Foxes I '

The Soverign Silver Black Fox Company, Limited” will have on the first day of September, A. D. 1914 at least Hfteen pairs of Pure Bred Island Silver Black Foxes and all. will be registered

in the highest grade or Class “A”. This will include four pairs of foxes that were purchased from the St. Louis Silver Black Fox Company. The St. Louis Silver Black Fox Company in 1913 paid a dividend of 400 per cent. All the foxes of the Soverign Silver Black Fox Company will be certihed as to quality by the Hon. Charles Dalton before they will become the property of the Company. This alone will be a guarantee to the investors that nothing but the very highest grade stockiwill be allowed in the ranch both for their breeding qualities as well as for their pelt value and fecundity. As an illustration of this the Company now has the offspring of the most prolific fox in the world. This female produced forty-five pups in seven years, and they will also have the direct decendants of a full brother of the fox whose pelt brought the highest price ever obtained for a single pelt. Read what Mr. Dalton says of the stock purchased from the St. Louis Silver Black Fox Company.

August 12th, 1913.

“This is to certify that in the year of 1912 I sold to W. P. Callaghan o_f St. Louis one pair of Pure Bred Black Foxes. These came from my very best stock and were as

good foxes as I ever bred in_Yny ranch and they produced a litter of four this last spring. I have also sold him one Pure Black Male of best quality and a tested breeder that I know have produced three litters. This male is now three years old and the first-mentioned pair are one year old. These three foxes have in their ears aluminum buttons _ , with my name and address on each one which I do not attach to any only the best stock.

Of the litters born next spring 1914 of the four pairs purchased from the St. Louis-Silver Black Fox Company, all with the exception of two pairs will be sold and the proceeds applied to pay a' dividend on the

capital stock is_sue_ocl_ tche compgpy not later tl}_ai_; October 1914, and the Company guarantees that said dividend shall not be less than ten per cent ‘B
