Plush Coais
Finer and far more de
sirable than all-fur gar
ments at equal money
are the exquisitely beau
tiful and luxurious coats
of super fine plush or
velour that we show at
$85 to $150 'a
Somo of the plush coats
are almost as rich as
real seal.. Those of ve
lour and velvet are of
the finest quality. And
affording greater lati
tude in designing and
tailoring there is a rich
ness of fashion unob
tainable in all-fur, with
a vast difference in the
price.
