Fancy Feather Company
Makes Unusual Products
Although featherbeds are
no longer in vogue, feathers
are still bting used for many
purposes. Some of the unusual
products made by the Fancy
Feather company are "blos
soms" for ends of pews, ar
rangements for reception ta
bles, headpieces, and Pru Fru
birds.
A Central Point woman,
Mrs. Darrell Shepherd, 5238
Gebhard road, and Mrs. Gene
Fallcsen, Crabtree, Ore., filed
business papers for the com
pany when they were neigh
bors at Crabtree. When the
Shepherds moved 250 miles
away, the partners continued
their business via the post
office.
Feathers Accumulate
Their hobby started four
years ago as a result of their
husbands' fondness for hunt
ing, the resulting accumula
tion of feathers, and the
feather hat fad.
They have furnished cor
sages and decorations for
four - weddings, a Rainbow
girls' installation, a dance re
cital, an Eagles' convention,
and other social events.
Other products that they
have made from feathers are
corsages, boulonnieres, Christ
mas trees, wreaths, door
Santas, Easter baskets, de
tachable collars.
Some of the feathers that
they have used have been
goose, chicken, duck, pea
cock, white turkey, robin,
blue jay, red wing blackbird,
woodpecker, sparrow hawk,
and pheasant.
Recently a friend invited
them to pluck her flock of
30 geese. After the feathers
arc gathered they are washed
in the washing machine and
dried in the dryer.
. Two items that have heen
recently popular are the
feather collars that can be
worn with collarless dresses
or coats, and the feather "blos
soms" which are being used
for corsages.
Fancy Feather company
products have been placed in
24 states and will be on
display in Canada and Alaska.
Distribution has been aided
by a San Francisco dealer, a
Portland gift show, demon
stration parties, and colored
pictures in a mail order cata
logue from a Longview,
Wash., distributor.
Mrs. Shepherd points out
that feather corsages and deco
rations show little deteriora
tion and can be kept as me
mentos of weddings or other
occasions.
