PERSONAL.
Dear Mr. Collector:
What does an American citizen need to do when he goes to Europe and takes a perfectly good fur coat purchased at Gunther’s with him and wants to get it back into the country on returning without being subject to arrest, fine, imprisonment and disgrace?
I am likely to make a hurried trip to London pretty soon and as they say it is rather cold on the water just now, I want to take a fur coat with me and be sure of getting it back home again.
Your advice will be very much appreciated.
