So great is the surplus that Best & Co. is offering mink coats for little girls beginning at size 3, Mark Cross is selling mink-lined raincoats for men, and Manhattan Furrier Georges Kaplan is even proposing that mink be used for wall-to-wall carpeting at $95 per square...

Rarely had there been so many big, tough, fast linemen to choose from, or such a wealth of sticky-fingered pass receivers.

This job takes some 40 or 50 hours a week, but painting is his true love and he devotes his weekends to it. He works fast (most of the ninety or so paintings in this exhibit were done since June), but would welcome a more relaxed pace. Trained in all media, he makes use of whatever he gets his hands on--canvas, beaverboard, masonite, linoleum, oils, watercolors, acrylics...
