" "' Greg Lmscombe, Program Manager for the LOUlslana Department of Wtldhfe and Flshenes, says that 630,117 pelts were harvested throughout the en~ tlre Ulllted States m 1985 and 1986, with a total value of $11,139,487. The price per pelt vanes wlth the reglOn, but can range from a low of $14 per pelt to $52 for a pnme pelt. The price depends upon two factors-quahty, based on densIty and gloss; and col~ our, based on current fashlOn trends. Beaver coats are sold m "shlrred" and "long~ hatred" vanetles. Accordmg to Douglass May, co~ owner of Sullivan~ Rollms Furs m Grosse Pomte Woods, the shmed beaver IS one of hls three top sellers. Hls partner, Peter Petcoff, notes that long~hatred beaver IS currently enJoymg a comeback. Attnbutmg to ItS populanty IS ItS affordability, durabtlity, warmth and beauty. "We sell these pnmanly to the young career woman, or as a second coat for the mature woman." Joseph Roberts, assIstant vlce~presldent of mer~ chandlsmg for Dlttnch Furs m DetroIt and Bloomfield Htlls, prophesles that the fashion favourite for the Nmettes wlll be shirred beaver furs dyed m colours ,C/({lIIcII .. !kllirzyrl/(Y .

All agreed that the pnce of beaver coats vanes with the type of pelt, the style of coat and the colour of the fur. Beaver coats are durable, affordable and not nearly as fraglle as some other long~haIred furs. According to the American Fur Industry, thls season's fad for jungle pnnts and alllmal patterns has spawned a lively revlval of mterest m the man~made verSlOns, especmllY leopard, tiger and other spotted cats.

As a result, the consumer market is hot for furs ... everyone wants the look. Bes1des, the fakes have been around for at least twenty years, and sales of real furs have still chmbed consistently. Fakes are fad~ d1sh and fun; plus, they're mexpen~ Slve enough for many people to own. " On the quest10n of eth1cs, Ms. Blye contmues. "The mdustry has long been an act1ve supporter of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Spec1es (CITES), which forbIds any trade In plants and ammals that wildhfe experts beheve to be threatened.

So, 1f you're eager to vamp It up in leopard or make the party scene m tiger, you'll Just have to settle for a fake." Blye pomts out the 1rony of the sItuation. Fakes are made from Oll~based synthetic f1bers, wh1ch have an adverse effect on the envi~ ronment when they are manufac~ tured; they do not recycle easIly. "Real fur, on the other hand, 1Sa natural resource that does not pol~ lute the atmosphere. It 1Salso a re~ newable resource.

The story begins at the turn of the century, when many ImmIgrants Journeyed to DetroIt from Greece; they soon dIscovered that the CIty held no Greek Or- thodox Church In whIch they mIght worshIp. In 1911, they estab- lrshed the AnnuncIatIon Church on Broadway near the center of the city, the fIrst Greek Orthodox Church In the state of MIchIgan. As years passed, the number of Greeks settlIng on the east sIde of DetrOIt Increased, and the need for a church closer to theIr homes became apparent. They wanted theIr chIldren to attend a church and an afternoon parochIal school whIch would afford them the opportUnIty to learn the Greek language and theIr homeland's nch hIstory. These Greek- Amencans sought approval of the PatrIarch of ConstantInople to develop such a facIlrty, and receIved permIS- SIon to do so. In February of 1930, their fIrst councIl established Assumption Church at ItS general meetIng, held In a nckety Icons assist us wooden structure located at the comer of Hillger and Kercheval that had been a saloon pnor to ProhIbItIon.

For Chuck Muer, that moment came early. As one grandson of the founder of Joe Muer's seafood restaurant m downtown Detroit, people expected h1m to follow his father and brothers into the £trm. Chuck Muer grew up m that venerable famtly mstitutIon, workmg at the popular estabhshment during his school years. He took a different road, however, upon leavmg college, choosing a sales pos1t10n w1th IBM. Muer indicated that he felt there were sufficient family members aVailable to carryon the tradmon, and that Joe Muer's restaurant didn't reqUlre his services.

"They felt that, if they were \ to successfully operate the Pont~ chartrain, they had to beef up the Muer management on the prem~ Ises, and so they asked me," sald Muer. Chuck became mvolved m the lease negotiations with the Gershensons, and enjoyed a good relatlonshlp with them. The deal, however, fell through. "My dad's health had started to go, so he pulled the whole thing back. He didn't want to rIsk it. He felt that the hotel busmess was an entlrely different type of busmess that he didn't really understand, and he knew that his heart condi- tion would only worsen." Muer continued, "I had al~ ready told my boss at IBM of my plans, some months earlier. I was hanging there; I talked to the Ger~ shensons and convmced them that I could raise the capital and put together a team." Chuck Muer successfully pled his case; With the Gershensons' support, he formed a corporation "'" m the fall of 1964, orgamzing "v.J. ~, twelve shareholders at the outset.

"It started w1th the premise that we wanted it to be a great sea- food restaurant, d1stmctly different from-not comparable to-Joe Muer's." What did Chuck Muer's father thmk of his son's independence? "He was proud of me," Muer thoughtfully offered. "They have always been concerned that, what- ever we do, we do not harm the fam1ly reputation. The whole 1dea of the Muer reputatton has been a dnving thing m my gut all these years. In no way was Jhere any- thing that I could ever do to bring anything but h1gh honour to the Muer name. You have got to con- sider that, if my name was not Muer, I would never have had this opportumty. " The architecture of Chuck Muer's restaurants have earned then own reputatlOn. We asked about his mtentional use of ar- ch1tecture as an 1mportant element of the dmmg experience.

The structure, which cele~ brated ItS centenmal a couple of years ago, was bUllt as a symbol of Ann Arbor's wealth and matunng, from an economlC standpomt.

He felt that, by restonng the structure, he would be puttmg something back into the commumty. The Muer orgamzatlon qUlckly realized that the archltec~ tural Importance of the bUllding enhanced the ambiance of the dm~ ing experience for patrons.

On the other side were luxurious apartment houses, forbld~ ding in appearance, but softened by the friendly smiles of the doormen as we passed. It was an ambling kind of day; the sun was shming, but stratus clouds cut the glare and formed spontaneous images that changed with each of our steps and our conversation.
