Show Citizen Briefly Reports New York Trip By R. L. Ashby Imagine 10,000 silver fox furs being offered for sale in one day! But the auctioneer couldn't talk fast enough, so they got three to do the job. But when it was over, they were all sold, can you imagine that? Over a million dollars taken in for furs in three days? No little event. No wonder the department of agricul-tur agricul-tur at Washington D. C. sent moving picture men to the New York Auction Company's sales, January 20, to take pictures of the sales and of the fur houses along Seventh Avenue. The fur center of New York is located along Seventh Avenue from 25th to 30th Street and in these shops you can find furs of every description on earth. But the silver fox is the gem of furs. It was to attend the Auction Co.'s special Silver Fox sale that the writer visited New York. A few nights be-j lore the sale there were 1500 silver fox pelts stolen from the show rooms. But fortunate for the fox ranchers all were insured. While in the big city, I found time to visit the egg district and saw the Utah Poultry Producers plant, Gottfried Gott-fried & Marshall, Nye & Nissen, all of which are very anxious for Utah eggs, and would like many times the amount they now get. The weather on the Atlantic coast was mild and pleasant, although bracing. brac-ing. Fall grain showed nice and green. Of course New York of itself is interesting. in-teresting. The greatest city on earth, with its surging millions, its sky scrapers and big business, its docks and shipping, its residental districts and it slums, its crowded subways and whirling noises, elevated railways, jostling taxies and buses, Its wonderful wonder-ful shopping districts and upper Broadway show district, magnificent railway terminals and tunnels, and countless other wonders. One cannot help being touched and quickened by the contact of all this, and yet made to feel glad for the West and a home. |
