BEAUTIFUL FURS.

I A very line display in Mr W. A. Coli will's windows in High street tempted a "Press" representative inside. In a very short while the interviewer was put in possession of many interesting facts concerning the various line skins which had been made up into highly fashionable fur garments —for Mr Colwill is a man of long experience, a pioneer in he tfur indusi-ty, and he knows where-of lie speaks. "You seem to have an exceptionally large stock, Mr Colwill," suggested the reporter, "so big that you have little rofem for customers." "As for room," replied Mr Colwill, "we find that ladies don't mind a little inconvenience so long as we have a large and well varied stock, and there are no fancy prices to pay. Those flash show-rooms cost the customers quite a bit, you know. "With regard to the stock, very little of it was here two weeks ago. Those coney seal, musquash, and marmot coats only arrived the other day. And they are advanced styles. It goes to show what old England can do when there's a customer with the cash. The Home firm's representative cabled for these goods instead of writing. Result: These handsome furs arrive now, just in time for the Cup, instead of pext February, which is the usual thing. "Yes, their early arrival is being appreciated. Surprising how quickly the ladies have learned these handsome furs are here.y Lovely coat?, aren't they?" "You seem to have done all right ? Oh, yes, fairly well. "You have a fair amount of competition, I suppose?"—Mr Colwill laughed. ■■* "Of course," .he said. "But that doesn't worry me. I haven'.t time to worry about other people. I have a factory with a fine staff of skilled operatives always busy with making furs to order,.or remodelling, for customers, practically from the Three Kings to the Bluff. It's my business to look after them and my customers, selling stylish furs at little money. "That's how I've built this business. That's why it has grown." —6
