During 1913 twenty-six fox ranches lo :ated on Prince Edward Island paid cash dividends ranging from 20 p. c. to 500 p. c. the average for the twenty-six being in the vicinity of 150 p. C. This fact _alone will show you, in a narrow measure,the wonderful profits derived by invest- ors from this remarkable industry.It has been de~ fmitely shown that of all the precious ranched furs known to the trade, black fox is the most valuable. It is also known that of all the fine quality black foxes in Canada 92' p. c. are on Prince Edward Island and of the entire numb- er in the world 85 p. c. are located in Prince Edward Island ranches. _ l 56;' ¢ Q i‘ 1 - l `¥ ' } _ ld . *' "` an *L* - Y.. ‘ ' ii _ ,.”\ in ;;;.\ \ . - ., ., ,,, ' -C 'I #if ,\’ . _ __ _ AA _,€__~__ __ _-3_5, _ ,i_.- _ , _ ’ _.. . -\ A ».- 4'; "__ ` , L_. _._ I qi _,i ‘ 1 Authorized scnpiini C 3650 Pea~rson’s Magazine (November IQI3 issue) ~ “Ifthe silver black fox pelt beof gool duality li it will fetch _-f_`r.ooo on th- market.” » ~‘ Halifax, N.
