Has anyone else heard of this brand of furs?- Willner's of Atlanta GA? I found this vintage fur and I am 99% sure it is real, but I cannot find anything about this brand.

I did some digging on Newspapers.com and found this to be Willner Fur Company. The founder, Ralph L Willner, passed in 1941, and that was the last year I was able to find any newspaper ads, and those were for fur storage. The earliest reference I found to Willner's Furs is 1922. See attached ad from December 3, 1922 newspaper:

And this one is a 1941 newspaper ad, note the slogan matches what's on your label:
