Yeah, saw that earlier, nice article. I don't know them personally but I'm pretty sure they occupy the same building that was "M & M Furs" for a long time. I sold some fur to old man Melvin Fluth (?) back in the late 1980s. I sold a big buck mink to him in Jan of the 1989/90 season for $28. I wonder if I'll ever see that price on a nice wild mink from around here ever again...

Good article, also neat to know that is the old "M&M Furs"
I have several of their old catalogs. When I was young that was the look at and dream catalog.

Worked for Melvin some in the summer months (80s) hauled his stuff to a few conventions and made some of the M&M cage traps for him too.

I used to do business with Kim back when rats and coons had value. It’s a shame that our entire industry is dying.

Melvin was one of the 13 that was a shocker with all the business he did with NR trappers never thought he would get sucked into that along with a few others.
