Article Abstract:
The nature classes and grading of thirty fur animals forms the basis of this historical analysis of fur usage and its effect on business in Europe and the United States. Prominent breeding organizations are referenced. Comparisons are drawn based on manufacturing, distributing and retailing roles. Several related issues are examined: valuation, damage depreciation, insurance, claim adjustment, salvage and casualty loss. Tables of furs listing their relative wearabilities are featured. Tables of depreciation percentages according to wearability groups are featured. Such calculation is useful in determining the sound value of garments. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rules have been revised four times for the fur industry since 1928; each time regulations against fraudulent marketing were strengthened. The possibilities and methods of saving damaged pelts are briefly reviewed.
