Doing some research on this store I found these quotes in an article online:

"It was very important for a woman to have a fur,” recalls lifelong Decatur resident Babs Hazelrigg. “I remember wearing a hat, gloves, dress, and fur just to go to a Junior Welfare noon meeting, or to go shopping downtown.”

“Furs were just part of women’s wardrobes,” adds longtime Decatur resident Mary Ann Groves. “We’d wear them out to dinner, church, cocktail parties. Ladies always had their initials embroidered on the lining, and they’d store their furs in the summer. If the pelt dried out, the coat was ruined.”
