Sealskins Are Very
Good This Year j
—
# WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. (A1) —
Sealskins will be better than ever
this season because the war passed
the Pribiloffs by.
Philip B. Fouke, head of the St.
Louis concern which processes
and sells 90 percent of the world’s
seaskins, said today the govern
ment’s 1946 catch—which will go
on sale this month—as “the lave
I'jest fur ever.”
^ Confering with Interior Depart
ment officials on preparations for
the semi-annual public auction to
be held at St. Louis Oct. 21, Fouke
told a reporter:
"Our seal crews, who have re
cently returned from Alaska,
found no crippled or injured ani
mals, or other indication that any
bombs ever had been droped on or
near their habitat.”
The harvest this year was 64,523
skins, which will make fewer than
} 10,000 coats. Last year’s skins
brought an average of $87 each.
