TWO MEDFORD (OHEGOIf) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, September , 1958 Fur Designer Gives Advice For Women By ELIZABETH TGOMEY United Press Correspondent New York U.R) Youre Ju5t an old-fashioned girl if you still daydream of drifting around in cold weather smothered in luxury furs. This assurance comes not from a husbands' protective league but from a woman whose honesty can scarcely be doubted, since it is her business to sell luxury furs to rich people. She is as anxious to keep wom en from wearing too much fur as she is for them to wear any fur at all. "No woman said Mrs. Anna Maximilian Potok. "should look smothered in furs." She wouldn't feel smothered either, the fur industry in gen eral decided in recent years. The light touch, both on the scales and in the design, is one of the most important features of cur rent fur styles. Common Sense Approach Mrs. Potok discussed her com mon sense approach to uncom mon purchases such as chinchilla capes while women tried on furs in her carpeted show room. "I am very short myself," she said. "I wear only a full length fur coat or a very short jacket. I never wear anything three quarter length." She says flatly "no" to a cus tomer if she thinks the woman is about to buy a fur that looks too big on her. She calmly orders a ed little since she and her broth- Firm Announces Contest Winners A chance for a national title and a free trip to New York has been won by Miss Roberta Wil lett. 12, of 411 Palm street, and Miss Romell Fossen, 14, Apple gate, who last Friday were named first-round winners in the Singer $85,000 junior dress making contest.

Both had learned the fur busi ness from their father and grand father in Warsaw, Poland. Can Be Colored "Furs shouldn't be bulky and shouldn't be old looking," she said. They can be colored, however, which is one of the few new ad ditions to Mrs. Potok's ideas of durable elegance. She now makes coats in red or blue or beige Persian lamb. "I start from scratch," she ex plained in her accented English, describing the part she played in creating a fur coat. That means designing the first pattern in canvas. Her working day, longer and more strenuous than that of most women in far less luxuri ous surroundings, often includes telephone orders for mink coats from customers who talk about adding to their "wardrobes" of furs. These are the women ;who can afford to pioneer the latest Paris styles. Asked if she envisioned any important new fur styles, tested first by her customers, Mrs. Potok cautiously murmured "capes." "I am making many capes of all lengths," she said. It is too soon to predict, she added, whether capes will replace fur stoles in the Christmas wishes of many women. UP.
