It is not generally appreciated what can be done in the way of renovation and re-styling of Fur Coats, Necklets, etc,, in addition to straight-out repairs. The firm of Pattison Ede specialise in this important work, and through the vears have built up a very high reputation. One reason is that they have a fixed policy of undertaking no work of this nature unless perfect results can be assured. They have an excellent selection of matching skins and accessories and will not only repair, re-line, and renovate any gari ment, but their experts stylists can, if you wish, restyle your coat in the newest mode. Why not take in that coal that you particularly treasure to Pattison Ede and discuss the matter of remodelling with them? It is also as well to remember the possible difficulty in the future of replacing a really good fur coat. Pattison Ede charges are moderate, and their work, which is carried out on the premises, is guaranteed.—3.
