mink unit business promises affordable luxury fur coats
An enterprising New Yorker Wallace Turner offers a plan to own a matching mink coat for 400 dollars by purchasing a unit of live minks and boarding them at his Goshen New York ranch. Over about three years the minks breed, pelts are harvested, and costs are recouped through pelts and rents, creating a low cost path to a coat valued over 1000 dollars in traditional channels.
