Van de
Streek Furs – on Thursday, August 20, 1953, Van de Streek
Furs announced their opening. This company specialized in genuine fur coats.
They were located at 108 4th Avenue SE…. across from what is now
M&H Gas. Times were different and women and some men wore genuine fur
coats. Van de Streek Furs claimed to have a vault where they could store up to
2,600 fur coats at a constant temperature. They also had a showroom equipped
with special lighting so the customer could examine the fur under various
lighting situations. Free gifts to be drawn for at the opening included a mink
cape, mink scarf and a Kolinski scarf….
