VABN '-"WASHINGTON lt-Any day now .the little woman Is uketjr to cast ;longinf eyes at a fur neckpiece or a mink coat, for Augun inooth of bi fur tale. - tf she has the money and U la U mood to buy, its a good Idea to go ahead became (he's likely to get better price, higher qual ity and the latest siyiet in August, : Federal Trade Commission ex ;pert reporti. The expert. Harvey H. Hannah !he It chief of FTC's wool, fur ; and- flammable fabric! division, aid Dew goods are on hand, be ' cause there is 'little carryover of I stocks in the fur business that now amounts to about 400 million dol lars year at the retail level. f Hannah noted, too, that if the .lady buys she is pretty certain to jet what she warns ana pays iot. !' That is because of the Fur products Labeling Act which was lust four years old on Aug. I. As tManah put it, "this act has helped 'bring both common tense and prosperity back to the industry." . i- "Until the act was passed." he IloIA a reporter, "there was in- rreasini confusion six' doubtful r dealing within the industry rhiaflv throe 'i false advertising .'misbranding of fun and fictitious "labeling of ferments. The sharp Zi$ . were shaking confidence of ;otnn in buying rars. 'fW Tears PeUdaf . 3 "Now, with four years of potlc--big by the FTC, customers can Hcount on finding in reputable fur "outlets exactly what has been ad IvrrtHed for sale. There are still -some -cases of misrepresentation, ','cL course, but the FTC it quick to crack down on unscrupulous ..manufacturers or dealers." - Hannah said the biggest forward Hstep in the four-year-old law was -.Inst Calling for bonsfide fur label ling. He uid this :elped to wipe 'out the biggest source of misrep--resentatlon. By direction of Con Caress the FTC came up with a tiame guide giving the true Eng lish names of XI fur-bearin ani mals. Z Unta 1953 yon couldnt know exactly what kind of fur yon were I getting because these XI names -wer-j translated into as many as Itoo different descriptions of motl nonexistent animals. ; . ' For instance, if the wife or girl 'friend had gone in to buy a Bal .Ue black, brown, red or white fox what would the be getting? Dyed rabbit. , ' Dyed KakUt - - And, U it had been Coney leo "fiard, electric beaver or French .seal again dyed rib bit. Or - French chinchilla, moskin ermine -or Russian leopard still dyed rab bit. . ( Hannah said there were M dlf- -ferent names conjured up for rab- bit alone, and if you wanted to be confused runner: Chinese wolf, Hanchurlan fox -and Belgium lynx were limply "dyed dog and i French lynx was -dyed wildcat ' Blue Japanese wolf, China bear. -French wolf and glraffi kid all twere dyed goat. And so it went. - "By the label yon shall know IHnem," Hannah said of fur gar Jinentl. The new law required that .each garment bear label giviog tbe. exact name of the fur, the last I process applied to the fur such ai "dyed muskrat," the country lot origin, the manufacturer's or store's model number and the store's name. 'Other Petals It alto specified among other tthinfs that: Advertising should be free from false or over-glamourized repre- sentations which have a tendency to deceive; J False or fictitious ."regular" prices should not be used to mis rrepresent the savings claimed for J-purchasers; J The dealer should give the nur- - chaser a factual invoice disclosing 'exact data as a means of tracing ny misrepresentation; and Furriers should keep complete records to prove that the prices claimed were correct, whether the .fur was second-hand or pieced ana oiner details. As one Precaution. Hanah t .anyone purchasing a fur coat or Pother fur piece on a "layaway f plan" paying to much down with 'the right to claim the . article plater-should see to it that the garment It stamped with a name vor number of the purchaser's choosing under the lining and on (.the skin to make identity certain later. He said reputable dealers Swill be glad to do this. ?' And, he said, if you suspect , there is something awry with the J deal: "Call the FTC. That't what we are here for." fMcKay Busy1 ;In Southwest Oregon Drive 7 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ' Democrats were making head "j line with their National conren Cjtinn In Chicago Wednesday while Republican candidates In Oregon Continued their campalcning.
