from $14,000 to $80,000 per pair. These are the prices advertised. (2) Yet when one~flfth of those prices is obtained the sale is heralded as proof that I misrepresented the business when I warned prospective investors that it was unwise to invest with the idea that pelts were worth from $1,300 to $3.000) and that foxes were worth from $14,000 to $30,000 per pair.
