Do You Have a
Big Brown Bear's
Hide in Your Home?
Do you have an old moth eaten
Kodiak bear hide in your home?
If you do, do you want to get rid
of it?
People spend thousands of dol
lars to come to Kodiak to meet
up with a live bear. Hundreds
more are spent preserving the
bear’s hide after it is shot. Now a
request has come in for bits of
fur from a Kodiak bear hide.
It is not recommended that you
go out and cut some off a running
bear. This could be fun, but mo;,,
of us like our fun less complicat
ed. There is always the possibility
you may lose some flesh instead
of the bear losing his hide.
Last week we published an
article about a huge Kodiak bear

State may help turn our fabulous

that to have been auctioned
off ^ Seattle last year. Whatever
became of him is not known here.
Nick Lambros, of Seattle, owner
of the bear in question, has sent
a request for some pieces of fur.
He is apparently something of a
taxidermist and specializes in
large specimens. The Kodiak bear,
as large as it is, isn’t big enough
for him. He wants to improve on
nature, and build a bigger one.
Hence the request. His letter is as
follows:
“I am interested in building up
a large Kodiak bear. I have the
frame and most of the fur, but
need a few pieces to fix it up
where people have damaged it. If
you know of any of your friends
who will donate me some pieces
of the skin I will very much ap
preciate it.”
This is probably the same bear
as was mentioned last week. La
dies, you will probably never
have a better opportunity of rid
d,r)g yourself of that obnoxious
bear hide that has been plaguing
you all these years. You can thus
salve your conscience in parting
friend husband from his pridt and
joy—for it’s a good cause. It’ll
be good publicity for Kodiak.
Nick Lambros asks you to write
to him or send the fur pieces to
412 Second Avenue, Seattle, Wash
ington.
