A total of 36.616 wild mink was 98 percent sold, with prices quot- ed as “very firm.’ The bulk of

fashion in furs might change. The silver foxes were not even

mentioned in the. catalogue of the

exhibition, which had room only |}

for minks and blue foxes. Abso- lutely first-class animals, alone,

;were represented. for the Nor-

wegians had 71 district) exhibi- tions with a tremendous total of entries during the autumn, and only the champions from these were exhibited at the show.

the goods were said to have been sold to both European and do

A despatch from New Haven, Conn.. to ““‘Women’s Wear Daily” had the following: “A man and a woman teamed up to steal a $700 silver blue mink stole at Lil- lian’s Fur Studio, Capel Street, last Friday as the woman, pos- ing as a customer. was trying on furs, the man with her asked to use @ rest room. and the store owner. Jack M. Fieder- man. led the way. When he re turned the lady had disappeared with the fur.” :

A despatch from Norway dat¢ ed January 7 has the following: “Pensioned silver fox couples are the latest news on the social se- curity front in Norway. The few, but magnificent specimens that were carried up to the judges’ table. at the Fur Animal! Exhibi- tion here recently aroused little interest.

Al spectators crowded around the tables where mink aad blue foxes were shown, and the sil-

In passing it may be mention- ed that Norwegian blue foxes

are bringing prices that pay for

care and keep to the breeder. These breeders are generally lo- coast of Norway, where there is a plentiful supply of fish available. and they can produce very cheap furs.

The writer clearly remembers when Norway first became inter- ested in silver fox. In the spring of 1925 a young man came over from that country to learn fur farming at the McLure and Mac- Kinnon Silver Fox Farm. He spent almost a year there. and returned to Norway with a con signment of silver fox. Demand for silver fox in Prince Edward Island continued until 1930. when the government of Norway. put a ban on the importation of any more silver fox, having arrived atthe conclusion that they had a sufficient supply to commence in quantity themselves.
