrade.
Mink—Sorry to say we cannot;
see a bright spot in the market for j
mink. They will come back some
day, but that is an indefinite time j
At present they are extremely bard
to sell at the prevailing low price
They say “every clog has his day”
and “the cats have the night ” The
mink don’t seem to cut in on eith
er, night or day. “Shubert” likes j
’em, have made money on them in
the past and will stick to 'em jusi
the same, win or lose.

HOW TO SCARE A BURGLAR
OUT OF HIS WIT.
“Hands up!”
Bang!
Ding! Dong! Dong-ong-ong-ong!
Bang!
Th s i_ the principle of a new
burglar alarm devised by an invent
or to rout bank robbers and hold-up
men. It’s all a little, inconspicuous
box holding a small fire gong and
five 38-caliber cartridges
Mr. Robber comes into the store
or bank. Hands go up all around,
but somebody leans against a desk
or slops on a loose board and the
noise bombardment lets loose. The
cartridges are fired at intervals of
ten seconds.
Any number of small wires lead
from the bandit alarm with push
button terminals- The' buttons are
concealed beneath a rug under a
window Tor the house thief or be
hind a panel "or back of a drawer
in a «dcsk in a store or office
The robber steps on the rug or
bo merchant leans against the false
I rawer. Noise is infinitely more an-j
noying to him than bullets, so he
may well wish himself in a Ver
dun trench when the alarm is re
leased
The principle of the alarm is
psychological
It is a well-known scientific fact
that a robber, keyed up to a high
nerve tension, is thrown off his
mental balance by any unusual hap
pening.
This is true of the household rob
ber and doubly true of the holdup
man, who conducts his campaigns
of crime face to face with his vic
tim.
In your home; the discharge ‘of
live shots and the ringing of an
alarm bell would send a robber
helter-skelter for cover. He would
dec ignominiously—any place to get
.way from the dreaded noise
Should he hold up a bank, how
ever, and in the midst of his rob
bery hear the shots and the bell
it is extremely likely that he would
be paralyzed with fear and stand
rooted to the spot, for a moment at
least.
That would be time enough for
the bank officials, who habitually
are armed, to draw their own weap
ons and make the robber surrender.
LUCKY AND UNLUCKY THINGS,
(From Answers.)
“Lucky” and “unlucky” have come
to be applied to gathering blossoms,
to horseshoes, to the color of hair,
to your manner of “saying things”
in a word, to every possible event
in life. It is unlucky to “have a
dead blossom”; it is unlucky to go
out with your “shoe laces untied”
—the latter we naturally believe:
it is unlucky to bring “hawthorn
blossoms within the house”; it is
“lucky to hear the cricket-”
The latter is, of course, supposed
to bring luck into the house.
Very lucky it is to find a spider
on your clothes; it is called a money
spinner in many parts of the coun
try.
Feather beds should not be turn
ed on a Sunday. If your teeth
grow widely apart you will be a
traveler. If you have a mole on
your back you will have money by
the sack. On the other hand, a
mole at t^e base of the neck shows
that “you will be banged-”
C’:v uv, Napoleon, Bismarck and i
others were not above the superstl- j
tion of “lucky” and “unlucky” days- j
Thursday was the “unlucky” day j
of Henry VIII., of his son Edward, i
and of his daughters Mary and ;
Elizabeth- Isn’t it strange that
they all should have died upon this
day? But it is a fact
Anyhow, what is luck?
— -*-:—
Several certain backyards need a
“raking-over.” A lot of rubbish, tin
cans and what not are conspicuous,
to say the least
