If we .know M To the Fox Breeders of Prince Edward Island - The recent visit of the manager of the Fur Sales Board of the Silver Black Fox Breeders Association of Prince Edward Island to New York, Chicago, St Louis and Montreal, .showed him clearly that there is a large _andy-g'rowi_ng_.market for Silver Fox pelts in these fur 'ceiitt"_es. ' The dealers showed a keen interest in the Silver F0¢ pelts to be taken in P. E. ‘Island during the coming winter. One large dealer has spent more than two-weeks in our province, and has done much in-the way of showing our ranchers' the _kind of pelt that brings the highest price in the markets of thelwprld. Other dealers f `_` How best to handle the Silver Fox and other pelts that we have to offer during the year 1917, is a question that demands careful study. If each individual and Company ship independently, we believe the sum total received _for our pelts would be far below the total if the collection were marketed through a cehtral organization. The advantages of matching would be lost. Wewould have.no.means oflearning the class`of pelt that com- manded the highest price, nor would we be able to learn the range of prices for the different standards. To deal wi_th'__pur` 1917_ collection the Fur Sales Board 'offers the following-..plan: They' will start at once to ascertain from ranchers the number of pelts-they..plan to market. elt`s to the F_ur Sales Board as s_oon_'as they are properly urchase _forcash-_ large lots of skinspand accept or reject ealers of thehighest standing, the collection of skins, A moderate estimate of value will be placed on ach pelt, and of this amount the owner may have an dvance of 50 per cent., this amount bearing interest at per cent. per annum. The Fui,','fSa1es Board at first planned to charge for n considerable expense for proper storage, insurance, ttend to this part of the business, the Fur Sales Board as decided to charge only ONE per cent. of the net sum btamed for pelts.
