Warmth and Style. "It is the young," according to Furrier Jacques Kaplan, "who are making furs an up-front fashion. They do not want status, just warmth and style." With youth in mind, and to revive a market that dropped 40% in sales between 1947 and 1967, Kaplan branched out into inexpensive furs like mink paw, fitch and squirrel.

His left knee hurts too much for play these days, but he managed to sweat out the final fitting in 85° temperature at the Jets training field...

Mrs. Kennedy did in fact pay a private furrier for her coat long before the visit of the Somalian Prime Minister to this country, and she at no time received any gift of leopard skins from the government of Somali...
