a family who for many generations
have been furriers of the first class.
All of his Ufe he his been identi
fied with this industry and Is fami
liar with every phase of the busi
ness, the selection of pelts, beauti
ful matching of pelts to make dis

ment on the choice of fur the cus
tomer makes, and twelve months to
pay for It without carrying charges.
The name, Martin Oassner, Is
synonymous with high class furs
and he fully realizes that every
woman's prize possession Is her fur
coat. He also realizes that due to
the origin of fur, technical care
Is essential to Its appearance and
life. To this end he has established
a storage for furs, which has been
patronized by many women owning
furs In Salem, where two complete
seasons of free storage and service
on garments, bought In this new
store, Is given to each customer.
The storage facilitlea In Portland
maintained by Martin Oassner are
superior to anything like it In the
entire Pacific northwest. It Is strict
ly a refrigerated storage room with
genuine Frlgldalre equipment which
eliminates the necessity for spray
ing the garments for protection
and when they are released from
storage there Is no odor about them

thods of keeping their business ac

prices to move the summer furs.

dability in furs and has employed
