Nome Aug 9 1915 Mr. Harry L George St. Joseph, MO Dear Sir Your letter to Mrs. Wanger was handed me some time ago fro reply. I am in the Curio business as you will see by my card and maintain a place in LA where I'll be this winter. We handle everything they make from a kyack (skinboat) 15 feet long, fur parkaks (coats), dolls, mucklucks (boots), fur slippers, floor rugs and mats, rabbit and fox skin robe and raw furs, ivory raw and made up into every conceivable thing from a tiny kewpie to a cribbage board 3 feet long, ivory paper knives from 25 cts to 1.00, individualized butter spreaders 25 cts, buttons, napkin rings, etc. Their ancient handiwork consists of ivory harpoon togle [sic] heads, spear points, Labretts, and some times we get an ivory doll or (tsetjek?) but they are getting scarce and we hardly dare (unreadable) pieces. Respect (unreadable) Chilberg
