ADDED FUR. One of the women modeling her winter coat on page 82 adds a fur muff and collar to her outfit for this photograph. Horace Colley, son of Walter and Lulu Colley (see image LB115), worked as a furrier in Lincoln before and after serving in the U.S. Army as a lieutenant during World War I. Perhaps some of these portraits display his handiwork.<br />
