A&P fur in Lawson wont be buying this year.

Be real interesting what happens once season gets under way. I have heard too many rumors to be sure of anything.

A major buyer in that area?
No doubt a lot of buyers across the country will be hurt by NAFA's failure, most that had dealer lots in storage or awaiting sale will either lose that money or have it tied up for a year or two and that has to hurt their ability to purchase new goods. The collecting agents that also buy and ship there are out their furs and have not been paid yet for the May auction if rumors are to be believed.

I asked him if he was caught up in the NAFA deal and he said no. He hadn't any dealings with them for quite a while but didn't give a reason for setting out this year.
