Fur Trim Needs Special Care for Coats and Vests
Fur trimmed clothing requires special handling to keep fur looking good. Do not dry clean with fabric. remove detachable fur, including lining, before cleaning. If in doubt consult a furrier to separate cleanings for fabric and fur and consider making trims removable for future care. Good fur lasts longer with proper care and can be restyled later.

Watch Business Buying For Key to 1949 Prices
Iowa State College economist Francis Kutish argues that a 1949 price path hinges on government and business spending. He presents a model with military outlays around 15 billion, predicting no recession if spending matches or exceeds the model, inflation if it exceeds it, and potential recession risk if it falls short. Model figures include business and home building 82 billion, consumer buying 177 billion, government spending 88 billion, disposable income 189 billion, with small changes in foreign sales and 1948 baselines.
