FUMIGATION FUR STORAGE
We've been Washington's Master Furriers since 1888. We have
the respect for fine skins that makes no compromises. That's
why we chose the fumigation method of fur storage. It is the
most satisfactory, the most scientific method known today.
Check these reasons—why:
f Fumigation kills all moth life present in your furs, but preserves
Y Hte softness and natural oils of the pelts.
/ There is no chance for larvae to revive and begin destroying
Y your furs after you take them out of storage, because fumiga*
Hon actually kills them.
/ Experimental laboratories of the Government indorse and com
Y mend the fumigation method.
