[Jacob-list] Pelt and fiber processing

[Robin Lynde]

I have used Bucks County (Pennsylvania) and Stern's (Wisconsin)  with good 
luck. However, there was a big fire at Stern's last month. They are in the 
process of rebuilding, but it will be a couple of months or more before they 
are up and running again.
