You could talk to the gentleman there and maybe, you know, so I went downstairs and gentleman very nicely say yes, but thank you, but goodbye.

So I was, I literally two, three days before I had to go back to Paris.

I go to this restaurant, which was in the fur district in New York, which in those days was so colorful, a lot of little Jewish restaurants in corner streets and so on.

And there was one called Traders.

And it was like a saloon, Billy.

You know, you go in, you know, the doors would open like this.

You go in and the women were passing by, you know, with, you know, sandwich, pastrami sandwiches and gefilte fish and whatever.

And I'm sitting there with a broker of my father who was buying the skins.

And I said...

I mean, I'm going back, you know, I can't find anything.

And the man introduced me.

He said, you know, let me talk.

A gentleman passed by in front of us and said, you know, meet Gilles and so on.

And the man said to me, maybe you should go back up.

There is a place called Elizabeth Arden on Fifth Avenue.

And if you, there's a gentleman there, his name is Jerry Solovey.

And if you go, you'll see on the second floor, they sell fashion.

But the mannequins are a little bit like this.

You know, they're not too, you know, it's not really doing so well.

Maybe, maybe you never know.
