Through good times and bad the PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND FUR POOL LIMITED

maintains the same solid; sound and responsible business organization which has enjoyed the CONFIDENCE of so many ranchers in the past.

—- Business lntegrit_v' -- — Financial Responsibility — - Years of Experience -

fhis comhinziiitm provides silver fox ranchers with a marketing service which last season secured for its patrons sliuhtly ovcr $‘_’tl.fttt in average per pelt (including all low grades. pieces and culls) this being lllf} above the average price received the previous _vear. Each year our average return for pelts has been higher than through any other channcL

To maintain this high standard we continue to retain the same PERNIANFINT management and staff who have always fully appreciated their responsibility to each patron. No expense is spared to place our offerings on the most profitable markets and last. season 95% of our entire shipments were to London where through the fac- Ilities of the Auction Houses there and the activity of our London representative, who has had over twenty years ex- perience in the international fur trade. we have received not prices substantially above those available In other

markets.

Since ortzanlzed in I930 over 90% of our volume has been received from Maritime ranchers—-75% from Prince Edward Island ranchers where we are best known.
