The CZC is looking into the history of our favorite  brown bear. The bear was the well known mascot of Peterborough fur store Lech & Sons Furrier. If anyone has any images or stories about the bear, please contact me morganmavis@thetaxidermyconservatory.com.

To read about the history of the fur store and their well known  bear ambassador, take a gander at an article from the Peterborough Examiner: Bear with us; Wm. Lech and Sons Furriers is closing after 147 years in business, and its famous mascot bruin has left the building. We know where it is.
