The Bunny Business Is Booming With Easter Four Weeks Away
New York (U.P.)—The bunny business is booming already, with Easter still four weeks away.
City parents grab every chance to give children a touch of country life, one expert figures. He said this accounts for the $10,000 worth of live Easter bunnies sold in Manhattan every season.
play at Macy's, though the store lets the children look, not buy.
"Bunnies are the biggest sellers baby chicks next and then the ducks," said Gabriel Krakaur, who personally accounts for about 2,000 Manhattan Easter rabbits via the poultry company he and his brother operate on Long Island.
There's nothing phony about a city dweller's vagueness when his child asks, "Where does the Easter bunny come from?"
"We give them away after Easter, but it's too much trouble to sell live animals," explained John Reeves, assistant buyer in the boys' shop. "We have enough trouble substituting ducks between now and Easter." Ducks are the fastest growing of the pre-Easter poultry, so young ones have to be substituted midway in the display season.
Assuming the parent wanted to give an honest answer and started checking—he'd run into a shroud of secrecy.
“Competition,” said Gabriel. “I can say that we have farms raising them for us in New England and as far away as Ohio. It's a pretty good business, you know. A breeder can get a dollar for a four-week-old bunny, which is the right age for Easter.”
Anyway, these mysteriously-appear rabbits already are on dis-
of secrecy. Say, "I bought it at Gimbel's for instance, the only large department store which sells the live animals before Easter. The store's pet shop gladly admits that their 500 seasonal bunnies come from the Kraakaur brothers, but the brothers balk at revealing their sources.
Over in one corner of the store's Easter display a lively man-sized bunny cavorted with the children.
"We dress up one of the girls in the store to resemble 'Sonny the Bunny,' our big promotional rabbit," Reeves said. "The kids can sit on her knee and tell her what they want for Easter just like Santa Claus."
"We don't mean to trick the parents into gifts again, like Christmas," the buyer explained.
Presumably, the youngsters aren't supposed to ask for anything besides colored eggs, a little candy and a rabbit or two.
