MAN WINS TRAPPING PRIZE Mathew Jones, well kno wn trapper of Green Mtn., is a winner of the Daily Award for- correct pelt handling in the 18tff Na tional Fur Show conducted by the Raw Fur Marketing Service of Sears Roebuck aiid Company, Jones’ carefully handling Muskrat pelt-brought him one of the' $5.00 Daily awards as a result of its being judged one *of the three best . handled skins among all pelts received at Sears Raw Fur Marketing Station in Philadelphia on Friday, December 27th, and in addition entitles Jones to consideration for one of the major awards, including $1,000.00 First .Award, to be selected at the final jud ging, which will be held in ' April. Correct pelt handling— the prime purpose of the Fur Shows —has proved to be of vital importance to trappers due to the fact that millions of dollars were formerly wasted thro ugh * careless, incorrect skinning, stretching 4 and drying o f furs— which could readily have j gone into the trappers’ pockets instead of being, cast to the winds. Well— 1 prepared pelts command! more-money @ t ffan poorly j handled ones—thus in creaisng not alone the ear nings of the trapper, but the value of our country’s natural resources. Sears Fur Show was established to stress the point and, thus, to encourage correct pelt handling. j This season’s 18th Na tional awards again total ! $7,590.00 in cash, including 918 daily $5.00 awards, ten ; major awards amounting to sl,9so.oo—topped by an eagerly sought-after SI,OOO First Atvard—plus, twelve sectional awards for com plete fur shipments ag gregating SBOO.OO.
